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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:04, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

- I moved your request from COM:AN/B, a page intended for block and protection issues, to Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:"I_Want_to_Fly"_sand_painting_by_Brian_Pike_.jpg. --Martin H. (talk) 12:57, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- I was guided wrong by your edit changing the file name in the notification above. That resulted in a red link, I thoug the image was already deleted and moved it to the undeletion requests. However, the image still exists ;). Now someone answered you at COM:UNDEL. --Martin H. (talk) 15:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
