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 05:48, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

A proposito di File:Sna compleanno 174.jpg col nome sbagliato
editCiao, ho visto per caso che hai nominato per la cancellazione la foto in oggetto: se ti capita di caricare un'immagine con un nome sbagliato, anziché chiederne la cancellazione, hai due possibilita:
- puoi caricare già da subito nuovamente la foto con il nome file corretto, e poi marcare quella col nome sbagliato con il template {{Duplicate}} seguendo le istruzioni che trovi sul template (strada che personalmente ti consiglio);
- oppure puoi marcare la foto che ha il nome sbagliato con il template {{Rename}} per chiedere che un amministratore ne cambi il nome. Qui probabilmente passa più tempo, però.
Non è invece il caso di chiedere prima la cancellazione per caricare solo dopo la foto col nome corretto, anche perché probabilmente non verrebbe cancellata (un nome file sbagliato non è generalmente considierato un motivo valido per cancellare una foto senza che ci sia già il suo rimpiazzo). --Ianezz (talk) 11:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I have used the {{Rename}} tag and moved this image of yours to File:Isola di Cirella.jpg. Hopefully that is what you meant when you created Commons:Deletion requests/File:Sna compleanno 174.jpg. Let me know if you have any questions. --Captain-tucker (talk) 10:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
