Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Great maps

Can they be saved as svg images so that we do not get the aliasing in diagonal lines?

Sorry, I don't know how to do this... --Doktorpixel14 (talk) 10:52, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Category:Ehemals Markgräfliches Forsthaus (Gernsbach)

Hallo, du hast die Kategorie angelegt und Bilder der Hauptstraße 13 in Gernsbach eingefügt. Das Haus ist mir allerdings nicht unter dieser Bezeichnung bekannt, und auch das Baujahr 1744 passt nicht. In der Denkmalliste steht zur Hauptstr. 13 folgendes: "Früheres Domstift Speyerisches Amtshaus und Schaffnerei, jetzt Wohnhaus und Café, dreigeschossig, Erdgeschoss massiv, 15. Jahrhundert, Obergeschosse Fachwerk (freigelegt), Ende 18. Jahrhundert". Woher hast du deine Daten? Ich würde die Kategorie einfach "Hauptstraße 13 (Gernsbach)" nennen. Gruß, Sitacuisses (talk) 22:57, 17 February 2024 (UTC) Habe jetzt gesehen, dass am Haus eine Tafel mit diesen Angaben hängt. Die zeigt aber nur einen Ausschnitt der ganzen Geschichte, Teile des Hauses sind weit älter. Und das Forstamt war dort laut der Tafel nur 20 Jahre lang.
Ähnlich bei Category:Haus Beck (Gernsbach). Der Name mag dran stehen, bekannter ist es jedoch als Haus Hennenhofer. Ich würde die Kategorie auf "Amtsstraße 1 (Gernsbach)" verschieben. --Sitacuisses (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Hallo, ich habe recht wenig Hintergrundwissen zu den Hausnamen in Gernsbach und habe die Kategorien danach benannt, was an den Häusern dran steht. An der Hauptstr. 13 befindet sich wirklich eine Infotafel, auf der steht "Erbaut 1744" und "Ehemals Markgräfliches Forsthaus". Möglicherweise befand sich das dann einst hier und wurde abgerissen. Wenn es auch mehrere Bezeichnungen für das Haus Beck gibt, dann macht es wohl wirklich Sinn, die Kategorie nach der Adresse zu benennnen.

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Flacken 3 (Nordrach). ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).
