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 05:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for fixing my silly mistake. I don't know, sometimes it looks like my brain is on strike or something. –Tryphon☂ 07:51, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
File:Energy density DE.svg - Legend of y-axis
[edit]Excellent work! The legend of the y-axis reads MJ/l, I had a long time to figure, what I is, until I understood it must be litres (L). → Why not write ℓ instead? I tried to modify the SVG, but my Inkscape was unable to do it. Can you give it a try? --Saippuakauppias (talk) 23:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
