Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, C.de-f!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

• Image:Photo JN.jpg was uncategorized on 30 June 2011 CategorizationBot (talk) 10:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
• Image:24 Heures du Mans 2011.jpg was uncategorized on 30 June 2011 CategorizationBot (talk) 10:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Ne pas écraser les photo existantes svp

• Vous avez chargé le 30 juin 2011 à 17:50 cette photo File:24 Heures du Mans 2011.jpg, celle avec les 4 voitures, et le descriptif correspond à cette image (on parle des numéros 49, 35 et 15) : ne plus toucher cette image !
• Vous voulez charger une photo similaire, avec 3 voitures : il ne faut pas la charger "par dessus", il faut la charger comme nouvelle photo, avec le formulaire d'import normal (ici : Special:UploadWizard), et lui donner un autre nom (deux photos ne peuvent pas avoir le même nom.
• Idem pour File:OAK Racing LMP2 2010 ILMC Zhuhai.jpg, chargée par Ngchikit voiture de 3/4 avant), que vous avez écrasée par une autre photo (voiture de profil) : il faut charger vos propres photos avec le bon descriptif, et une licence appropriée (on ne peux pas choisir une licence à votre place, et on ne connait pas la description à mettre pour la photo).
• Pour éditer du texte sur une page de photo, il suffit, comme sur Wikipédia, de cliquer sur l'onglet [Modifier] en haut de la page.
• Pour connaitre l'historique des versions de texte d'une page de photo, c'est l'onglet [Afficher l'historique] en haut de la page.
• Pour connaitre les différentes versions successivement téléchargées d'un même fichier (même nom), il faut descendre dans la page, jusqu'au paragraphe "Historique du fichier".
