== Screenshots and categorization == | |||
Since you upload a lot of screenshots and I am a bit of a nitpick when it comes to organizing the screenshots I think I might be helped by asking you to first read the text below and then skim through [[Help:Categories]] and [[FlightGear wiki:FlightGear screenshot categories]]. | |||
You are using good file names and image descriptions, which is pretty much essential for the search feature to be useful. | |||
Ideally you should only use one or maybe a few categories, and screenshot categories. Apart from that you use meaningful categories which really helps browsing the categories for meaningful screenshots. | |||
Using a lot of categories for each screenshot will put a lot of screenshots in each category. This will make it harder to find good image for a certain purpose. To illustrate this there is still about 500 images left in <span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Special:UncategorizedFiles&limit=1000&offset=0 Special:UncategorizedFiles]</span>. Before I started trying to separate the images of the wiki into categories with images the very most of them was there. Say 95% or at the time about 3000 if I recall correctly. A lot of them did not really have useful file names either, so finding a specific type of image was a lot of work. I messed up and initially only separated them into aircraft, scenery, etc, which still shows in for example [[:Category:Aircraft]] (currently nearly 400 images). Unfortunately since the upload wizard was added new screenshots are automatically categorized per content license, so probably thousands images are still rather hidden if they are not used on a wiki page. | |||
Apart from my nitpicking about categories, go on. You are doing great! | |||
