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 05:41, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I think this is great work, but can you re-do it (or make another version) which shows these formed in your signing space, and with the proper orientation? Currently, this gives the viewer the impression that they are signed in no particular location in space, and with incorrect orientations in some cases. Thanks, — Mike.lifeguard 04:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean by "signing space" or "proper orientation." Please clarify. Aschw011 (talk) 12:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
