Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Haus!

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.

File:View-from-tanker-bridge.JPG

Hello Haus! Do you know the name of the ship and could it add to the image description? This would make the image more useful. Thanks! --Matt314 (talk) 19:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing. It's en:SS Fredericksburg (1958). Haus (talk) 20:34, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! --Matt314 (talk) 19:26, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Details of container ship

You have made a lot of pictures of details of (a) ship(s). Is it possible to tell from which ship(s)? Container ship bow, people at work, winches and so on. I grouped images in Category:SS Fredericksburg (1958) Is it correct? --Stunteltje (talk) 07:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC):

Yes, those are all the Fredericksburg. There are some others that are of en:MV Capt. Steven L. Bennett (T-AK-4296). Haus (talk) 10:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

• The point of that image was to make the sequence at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_carrier#Loading_and_unloading format properly with all images the same size. It appears that the same image sequence has been used on 11 other language wikis. If there's a way to do this without keeping both pictures, then that's fine. I'm not aware of it, though.
