Media needing categories
[edit]Hi Shadow Fow. I have seen nice photos made by you. From your gallery I have seen that many of them do not have a link to a category. That makes it very difficult to find such a photo except when using the search and using a word that is also giving in the description. I tried to add a category to your image Image:JR_East_Makuhari_Car_Center_Kisarazu_Branch.jpg but as I could not find a name of a city or of a country I did not know what to attribute. Could you please add categories to your photos? Thanks, Wouter (talk) 13:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
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 06:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
