Allow users to add metadata to "EXPLORE IMAGES"

Lori Wenerstrom said: Allow users to add "Title, Dates, Type of Record, Author, Jurisdiction, number of items, etc." to EXPLORE IMAGES.
Because there is no cataloging and there are no notes as to what each image set contains, could users help to define what is contained within a given set of records to help future users locate what they are looking for?

Paul said: Sorry to appear pedantic, but I assume you mean the "Explore Historical Images" option (reached via "Search" and "Images" in the drop-down menus). If so, thank you for reminding me of its existence. I believe I did try to use the feature previously, but was overwhelmed by the amount of results I received. Obviously, you can narrow these down, but would need to know the title of the collection, I guess, especially if it related more to a subject (e.g. Monumental Inscriptions) rather than a specific place.

Anyhow, returning to your request, I found this in a search of Norfolk, England images:



In the example above, some idea is provided of the contents of the item. I assume you are requesting editing rights over the detail shown on the right side of the page. Or perhaps you seeking the ability to input data on the page from which it was reached, viz.



I don't know if this would be possible as, for example, FamilySearch seems reluctant to give certain editing rights to its Wiki articles. Also, what you might find a definitive description of the contents might still not match the description other users might find best. In an example of the latter, I did ask for the title of an INDEXED collection of Norfolk records to be changed, as I felt the description did not fit all the contents. A FamilySearch employee DID change the title but, to me, it still remains a little unclear - meaning users could possibly be missing-out on some of the records they might wish to view.

Perhaps if you could provide your own specific examples it would help us (including FamilySearch employees following these topics) to consider how your request might be implemented.
