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 05:38, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Please don't leave back empty categories.
[edit]Hello Arado,
please don't leave back empty categories. If you create one by mistake you can nominate it for speedy deletion as long as it's empty. Just edit the page and write {{speedy delete|your reason...}} and save it. An administrator will check and delete it shortly after. Thank you and best regards. --Zaccarias (talk) 16:21, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Redundant category
[edit]Category:Buildings in Beijing is asub-category of Category:Buildings in China. It is thus redundant of adding the latter.

I wouldn't really call this an "equestrian event". The horses and riders are visually compelling, so I've taken a lot of pictures of them, but they are not even 10% of the participants in the parade. So I'm going to revert that, but didn't want to blindside you in doing so. - Jmabel ! talk 16:02, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Tip: Riders from countries and Equestrians

I'm not sure Category:Horses of Seattle is a good idea. Most horses in Seattle, at least in the last century or so, aren't horses of Seattle. They're horses that happen to be in Seattle at the moment they are photographed. - Jmabel ! talk 02:50, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
Category:FISTA (aircraft)
[edit]Hi Arado. I'm not quite sure why you created Category:FISTA (aircraft). The FISTA program was not NASA, but the Air Force Research Laboratory. Further, FISTA I was an NKC-135A (55-3120), while FISTA II was an NKC-135E (55-3135). I'm not finding any images on Commons of either of the FISTA aircraft in that configuration. I kind of feel that category needs to be deleted. Thoughts? — Huntster (t @ c) 09:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

[edit]You have removed the "Category:CT scanners" from the files: "20221128 Institute of Oncology Gliwice 02.jpg" and "20221128 Institute of Oncology Gliwice 03.jpg". Were these categories wrong? Abraham (talk) 00:10, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
[edit]English · français
When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:IRIS-T SLM. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).
