Hello, Burgkirsch~commonswiki!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Hi,

Thank you for improving pictures on Wikimedia Commons.

The original uploader of File:Penne all'arrabbiata.jpg were a little bit surprised of the photo shrinking.

Be careful when you do color correction:

  • to work with the original size picture, not the thumbnail version
  • to check if the color correction is a bonus or a necessity:
    • If it's a necessity, you can overwrite the original picture;
    • In the other cases, and if the color correction is rather aggressive, you can reupload a new file. You copy the description page of the other pictures, and add the {{Retouched picture}} template. For example, it could be in this case {{Retouched picture|Color levels correction|editor=Burgkirsch|orig=Penne all'arrabbiata.jpg}}.

I'm at your disposal if you've another question. --Dereckson (talk) 16:59, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
