Hello, Erwin Franzen!
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.

I don't know why these are still marked as uncategorized. The categories are given on the bottom of the page: Category: Mountains of Lebanon, Geography of Lebanon. Erwin Franzen (talk) 13:22, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Erwin!

Thank you for supporting the deletion debate. One question remains: Under which licence do you want your files be published? Right now all files that are in discussion are under a {{CC-by-sa-1.0 licence}}. --High Contrast (talk) 18:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine with me. Erwin Franzen (talk) 13:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
