FFGo screenshots category

I have created a category, Category:FFGo screenshots, for screenshots of the FFGo FlightGear front-end.

I am not fully sure, but I think you will find it when you start typing "FFGo" in the category field when you upload more screenshots.

Hello Johan G,
Thank you for making this a bit tidier. I'll use the new category in the future. I would also be willing to remove obsolete screenshots (for instance, http://wiki.flightgear.org/File:Tools-menu.png has been superseded by http://wiki.flightgear.org/File:Tools-menu_1.9.0.png), but I am not sure it is feasible because of the wiki history. And I now realize (with these URLs) that the file names don't belong to any particular namespace inside the FG wiki, therefore I suppose I should prefix them with FFGo_ or something like that next time...

The older files may make sense if someone uses an older version. Also, at some point in the future (or even now) it might be interesting to look back at how things looked a couple of years back.
More descriptive file names is never wrong. ;-)

Historians... I doubt someone is going to dig through wiki history just for that, but anyway. If uploading too many images is a problem one day (not what you said), I expect some wiki admin to tell me so we can discuss how to handle that. Concerning the other point, yes, I'll prepend FFGo_ or even FFGo_<version>_ to file names in future uploads. It's a bit cumbersome of course, but I really don't like the unqualified names in the global wiki context.
Thanks.

Tip: User subpages

I noted that you use your userpage a bit like a draft for something you are working on. It is entirely ok, but if you want to have several drafts going on at once you could add them as subpages to your user page.

To add a subpage to your user page, add a wikilink to your userpage with a slash and the title of the subpage like this, [[User:Rominet/Article title]], then click on the red link to start editing the new subpage.

When you are ready to make the page available, move it to the main article namespace. (Though keep in mind that perfection is the enemy of productivity. ;-)
