Hello, DennisM!

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 Dennis, I believe you speak Dutch. If no: please let me know.

Even een komplimentje vanwege de fraaie tekening van de Heuvelrug. Ik speelde zelf al heel lang met het idee dat er iets dergelijks moest komen, maar ik kan dat soort dingen niet. Jij blijkbaar wel! Erg goed hoor. Dit soort eenvoudige diagrammen kan vaak meer zeggen dan duizend woorden, en horen juist in een encyclopedie als wikipedia een prominente plaats te krijgen. Ik ga gauw eens kijken of je meer van die mooie plaatjes hebt gemaakt! Groet, Dick Bos (talk) 16:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
