Well, as long as it is done in the way it needs to be done, then anyone else adding pictures would not be more work for me, but rather would reduce my workload.

But there is a particular way that images are being uploaded and organised on the wiki, so the the following would need to be done for each image:

1. the naming convention being used for images collection item images needs to be followed followed - Cxxx_collections name_ixx_item name - this convention allows for images to be easily found if ever needed for other pages but also forces the images to be arranged in order they appear in game when together. All the collections are numbered (first collection being C001 and last collection being C360), for quick reference see Category:Collections_(Cropped), which is also what I use for naming images without having to have game open.

2. each image needs to be added to Category:Collection_Items and Category:Collection_Item_Images

3. the image page needs to edited to add a description that names the collection item and the collection it belongs too

4. the Template:Fair Use Rationale with an embedded Template:Fair Use Game Screenshot is added to the description on the image's page, with the fair use rationale filled in

(though 3 and 4 really just mean copying and pasting the text from an exisiting image and changing the items name)

For an example, see the image page for Ancient Spider item from the Insects in Amber collection:

It is doing all that stuff that is time consuming and slow, adding the images to page is relatively painless once they are on the site and ready to go.

The images have been added to the first 90 collections already (so 540 images total). There are 171 more giftable collections (a further 1026 images) and then 99 non-giftable collections (a further 594 images).

If it helps, I will prioritse the giftable collections and do the non-giftable ones last. Some form of coordination is needed to avoid overlap, what I said to JulietEcho was to start at opposite sides of the list and meet somewhere in the middle. I started at top.
