Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Gérard Chauvier!

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.

Dear Mr. Chauvier, your contribution Gérard Chauvier will shortly be deleted: if you want to give some information about yourself, then your user page is the proper location for that. Regards, Wutsje (talk) 06:57, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

J'ai dû faire une confusion entre le nom sous lequel j'ai enregistré mes photos: "gerard chauvier" et le nom d'utilisateur "Gérard Chauvier". En fait, il s'agit de la même personne. Je suppose que le problème vient de là. Excusez moi pour cette erreur. Excusez moi également si je ne sais pas m'exprimer en Anglais. Bien à Vous Gérard Chauvier

No problem. Excuse me for not writing in French. :-)   Wutsje (talk) 08:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
