A massive uploading tool has been created for the events Wikipedia Takes Your City in order to help the team scores' compilation, even several days after the event.

All the targets have been entered beforehand by the administrator and the participants only have to link their pictures with the corresponding target in order to automatically compile the score, name and categorize the files, show the appropriate license, etc. This is a simple and efficient tool to manage uploading at the end of the photographic hunt.

The tool has been developed by Kaldari for Wikimedia projects.
