Import multiple maps from CSV #87

Closed samwilson closed 7 years ago

samwilson commented 8 years ago

It would be terrific to be able to import multiple maps, from external URLs, by uploading a CSV file. Has anyone done anything like this?

Nice idea. There are batch imports for instances of the mapwarper on some institutions servers. There is a simple "import from directory" import feature but its not used on mapwarper.net. Mapwarper.net is generally for individuals.

For example there is the ability to batch import a Category/group of maps on the Wikimedia Commons Wikimaps Warper.

Oh cool, thanks for the pointers. Especially re the Commons system. Will investigate further!
