Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Glmike523!

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.

Re: The Babe.jpg

Hi, I am afraid I do not quite understand what you are trying to say about the statue. The statue is automatically copyrighted because it is a work of art that requires artistic interpretation and skill in its creation. Your photograph of it is a derivative of the copyrighted subject, and thus requires the sculptor's permission to be effectively "free" per Commons requirements. The Deletion Request is for those derivative works of copyrighted subjects; they are not permitted for "free" use by the subjects' copyright holders. Jappalang (talk) 02:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

COM:OVERCAT

Hi, could you please read COM:OVERCAT? If an image like e.g. File:Vienna Street Car.jpg is already in any category that by necessity shows only photos of Austria (in this case, a square in Vienna), and thus is a descendant category of Category:Austria, it should not be categorized into Category:Austria in addition. I've fixed that for a few photos whose description you recently edited. I've also noticed that you seem to have added quite a few redlink categories, including some like Category:Old Streetcar whose value I'd doubt (we have Category:Historical trams) – I haven't done anything about those but in general, you should only add already existing categories unless you intend to create them immediately after adding. darkweasel94 08:46, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

File:Silver Dollar 1794.jpg

I added the image File:Silver Dollar 1794.jpg to Category:Imitation and fantasy coins as it appears to be a copy. It has more mint luster than even the best known 1794 dollar and it has perfect rims, which are virtually non-existent on early US coinage. If I am wrong and it is indeed a genuine 1794 dollar, feel free to remove it from the category. - ZLEA _T\^C 15:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
