Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Gfuerst!

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.

Centre iconographie genevoise et cabinet des estampes

Bonjour Gfuerst,

Il me semble que le nom du fichier File:Centre iconographie genevoise.JPG ainsi que la description qui y est attachée ne correspondent pas vraiment à ce que que l'on voit principalement sur la photo, à savoir la maison de quartier de Plainpalais. À mon avis, il faudrait rectifier le titre et la description. J'ai mis une remarque en page de discussion de la photo. --Romano1246 (talk) 20:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Idem avec l'image prétendument cabinet des estampes, alors que c'est l'immeuble d'à côté. --Romano1246 (talk) 11:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
