Categorizing images
[edit]Thanks for uploading some of your MBTA images! You should take a look at how the categorization system works on Commons - it's hierarchical, so you only need to put images in the most specific categories. For example, see the edits to this image and this image. Every MBTA station has a category, every MBTA locomotive type has a category, many bus types have a category, etc. Using the proper categories is absolutely necessary for images to be useful and findable. If you have questions about how to categorize an image, just ask me! Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:40, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
