Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Waggers!

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.

Code issues in User:Waggers/degrandparent.js

Hi Waggers, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

1. You edited User:Waggers/degrandparent.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
2. Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Southampton church image

I've refined the details of both File:All Saints Church, Southampton, 1852.jpg and the cropped version File:All Saints Church, Southampton, 1852, cropped.jpg because this is not your own work, you need to provide the proper source details plus the correct date of the image and you cannot give a more restrictive licence then the original has, etc. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 11:22, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Many thanks, Ww2censor, I will endeavour to use the Extract templates and correct licencing for cropped images in future. Waggers (talk) 12:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

No problem at all. They were easy to fix as you had previously given the original source on the copyright questions page so I remembered that. It's all just more accurate and allows for easier licence reviews in the future is anyone questions anything. Cheers. Ww2censor (talk) 13:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Can we take this script DGP out of commons?

I felt this script would be useful on other projects too, but I don't know how to take it outside? like on mrwiki or enwiki? how I can use this script? QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 16:37, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks user:QueerEcofeminist, I'm really pleased you find it useful. I'll explore some ways of making it available to other wikis. It would be fairly easy to copy it across, but there might be a more elegant way to enable all wikis to reference the same source code instead of having a separate copy on each project. Waggers (talk) 11:52, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I was just curious about the script, did you get time to look for the possibilities? thanks and regards QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 17:53, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
