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 06:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Martin, Please be careful when you upload images not to overwrite an existing image that is already using the same filename. Eg your upload of File:San Miguel.jpg over-wrote an existing file with the same name. The upload page warns you when this is about to happen and you should only continue if you are uploading an better (eg larger resolution) version of the same picture. You can easily upload your new image with a slightly different name eg "File:San Miguel 01.jpg". Thanks --Tony Wills (talk) 22:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
