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 06:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Hi
[edit]I appreciate the encouragement you give me, since I have not always received good words about my contribution. This is a tough work to do, but necessary; and it should also be everybody's work. Nice to meet you (on-line); best wishes in the Commons project.--Locutus Borg (talk) 19:49, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Please don't blank pages
[edit]Hi Mashaunix,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you blanked Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Alentejo oak on wheat field.jpg on Commons. If you meant for the page to be deleted, blanking the page is not the right way to do this. Please use {{speedy| type reason here }} and add it on top of the page you would like to have deleted; This way it will be placed on a special list that administrators check regularly for deletion. Without this it might take a long time before it's noticed. For redirects use #REDIRECT[[Target]] or {{category redirect|Targetcategoryname}}. For more information please read Blanking. Thanks again.
- I've deleted it. –Krinkletalk 02:23, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for deleting it.--MASHAUNIX 17:26, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
