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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

- Thank you for responding. Please see Commons:Deletion requests/Watercolors by Jorge Blanco Mena, where I've now explained what you have to do to sort this out. - Jmabel ! talk 16:19, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
- Looks like this is all sorted out now. You may want to look at the six image files and see if you can add more relevant description or categories. Especially, if any of these hang in museums it would be good to say where. - Jmabel ! talk 15:28, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
- OK. I´ll do my best. Greetings!--Gibooks (talk) 18:18, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- You now put a notice on Category:Watercolor paintings by Jorge Blanco Mena (Artistmena) and on my talk page nominating for CFD, but no CFD page is linked. I see you wrote on the talk page "none of these photos can be used for commercial purposes", but you licensed them as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported, which is irrevocable. What is going on here? - Jmabel ! talk 23:39, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Hello: What it happens it´s that I gave you a permission but excluding commercial purposes. You decided tagged that way but that´s not what we wanted. Everybody could see those photos but not making a profit of them freely. That´s the problem--Gibooks (talk) 00:57, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
