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 05:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

- I'm sorry, I don't speak Italian, but I will work on getting someone to translate the bot's messages in the future. The notes my bot left you say that our OTRS team has not received information about the copyright for some images you uploaded. Unless they receive this, the images will be deleted soon. Please send that information to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org as soon as possible. I've translated this using Google to try and help.
- Mi dispiace, non parlo italiano, ma mi adopererò per convincere qualcun per tradurre i messaggi del bot in futuro. Le note il mio bot ha dato a voi dire che il nostro team di OTRS non ha ricevuto informazioni circa i diritti d'autore per alcune immagini che hai caricato. A meno che non ricevono questo, le immagini verranno eliminate al più presto. Si prega di inviare le informazioni per permissions-commons@wikimedia.org il più presto possibile. Ho tradotto usando Google per cercare di aiutare. Hersfold (talk/work) 15:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- As I said, you will need to send this to permissions-commons for verification. I don't work with copyrights here, and don't have these answers for you.
- Come ho detto, sarà necessario inviare questo a permissions-commons per la verifica. Io non lavoro con i diritti d'autore qui, e non si hanno queste risposte per te. Hersfold (talk/work) 15:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
