Tutorial

[edit]
1. Navigate to WMF Toolforge – locator-tool, or, when you've activated the gadget, click on Locator-tool in toolbox. 👁 Image
2. Sign in using the button on the upper right corner.
3. Allow the locator-tool to edit existing pages. This is needed to automatically insert the {{Location}} or {{Object location}} information. 👁 Image
4. Click Select files and either provide a list of files to geocode or specify a category to fetch files from that. 👁 Image
5. Click load … to geolocate.
6. By default the list displays files lacking a {{Location}} information. Select one by clicking it.
If this file already has {{Object location}} assigned, the object location field will be filled with included coordinates. 		👁 Image
7. Select its location in the map. For object location press additionally the key. 👁 Image
8. Click the green button on right side of the according input field. If you want to clear added coordinates, press the x button to the left instead. 👁 Image
9. The location of camera or object will be saved. To convince yourself view the history of the file description page. 👁 Image
In step 5, you can alternatively click "show … on map" in order to display all files on the map. This helps to spot files with incorrect/inaccurate coordinates. 👁 Image
