Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Tetraeder~commonswiki!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Tetraeder~commonswiki!

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.

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Kategorien

Hallo Tetraeder, bitte kategorisiere Deine Bilder sinnvoll. Bedenke bitte, dass nur sinnvoll kategorisierte Bilder von anderen Benutzern gefunden werden können. Und nur dadurch ergibt das Hochladen der Bilder hier überhaupt einen Sinn. Bevor Du noch mehr falsch machst, lese Dir bitte erste einmal Commons:Categories gründlich durch. Dort steht auch, dass deutsche Kategoriebezeichnungen wie etwa Category:Pflanzen und Tiere und Category:Tropische Pflanzen bei File:Luftwurzeln.jpg hier nicht zulässig sind. Dass sie nicht funktionieren, erkennst Du ja schon an den roten Links. (Category:Pflanzen und Tiere scheint zu funktionieren, ist aber eine sehr ungeschickt benannte "Privatkategorie" eines anderen Benutzers, die Du jedenfalls nicht benutzen solltest, wenn Du keinen Ärger mit dem andern Benutzer haben willst.) Nicht von Dir identifizierbare Pflanzen kannst Du mit Category:Unidentified plants versehen. Das hier ist aber offensichtlich ein Ficus. Daher ist Category:Unidentified Ficus von der Bestimmung her die bestmöglichste Kategorie für dieses Bild. Die richtige Kategorie für Luftwurzeln ist Category:Aerial roots. Bilder vom Botanischen Garten in Puerto de la Cruz gehören zudem in Category:Jardín de Aclimatación de la Orotava.

Noch ein Tipp: Solange Du Dich mit dem hiesigen Kategoriesystem noch nicht so gut auskennst, schaue Dich bitte VOR dem Hochladen nach den passenden Kategorien für Deine Bilder um. Gruß, -- Ies (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tetraeder. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tetraeder~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
