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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:35, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Autopatrol given
[edit]
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Rockets and payload categories
[edit]Hello. Please don't set payloads as parent categories of rockets/flights, as you did here. Payloads are a component of the flight, so they are subcategories. Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 14:09, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, you are right! 4throck (talk) 17:06, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
[edit]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. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel ! talk 01:34, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Again, please, this came up for Category:NOAA-1, etc. When you just blank the page, yes, it will probably get taken care of, but it will be handled by someone who is trying to work on a different sort of issue. If you use {{SD}}, it gets handled by someone who actually intends to be working on speedy deletions, and will be much happier to have this land in their queue. - Jmabel ! talk 05:21, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- And again for Category:Explorer-34 (IMP-F). - Jmabel ! talk 19:13, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
