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) 10:38, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

- Please check the youtube link, it is CC licensed. And the image is not a screencap. Please check the resolution of the image. Achayan (talk) 23:24, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- If you wish to contest the deletion then there is a process for that. If you wish to remove tags out of process then we will follow the process without you. Elizium23 (talk) 23:26, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hey, I have to apologize, and @Pbritti noticed this too. I have become too accustomed to disruption, copyright infringement, and sock puppetry in this topic area, and I failed to notice that you are a good-faith contributor for about 13 years now. Please accept my apology, and I was hasty in that tagging, and you are correct about the licensing of the YouTube video indeed. Elizium23 (talk) 23:37, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- No worries. Thank you so much for understanding. And I apologize for removing the tag without following the procedure. Please let me know if anything is to be done from my side with regard to the copyright of this image. Thanks. Achayan (talk) 23:45, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Funny, I was writing a message to Achayan's good-faith effort here when I got the ping. If anyone needs anything or something goes wrong because of the automated systems that were set in motion, please feel welcome to ping me and I'll gladly help out. Thanks to both of you for being cordial in dealing with this little mistake; I know how often self-promo and sockpuppetry becomes an issue in this subject matter. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:48, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
