Hello, Habst!
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.

Cropping images

[edit]

By way of information for the future, when you want to crop an image, as you did with File:Brazier-crop.png, I suggest you use the CropTool that can be activated in your commons Preferences, under Gadgets. The CropTool will then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. It even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa so long as the original has been positively reviewed. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually reviewed. If you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the original image but for more major crops, like this one, you should upload the cropped version as a separate new image, but you have a choice. I hope you can see how everyone can save time by using CropTool. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 22:37, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Ww2censor, thanks for reminding me know about this -- I had meant to use that tool but never got around to learning it until now. Just enabled it and will be using it in the future. --Habst (talk) 02:33, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Ww2censor, do you know if there's a similar tool to grab a screenshot from a video on Commons? I did that manually for File:Klavdiya Afanasyeva.png from File:Килтишри Тĕнче чемпионĕ.webm but don't want to waste admin time if there's a tool like the crop tool to do it automatically with license info. --Habst (talk) 15:17, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but no, I never heard of such a tool and can't find anything amoungst these tools. Maybe you can ask at the Help Desk and see any anyone responds. Ww2censor (talk) 15:48, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
File:Day 8 at the 2024 United States Olympic Trials (track and field) 83.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
