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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- Image:Petit rorqual rdl.jpg was uncategorized on 15 August 2011 CategorizationBot (talk) 11:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Don't over-categorize, please! edit
Please don't over-categorize your images. For instance your File:Fanons rorqualbleu.jpg is VERY over-categorized. Please avoid more mistakes like this and study Commons:Categories before you upload more images. -- Ies (talk) 17:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Poussiere Port de Quebec01.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 (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). 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. |

- Un courriel de permission de la part de l'auteur de la photo a été envoyé le 12 décembre 2016 à permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. J'ai renvoyé à l'instant une copie du courriel à permissions-fr@wikimedia.org

- Merci de cette information. Sur la foi de celle-ci, j'ai inséré le modèle «OTRS pending» dans la page de description de l'image, tel que recommandé en pareil cas. Le traitement des courriels de permission par OTRS peut prendre environ un mois, mais compte tenu que le courriel a été envoyé depuis plus d'un an, on peut s'inquiéter qu'il n'y ait pas encore eu de confirmation par l'équipe OTRS. Il serait peut-être utile de s'informer pour savoir s'il y a eu un problème, en posant la question sur la page Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard et en mentionnant, si vous le connaissez, le numéro de ticket de l'avis de réception reçu par l'auteur. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
