Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 05:41, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Quick OTRS Question
[edit]Hi Stifle,
Sorry to sully your talk page with another OTRS question, but your helpful "How to help OTRS volunteers" page makes you my favorite OTRS volunteer. :D
My question sir, is this: if I have images pending during the 30 or so day period of waiting for OTRS review, is it a better idea to hold off on actually using them in articles in case they arn't accepted for some reason? I don't forsee their rejection but this is my first time actually submiting for approval so I don't know the best practices. Thanks for any info or opinion you can provide!

- I would go ahead and use them; the worst that can happen is they'll be deleted. Stifle (talk) 09:23, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
