+===To upload a file to The English Lakes===
 * Choose the '''source file'''. Other file extensions are also permitted. '''Whenever possible upload the image with the highest possible resolution'''.
 * Edit the '''destination filename''' below. Use a descriptive and concise filename, e.g. ''Sunset over Windermere.jpg'' instead of ''IMG_0086273.jpg''. You will not be able to change the filename once you've uploaded the file unless you move the page.
+===The following variables must be filled in===
-Then fill in the following variables in the form:
+*'''Description''': Write a descriptive and concise caption of your image.
+*'''Date taken''': The creation date, or publication date if creation date is unknown.
-*'''Description''': Write a descriptive and concise caption.
-*'''Source''': The URL where you found the file, or write "own work" if it is your own creation.
+*'''Author''': This is you (hopefully) so link to your username or real name. This is used for attribution purposes.
+*'''Source''': Use "Own work" if you are the author. You can also link to an external site here.
-*'''Date''': The creation date, or publication date if creation date is unknown.
+*'''Licence''': The drop-down licence options, preferably [[Template:cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)|cc-by-sa-4.0 (self)]] – [[The English Lakes:Why do I have to include a licence for my image?|Why should I include this?]]
-*'''Author''': The names(s) of the author(s).
-*'''Permission''': Select the appropriate licence from the menu, or write the copyright tag in this field. [[The English Lakes:Why do I have to include a licence for my image?|Why should I include this?]]
-*'''other_versions (optional)''': If the file is a modified or composed version of other file(s) you may show them here. For example, in a <nowiki><gallery> … </gallery></nowiki> with one filename per line.
+===The following variables are strongly preferred but not mandatory===
-Please organise your files after uploading using appropriate categories.
+*'''Latitude''' and '''Longitude''': These are essential and need to be {{w1|decimal degrees}} as they render the map location.
+*'''OS grid''': {{w1|Ordnance Survey National Grid}} reference numbers, e.g., '''NY2621''' is a 1km x 1km grid square. On this site it is used for categorising images [[:Category:Photographs by National Grid squares|into grid squares]].
+*'''w3w''': This is the [https://what3words.com what3words] address, which is another way to find an exact location. The National trust car park at Buttermere village is [https://what3words.com/checked.piglets.loudly  checked.piglets.loudly]
+*'''View direction''': Provides an approximate direction of view. There are 16 pre-set templates to use; just add one from [[The English Lakes:Compass direction templates|this table]].
+Please organise your files after uploading using appropriate categories – see [[The English Lakes:How to create categories|How to create categories]].
-Please note that the file you upload '''''must''''' abide by British copyright law, repeated failure to do so will result in copyright violations and may lead to '''wiki closure'''. Fair use as such does not exist in the British system, it is instead replaced by a similar but stricter [[w:Fair dealing in United Kingdom law|fair dealing]] system.
