=== Having separate image categories or not? === | |||
One thing that keeps nagging me is that all Wikipedias I have been able to read and some I can hardly read (English, Swedish + German and French) have separate categories for files/images. There is probably a reason for that (I am guessing at mainly ease of finding images for articles and possibly also for bandwidth reasons). | |||
The upload wizard is borrowed from Wikimedia Commons <small>(but is it properly attributed?)</small> where pretty much all categories are for files/images. While I am not aware of its technical details I see few if any efficient ways it could be modified to only or primarily suggest image categories. As I see it it would require a ''fresh and updated'' list of categories that in one way or another would require some manual intervention. | |||
Two things I have done so far is to re-categorize images and that I have begun trying to link the nodes to the nodes in the branch with the article categories by putting the image categories in the article categories (this is done on a very small scale though). | |||
Questions is though: What is in the best interest of the users? Should I keep on having them separate or should I just let it grow wild(er)? It could be an interesting experiment though it would require a lot of work if it turns out less favourable. | |||
