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) 10:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Dotaz
editNevíš, co je toto: File:Ryba v Tescu.jpg? Vypadá to jako nějaký deformovaný pstruh duhový, ale fakt nevím, jak to popsat. --Dezidor (talk) 11:00, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- Pstruh křížený s kaprem :))) Nevím, vypadá to divně. --Kyknos (talk) 20:06, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
File:Loricaria-eye.png
editHi Kyknos.
Your graphic Loricaria-eye.png looks like it was made with a vector graphic program (hopefully). It would be great to have this graphic as SVG file. If you still have the original vector graphic file it might be possible to export/convert to SVG. --Zapyon (talk) 07:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, yes it was made using Inkscape (or some other Linux editor, I do not remember exactly) in SVG, however I do not know, whether and where I do have the original file. I will upload it if I happen to find it, however it may take some time (or be completely impossible) - I have moved several times since its creation. --Kyknos (talk) 11:05, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
