Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Iridos!

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.

Good work, but the bird's head is transparent, not white... AnonMoos (talk) 00:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Hm, guess you have a point. Same goes for the tail feathers. One could argue, though, that all of it is white including the background (so I don't see that it makes much of a difference, it should never be used on a non-white background anyway). I'll make them white, but it's 3am here, so I'll not fix that now (and it might be some time, as I'm a bit busy right at the moment)

Thanks for the comment, that wouldn't have occured to me :) Iridos (talk) 01:05, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

I fixed it then... AnonMoos (talk) 03:22, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

All right, works for me. Thanks. Iridos (talk) 09:14, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
