Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Natural RX!

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.

Further modifications are needed: Move the source images to the source field in the infobox. You have to name the authors (not the uploaders to Commons if sourced to Flickr) and the original license they were released under. (file:xxx.jpg by user:xxx with cc-by-sa-2.0 or similar) Replace the license tag self|cc-by-sa-3.0 with just cc-by-sa-3.0 as the images are not your own work (you just slapped them together). In the current state it's a copyright violation due to missing author attribution. --Denniss (talk) 00:48, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

BSicons

Hi, please use a text editor like BBEdit, TextEdit or Notepad++ to make BSicons instead of using Inkscape. This avoids unnecessary clutter in the files and makes them easier to edit textually in the future. Jc86035 (talk) 10:32, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I'll stick with what I know, thanks, but I'll remember to save them as plain SVGs instead of Inkscape-types to reduce file size. Skipped my mind. --Natural R_X 13:48, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
