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 06:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Category:Aircraft damaged in combat
[edit]Hi, I noticed this category you created, Category:Aircraft damaged in combat ; and it is empty. I am sorry if you already know about this, bu let me explain a bit more about categories. For categories to work properly, you have to put the tag [[Category:Aircraft damaged in combat]] on every picture you want to categorise. Pictures then automatically appear on the category page, sorted alphabetically.
You in fact used this category as a Gallery (which are perfectly fine in their own right). I just created this galley, Aircrafts damaged in combat, just by copy/paste from the category.
Feel free to contact me if you have any question.
Sincerly, Jean-Frédéric (talk) 21:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. I just categorised all the files which were displayed on the gallery. By the way, you may want to activate HotCat in your personal preferences : it is very useful.
- It also occurred to me that your category might be redundant with Category:Aircraft accidents, Category:Aircraft damage or Category:Destroyed aircraft. As I am not really knowledgeable on this subject, I let you judge of this.
- Cheers, Jean-Frédéric (talk) 16:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!
[edit]I just wanted to thank you for straightening out the categories for the images I transferred. Next time I'll be more alert for the difference between a National Historic Landmark and the National Register of Historic Places. Shinerunner (talk) 09:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
