Hello, Coquinar!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

- I've been trying to add categories to these, and generally succeeding. Please, do take a look at what I've done on these. & please do familiarize yourself a bit with the category hierarchy: it's pretty tedious going around behind someone else fixing these. - Jmabel ! talk 17:05, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

- - Please stop adding or re-adding re-adding over-general categories (such as Category:Architecture here), redundant categories (ones that are supercategories of those already on the image) or French-language categories (the category hierarchy is maintained in English). In this case, Category:Vieux-Montréal raises both of the last issues: the category is Category:Old Montreal, but it is a supercategory of Category:Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica. - Jmabel ! talk 19:38, 2 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Concernant les catégories

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Salut, je vous parle concernant les catégories que vous avez ajouté recemment à plusieurs images comme File:BasND.JPG. Ordinairement, nous ne mettrons pas les images dans une catégorie et aussi une sous-catégorie de cette catégorie, parce que c'est superflu. Aussi, nous préfèrons à mettre les images seulement dans les catégories comme précis comme possible, pas les catégories très genérale comme "Architecture". Finalement, les noms des catégories sur Commons sont ecrit seulement en anglais; vous pouvez créer un catégorie-redirect avec {{catredirect}} pour dévier une catégorie avec un nom francais vers la même catégorie en anglais. Si vous avez des questions, demandez-les-moi à User talk:Dcoetzee. Merci! Dcoetzee (talk) 03:47, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
