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) 10:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Apalsola Apalsola
Perhaps you can help me I uploaded 4 photos : File:VR Class Ds1 Hyvinkaa Rly Mus Finland 1.jpg File:VR Class Ds1 Hyvinkaa Rly Mus Finland 2.jpg File:VR Class Ds1 Hyvinkaa Rly Mus Finland 3.jpg File:VR Class Ds1 Hyvinkaa Rly Mus Finland 4.jpg
I then tried to make a Sub-Category VR class Ds1
Tthe VR Class Ds 1 is Finlands first at a railbus/DMU so it deserves a Sub-Category to Category:Diesel multiple units, motor coaches and railcars of Finland.
So can you help me?
Regards
