Link Buttons to add a template to a Photograph page
' '
If the Photo file still needs to be uploaded
If the photo file has already been uploaded
5
Note: Select the TOP button if the photo file still needs to be uploaded, or the BOTTOM button if the photo file has already been uploaded with a compliant file name.
The difference between the two options is the number that is generated. if the photo file is already uploaded the generated number has to reflect number of files in the Category, otherwise it needs to represent one mor than the number of files in the Category. The file format is Photo5NNNNNN.png, where NNNNNN is the generated number, but the page name is prefixed with "File:" because all the Pages for uploaded files are in the 'File' Category.
You need to be in control of both steps of the process (upload files, and add template) and it would be best if you are able to see the photo when you populate the Template, otherwise you will have to have notes to refer to. All photo's uploaded need to be in the .png format because the file extension is hard coded into the pagename generating code. This was on the advice that this was the best format for websites which might only apply to more graphical images as opposed to photographs. I have found the graphics editor Paint.net (opensource) to be an excellent piece of software if you need to change a format, even if all you use it for is cropping, adjusting contrast or changing file formats.
Data can always be edited if something goes wrong but that will always be best done by editing the template data, rather than recreating the image file with a new/corrected name. Until Photo data gets linked to pages, the page name for a photo is immaterial.

Timeline for WAIPARA_____________________________1880 - present
The following information is as presented on the Paperspast web page
Issues Available for this newspaper cover the years 1887 - 1949
This newspaper has also been published as:
Northern Advocate and General Advertiser, Northern Advocate and Whangarei County Gazette, Whangarei Comet and Northern Advertiser
The Northern Advocate newspaper was launched in 1875 by George Edwin Alderton under the title Whangarei Comet and Northern Advertiser. In 1877 the title changed to the Northern Advocate and General Advertiser.
As the title suggests, the Advocate was set up to voice the concerns of Northlanders. Its stated purpose was to redress "the real criminal injustice the northern settlements laboured under from the legislature of the colony".
The Advocate quickly established itself. Initially it was issued weekly. It had 12 pages and carried a small section printed in Māori. It probably started daily publication in 1902 in response to the setting up of another newspaper in Whangarei, the Northern Chronicle.
The Advocate had various rivals over the years. In 1891 there was the Kamo and Hikurangi Gazette which probably only lasted a year. A potentially serious competitor emerged in 1902 - the Northern Chronicle. The publisher of this paper was Francis Mander. Mander, the father of the author Jane Mander, was a local MP and businessman. However before the Chronicle got established, Mander acquired the Advocate and closed the Chronicle. For a short time in the 1900s there were two daily newspapers in Whangarei besides the Advocate. These were the Whangarei County Press (1905-1908?) and the Northern Mail (1908-1914?). Whangarei could not support three newspapers and The Press closed down almost immediately. The Mail and the Advocate enjoyed a lively rivalry until 1914 when the owners of the Mail acquired the Advocate. The new owners formed the Northern Advocate Co. and closed the Mail.
The Advocate is still the daily newspaper in Whangarei.
NOTE: On the Paperspast website, the newspaper scans are presented to the user as an image, with some images being very long. As it is not possible to pinpoint exactly where in an image the referenced railway information is, users may need to exercise some patience working through the image presented, in order to find the section they want. A single newspaper segment could also contain more than one railway related subject and in such cases, there should be more than one reference recorded in the wiki.
