Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Wokshots!

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.

Categorising media in Wikimedia Commons

Thanks for your uploads. Please read COM:Categories to learn how the category system of Wikimedia Commons works. Please also carefully read COM:OVERCAT to learn how not to categorise your uploads. Please also only categorise what is shown on the image. In your case that would be to not use Category:Travel. This category is only for images that show travel (people travelling, modes of transport etc.). It is not meant to contain images of non-travel related subjects that were made during a holiday. Thank you. - Takeaway (talk) 10:42, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
