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) 10:37, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Kategorisierung der Erinnerungszeichen edit
Hallo Andreas, du kategorisierst deine Bilder zu Erinnerungszeichen falschː Z.B.ː 'Erinnerungszeichen Flora Wilmersdörfer 01.jpg'. Hier wird nur die Kategorie 'Erinnerungszeichen Haimhauserstraße 1, München' benötigt. 'Monuments and memorials', 'Monuments and memorials to victims of National Socialism in Germany' und 'Monuments and memorials to victims of National Socialism in Bavaria' sind darin enthalten. Bitte unbedingt beachten, sonst gibt es ein Chaos. Danke aber für deine Arbeit bei den Erinnerungszeichen. Grüße --Rufus46 (talk) 13:57, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hallo Rufus46, danke für den Hinweis. Werde ich gerne berücksichtigen. Gruß Andreas Schikora (talk) 14:17, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, please add team categories to player categories, not single images. Thanks. Adeletron 3030 (talk) 14:50, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
