Tip: Categorizing images edit
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.BotMultichillT 05:50, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't over-categorize edit
Please don't over-categorize your images. For instance in your File:Hydrangea heteromalla fleurs4.jpg Category:Hydrangea heteromalla is correct and Category:Hydrangea is over-categorized as this is parent category of Category:Hydrangea heteromalla. For further information please read Commons:Categories and particularly paragraph Over-categorization. -- Ies (talk) 19:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
