Specific categories

Hello OJjnr (talk · contribs). I noticed that you posted pictures of a church wedding ceremony in Ghana. It's very appreciated. This allows to contribute to the project. Only thing, for a better participation in the project, it would be important to read the policy Commons:Categories#Over-categorization please. In summary, when you post photos, it is important to be specific in the categories. So for photos of the same event (ex: “Christian Wedding in Tamale in 2021”), a specific category would be “Category:Christian Wedding in Tamale in 2021”. This specific category will be classified in a common category (Marriage in Ghana). As Commons:Categories#Why_over-categorization_is_a_problem explains, this avoids this problem: “The result (of over-categorization) is that the top category fills up, making it necessary to go through hundreds, or in this case more likely thousands of images to find the one you want”. Finally, the same photo subjects come back 12 times, sometimes with a different name or a slight difference (ex: photo frame 1 cm smaller). To avoid overloading the database, it is recommended to take the best of 12 photos of the same subject. See Commons:Deletion_policy#Not_educationally_useful and Commons:Deletion_policy#Duplicates. For this time, I changed the categories of the 250 photos of the subject (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Christian_Wedding_in_Tamale_in_2021) and the 199 photos of the subject (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Christian_Wedding_ceremony_in_Tamale_in_2021). It would be very appreciated if you could help us by creating a specific category for photos of the same subject next time, please. Thanks for your help. --Nathan B2 (talk) 20:42, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will put much effort into categorizing. OJjnr (talk) 11:28, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
