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 05:54, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Nomen.jpg edit
Hello Gixie, why you are thinking, this (Nomen.jpg) is not a door? --Diwas (talk) 15:52, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
dear Diwas
The category is very crowded, and the File: Nomen.JPG is only written on the door but I can't see the door. i think the category: doors isn't the appropiate.
if it is a problem you can restore. for me no problem--gixie (talk) 16:24, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
how about creating a category, written on the doors--gixie (talk) 16:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Category:Written doors is ready--gixie (talk) 17:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- "Written doors" makes little or no sense, I'll be moving this to "Doors with writing". - Jmabel ! talk 19:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- Only for the history category written doors is delete and category:doors with writing is ready--gixie (talk) 11:31, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
