I know I'm far from the only OSM contributor to succumb to the lure of "fixing" things in Wikimedia Commons and related projects. I was pushed over the edge by the lack of photos of the Málaga Metro.
Going out and taking photos to fill the gaps turned out to be the easy bit, compared to sorting out categories and wikidata links/labels. But I got there in the end, and now every station has at least 3 photos.
Screenshot is the OsmAnd photo display for Paraninfo station.

@alan@en.osm.town Until recently Granada (and therefore Malaga airport) were regular work visits. I enjoy reading your posts and this one made me remember I’d wished someone would have done photos for the Granada tram service.

@alan@en.osm.town How do you upload photos to wikimedia? Cause i've been reading their contribution guidelines and they state the image needs to contribute to some wikimedia foundation project (ex. a wikipedia article) and i want to photograph some bus stations on my city
