How to map

Add the filename of symbols. File can be in the OSM wiki or Wikimedia Commons.

Do not add the complete address.

Example for Jacobs pilgrimage ways:

=Symbol_Jakobsweg.svg

... to reference the following image:

located at File:Symbol_Jakobsweg.svg

If the file is stored in the OSM wiki please add {{Used outside the Wiki|description= <some link> }} to the file description. This will help wiki editors when reviewing and categorising files. It will also add the file to Category:File used outside the wiki and thus help you find files that are uploaded already.
