Första stegen De första stegen och vår FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) är till hjälp efter registrering. De förklarar hur man gör inställningar (till exempel ändrar språk), hur man laddar upp filer och ger grundläggande information om licensiering. Du behöver inga tekniska färdigheter för att bidra. Var djärv och utgå från att andra menar väl, precis som på Wikipedia. Få hjälp Ytterligare hjälp finns på Community Portal. Allmänna frågor kan ställas på Help desk, eller på Bybrunnen, eller på IRC (chat) #wikimedia-commons. Du kan även kontakta en administratör på deras personliga diskussionssida. För specifika frågor om licens, fråga på Commons talk:Licensing.		Tips och tricks Använd Babel-lådor på din användarsida för att meddela andra om vilka språk du talar Se ett galleri över alla dina uppladdade bilder med Användargalleriet Använd CommonSense för att hitta kategorier för dina filer (så att andra kan hitta dem också!) För att länka till en bildsida, sätt ett kolon framför bildnamnet, så här [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], så ser det ut så här Image:Foo.jpg Om du kopierar över bilder från Wikipedia-projekt, använd en CommonsHelper Har du gjort ett misstag? Vill du döpa om en bild? Ladda då upp den på nytt med det nya namnet och märk den gamla filen så här:{{bad name|nytt namn}} För ytterligare information, läs Deletion guidelines

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, LPfi!

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:Förbindelsetrafik Väståboland 2009.jpg was uncategorized on 9 October 2009.

Weird: I remember having looked up the exact wording of the category names. Added them now. --LPfi (talk) 19:10, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

There is a problem with the user interface: when the image isn't uploaded soon enough one has to try once more – but some of the information given in the upload form is lost. Among the lost information is the license and the second form does not give the same options as the first one. cc-by-sa 3.0 has to be added by hand and so you have to remember or check the template syntax. Quite irritating. --LPfi (talk) 21:10, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

File renaming

Hi, this is worded in way that seems discourage editing and updating files. It almost sounds like files should never change. That's very unwiki-like and not the common practice. Most things like graphs and diagrams that are updated fairly often (monthly, for example), should use the same name if it's simply an update. We don't want a bunch of outdated useless files laying around, right? This is why, in my experience, it's a bad idea to include things like dates. Of course, you're free to do that if you want, but it definitely should not be policy. Rocket000 (talk) 20:29, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

We should probably be clearer about what files we are talking about. Have you read the section Overwriting or a new name? on the discussion page?

Some graphs and maps should reflect the current situation and those could be overwritten continuously. But if the changes are infrequent then the old files may have historical interest. The one who wants to use them have to reupload the old version on a new name to be able to use it. If redirects work nowadays, as I have understood they do, it might be better to use a redirect for the current version instead. This was what folks thought last year.

It depends on the file, of course. When old versions are not supposed to be used a name without version or date is easier to handle. But this is not always the case. And when there are any issues about what the best or correct version is, it is better to give neutral, disambiguated names.

I can accept your statement "adding controversial things doesn't help form a policy, but removing them is the start of gaining acceptance, we need to agree on the basics first", so I won't put this back for the moment. I think, though, that including some reasoning about this point would be good.

Finsk upphovsrätt

Hejsan!

På sv:Wikisource har vi principen sedan gammalt att texter ska vara fria i de svenskspråkiga länderna Sverige och Finland samt i serverlandet USA. Men jag har inte sett någon ha synpunkter på vilka regler som gäller specifikt Finland. Detta kanske för att vi inte har några finlandskunniga bidragsgivare som i tillräcklig grad engagerat sig i meta-frågor.

Om du har tid (och lust) kan du väl skriva några rader på s:sv:Wikisourcediskussion:Mallar för upphovsrätt så får vi se om vi kan komplettera de mallar vi har. Om reglerna i de båda länderna skiljer, får vi kanske ta en principdiskussion om vilka villkor som gäller: Frihet i publiceringslandet eller Frihet i båda länderna, för den skillnaden tror jag ingen har tänkt på. (Sedan har vi ngn text som publicerats i tredje land, men inget system är perfekt.) Någon diskussion om bilders rättigheter behöver vi nog inte, för det hänvisar vi ju nästan alltid hit... -- Lavallen (talk) 12:54, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope

---

Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote. If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. Otherwise, consider an alternative outlet. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

Please explain what contribution you think isn't in scope. I think I now the scope quite well. --LPfi (talk) 18:20, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Cheesus, det här systemet med att slänga upp mallar på varandras disksidor är ju rena snurren på det här projektet.... -- Lavallen (talk) 18:34, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Min reaktion också! Hoppeligen var det bara ett misstag den här gången (fast robotmallarna om saknade kategorier blir ju en nätt samling de också, oftast handlar de om att jag arbetat med beskrivningen så länge att servern tröttnat). --LPfi (talk) 18:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
