Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Seriykotik!

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.

How to rename a file

Regarding your question: Please read Commons:File renaming I just renamed the file. -- Common Good (talk) 20:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Naming etc

Hi - I deleted the page "through the viewfinder" in part because it was empty but also the " is not standard naming. If you do want to create a gallery then maybe use through the viewfinder without quotes? Regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:06, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
