#QWiki December 2017: A Very "Mayor-y" Christmas
Let's give the mayors of Queensland's local government areas a Christmas present by getting their names into Wikipedia. All local government area articles have (or should have) a section called "Mayors" or "Chairmen and Mayors" or similar where all the chairmen/mayors over the years are supposed to be listed (some lists are more complete than others!) plus there is a field in the infobox (top right corner) for the current mayor.

Now we have some reliable sources on the mayors:
 * elected in 2016 at
 * elected in 2012 at
 * elected in 2008 at

On those webpages, you will find a link to the "Mayoral results" for each LGA. Each of those Mayoral Results page will be used in the citations.

Here's the list of local government areas that need their mayors updated with dates, names and/or citations:

''Tip: Be wary of any mentions of "now", "present" or "2008-" (etc) as it may mean that the article was updated at a previous election but may not be fully up-to-date with the 2016 election. Check the citations if in doubt. If still in doubt, add citations from the Electoral Commission of Queensland

#QWiki November 2017: Queensland Electoral Redistribution
Every electoral district for Queensland state elections has a Wikipedia article, e.g. Electoral district of Algester. However, in 2017, there was a redistribution of the electorates, which is documented here. While most of the updates have been done to reflect the changed electoral districts, there are some remaining tasks to be done.

Easy tasks: add 2017 electoral maps to the article
The Electoral Commission of Queensland website has all of the maps for the individual electoral districts. Most of the electoral districts have carried over in name (at least) from the previous redistribution in 2008 but normally with changed boundaries; their Wikipedia article still has a rough map from 2008. The task is to replace the 2008 map in the "infobox" (the table of information on the right hand side of the article) with the 2017 map while retaining the 2008 map in the article but not in the "infobox".

This means you have to learn how to add an image from Wikimedia Commons into an article and how to edit an infobox and add an image in the infobox (which is done a different way to adding it to the body). There are quite a few steps, but it is easier than it looks!

Here are the steps:

1.Open 3 separate browser window/tab for each of: 2. Pick an electoral district from the bullet point list of electoral list below. These instructions assume the electoral district of Algester.
 * the ECQ website
 * Wikipedia (as a logged-in-user)
 * Wikimedia Commons (as a logged-in-user)

3. Go to the ECQ website and open the map (PDF file) for Algester and save it on your computer (note the directory it saved it in). 4. Upload the 2017 map to Wikimedia Commons:
 * The filename will be ECQ-2017-Final-Algester.pdf

On Wikimedia Commons, upload the ECQ-2017-Final-Algester.pdf file either using the Blue Button towards the top right or from the toolbar on the left with the following steps:
 * Select media files to share
 * Navigate to the ECQ-2017-Final-Algester.pdf file you downloaded, then click Open
 * twiddle thumbs during the upload then click Continue
 * Click "This file is not my own work", then for the Source, we need the title of the file and the URL (from where you downloaded the file -- don't just replace the Algester part of what appears below, you need the actual URL of the file you downloaded) as follows:

2017 Queensland State Electoral district of Algester, from https://ecq.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/69299/ECQ-2017-Final-Algester.pdf


 * then add the Author:

Electoral Commission of Queensland


 * then you need to explain why (in terms of copyright) you are allowed to upload this file. Click on the option of "The copyright holder published this work with the right Creative Commons licence" until you see the sub-list of several options. Click on the 4th option "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0" (which is the long way of saying CC-BY), don't use the first option of "Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0". If you look at the lower left corner of the map, you will see the CC-BY logo (so you know you are doing the right thing!).
 * Then click NEXT.


 * Next screen you need to provide a title. You will probably already see "ECQ-2017-Final-Algester" in the box, but let's do something more meaningful like

Map of the electoral district of Algester, 2017


 * as the title and you can copy it into the description too.
 * For the date, click on the pencil and type 2017 into the box.


 * The category you need is:

Queensland state electoral districts, 2017


 * Then click NEXT. After a few moments, you should see a thumbnail of your map and some information (but not for the Visual Editor user). So please click on the thumbnail and and you should see the heading

File: Map of the electoral district of Algester, 2017.pdf

5. Now switch over to your Wikipedia browser window/tab and open the Wikipedia article, e.g. Electoral district of Algester 6. Open the article in the Visual Editor and then open the Infobox by clicking it and then clicking on the Edit in the pop-up box. You are now seeing the fields of the infobox, the first field we are interested in is "image" (e.g. QLD - Algester 2008.png).
 * leave that on screen (we'll come back later).
 * You should be seeing a 2008 map in the infobox. We are going to preserve this for comparison but not in the infobox.

'''7. Copy the filename in the image field. Now close the infobox box by clicking "Cancel" (top left of the pop-up).'''

8. Now we will preserve the old electoral map in the article: 9. Now, let's add our 2017 map to the infobox:
 * Position your cursor at the start of the text of the article "The electoral district of Algester is an ..." and then choose Insert > Media from your tool bar. It will start searching for images that relate to the article title. With luck, after a little while, it will find the 2008 map and it will appear as a thumbnail. If it doesn't, paste the filename you copied from the infobox into the search box and wait and it should appear.
 * Click on the 2008 map thumbnail, double-check the meta-data to ensure it is really the image you want, and then click "Use this image".
 * it wants a caption e.g. "2008 map". Then click Insert. You should now see the map in both the infobox and below it in the main article area.
 * Click on the infobox and then click Edit to open it for editing.
 * Now pop back to your Wikimedia Commons window and copy the file name of your 2017 map except for the "File:" at the start. You should have copied:

Map of the electoral district of Algester, 2017.pdf


 * Now back to your Wikipedia article. Paste the file name into the "Image" field over the existing 2008 file and change the "Caption" field to something like:

Map of the electoral district of Algester, 2017 (i.e. just chop off ".pdf")


 * Now click Apply Changes, and you should see the 2017 map in the infobox.
 * Then Save Changes, add your edit summary e.g. "#qwiki updating the map", and Save Changes. Done!

Harder task: expanding articles
Some of the new electorates are named after prominent people. The Redistribution Report (large document, slow to open) has short biographies of these people in Appendix A (page 365 paper, page 218 PDF). Use this information (which is NOT CC-licensed so can't directly copy) and/or from other sources to update this person's Wikipedia article, including that an electorate has been named after them!

 * Maude Bonney

 * Arthur Macalister
 * Mary McConnel (pioneer)
