Hello, T201911!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Don't overwrite photographs with newer ones

[edit]

Hi. In general, please don't overwrite photographs with newer, different ones, unless you are just uploading an improved version of the same photograph. Upload the newer photographs under different names. I've reverted "File:CC21HollandVillage.jpg" to the original version and renamed it to "File:Holland Village MRT Station, Singapore, under construction - 20090706.jpg", and uploaded the newer versions of the files as "File:Holland Village MRT Station, Singapore, under construction - 20101118.jpg" and "File:Interior of Holland Village MRT Station - 20111008.jpg". — SMUconlaw (talk) 22:12, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, dear, I just noticed you have been doing this for many photographs of MRT stations. Could you please revert your changes and upload the new photographs under new filenames? Thanks. — SMUconlaw (talk) 22:14, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
