[edit] Commonality
I've added a template {{geograph}} over at Wikimedia Commons. It's similar, but uses the geograph image number, instead of the grid reference code. Arguably, since geograph pictures are Creative Commons licensed, they would be better always posted over there, but that's a matter for discussion. For an example of how to use the template, see the note at commons:Category:Geograph images. - Crosbiesmith 15:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Crosbiesmith, I have now modified this template to match the Commons one and edited all uses to for the new arguments. Thanks/wangi 22:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
