Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Nevetsjc!

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.

Superseding

Please take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/Superseded (and just tag the png images with {{Superseded}}. Multichill (talk) 12:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Ittihad-jumhuriyat-arabiya.gif

Please do not remove all categories from an image except in certain special circumstances. Anyway, I'm not sure it was really worth converting to SVG, since it was uploaded mainly for one specific purpose (in connection with File:Flag of Egypt 1972.svg ). AnonMoos (talk) 19:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

And please restore the categories where you removed them. Multichill (talk) 20:02, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

-- Sorry about that; it was in the list of things to be converted for some reason.. I'll change back the links

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Harcerskie_sprawnosci.png

Hello,

would you please explain to me, why you converted the image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harcerskie_sprawnosci.jpg to a PNG back in 2009? In my opinion that doesn't make any sense. The file ist enormously bigger (1.52 MB vs. 237 KB). I think the PNG should be deleted and replaced by the original JPG.

Thank you, --Area42 (talk) 14:31, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
