Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Chris0693!

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.

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
• State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
• If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
• Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
• Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Bahnhofskategorien

Die von dir massenhaft in Dateien eingefügten, bislang nicht existenten Kategorien (Bahnhof Rheine u.a.) solltest du bitte auch anlegen. - A.S. 14:09, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

• Was ist das auf Englisch bitte? Chris0693 (talk) 14:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Please create the categories you add to various railstation files, or do not add them. - A.S. 14:49, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Ok, how do I create these categories? Chris0693 (talk) 14:50, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

For the above example, click on the link, add [[Category:Train stations in Rheine]] and save the page. For general instructions, see Commons:Categories. - A.S. 17:28, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Additionally, please keep it in mind about the logical way to categorize. The Category:Train stations in Rheine is already a subcat of Rheine so the latter is NOT to add there, whereas e.g. the Category:Bahnhof Hörstel must be also in Category:Train stations in North Rhine-Westphalia, otherwise we have an incomplete categorization by the topic of the file. - A.S. 19:48, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Same topic again: Please stop these useless edits! You didn't understand creating/using categories. See all the red links, you produced: [1] --Andre de (talk) 13:28, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

File tagging File:East Coast 43305 Doncaster.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:East Coast 43305 Doncaster.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT ([email protected]). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

 

If you're the owner of the image, we just need to do a little verification. Email us at the address above and we'll sort it out. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

UK trains

Hi. FYI all uk train images can be categorised using the {{Ukt}} template. This assigns them to the operator, class, livery and line classes. Read the template page for more information. -mattbuck (Talk) 15:23, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

COM:OVERCAT

Please stop ignoring COM:OVERCAT and creating tiny train station's categories without transfer of relevant categories! I saw that you already have been warned on your talk page, so the next step may be a block of your account. Respect policies of this project! --A.Savin 12:18, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
