Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Gemini2525!

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.

St.John Cathedral

Hi. I noticed you have taken and uploaded several photos of Fresno, California. If you live in or near the city I was wondering if you could take and upload photo(s) of St. John Cathedral (2814 Mariposa St.) in Fresno? There are several Wikipedia pages that the photos can be posted to and I have been trying to find people from the areas where we need the photos to help out. You can leave your response here. Thanks.
