Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Kalamazadkhan!

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.

• Image:Ali's Doubles Harris Street.JPG was uncategorized on 21 August 2009.

Please take a look at:

Please take a look at File:Curry Duck from Trinidad and Tobago.JPG which is categorised under Category:Cuisine by country. It seems to be an image of a Marcus Garvey, not of "curry duck". Also, please don't categorise images under "Category:Cuisine by country" but under the country cuisine itself, such as Category:Cuisine of Trinidad and Tobago. As the image File:Divali meal.JPG does not carry any information about 'where it was made, I can't recategorise it in to the correct category. Please do so yourself. - Takeaway (talk) 10:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Over-categorisation

Please carefully read COM:OVERCAT. For instance, if you put a file into Category:Doubles (food), you shouldn't also put it into Category:Street food in Trinidad and Tobago because it will be considered over-categorisation due to the fact that the category for doubles is itself already placed into the streetfood category. Thank you. - Takeaway (talk) 08:13, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you again for all the images of Trinidad and Tobago but please read COM:OVERCAT. If a file is already in a correct subcategory (or subcategories) of Category:Caribbean, it should NOT be also put into Category:Caribbean. For instance, your upload File:Manzanilla Bay, Trinidad - The effects of coastal erosion and flooding.jpg is already in Category:Beaches of Trinidad and Tobago, which is a subcategory of Category:Beaches of the Caribbean, which in turn is a subcategory of Category:Geography of the Caribbean, which itself is a subcategory of Category:Caribbean. COM:OVERCAT states that this file should ONLY be placed into Category:Beaches of Trinidad and Tobago, and NOT into Category:Caribbean. I have removed those files in the meantime. - Takeaway (talk) 22:41, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Buljol

Moin Kalamazadkhan, how's d scene? ;-)
Do you think you could organize a photo of Buljol for Wikipedia? Not sure if there's food stalls that have it listed, but maybe you know someone who'd prepare it and you could take a photo...? It'S one of the few Trini dishes that don't ahve a photo yet.
Thanks a lot and kind regards, Grueslayer (talk) 20:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the picture, Kalamazadkhan! It's already in the English and German Buljol articles. :) Kind regards, Grueslayer (talk) 06:48, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Breadfruit Oil-Down

Moin Kalamazadkhan,
another request! :) I've just finished an article on breadfruit oil-down in the German Wikipedia. Once again, no photo available on Commons. :( Do you see the chance to take one?
