Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Your uploads referring to Lugano : Categorisation

Hi, please use useful categories and don't over-categorize your images, i.e. please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent mass-uploads):

Category:Suisse + = 'over-categorized'

Category:Ticino + = 'over-categorized'

Category:Tessin + = 'over-categorized'

Category:Lugano + = 'over-categorized'

Category:Chiesa (lugano) + = 'over-categorized' being 'Churches in Lugano' or much more specified

You'll help to save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:

Category:Churches in Lugano or much more specified

Please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village or district (if there's no category) etc., or, a localized better 'fitting' i.e. the 'most fitting"' category(ies). Do not add - in addition - the categories of the "parent category", among them cities, states and countries etc.

For further information on categories please read Commons:Categories referring to an accurate categorisation, simplifying your further uploads and categorisation in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the commons:help desk.

Thank you for your assistance, Roland 23:07, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I've understand the problem. "Over-categorization is what happens when an image is placed in several categories within the same tree." Commons:Categories. Kind regards,--HAL 1967 (talk) 08:28, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
