[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] did a great job starting to categorise all images. The sub-categories are listed under [[:Category:Images]]. Please note when uploading images that it's important to give the file a descriptive name. That'll make it easier for others to find your file and use it in articles.
=== Categorizing images ===
[[User:Johan G|Johan G]] did a great job starting to categorise all images. The sub-categories are listed under [[:Category:Images]].  


A good example comes from Michat who has designed new small logos for [[IAR80|Aircraft of the Month]], [[Dual Control]], [[Bombable]], [[Soaring]],  [[Howto:_Do_aerotow_over_the_net|Aerotow]] and [[:Category:Aerospace|Aerospace]] aircrafts, allowing you to see at a glance which aircraft has some of those interesting features.
Please keep the following things in mind when uploading images:
* Give the file a descriptive name. That'll make it easier for others to find your file and use it in articles.
* Categorize your image right when you upload it. That saves others from digging up uncatigorized images later on. Placing your image in a category is as simple as adding the following line to the "description" field:
: <code><nowiki>[[Category:Name of the category]]</nowiki></code>
: A list of available categories can be found under [[:Category:Images]].
 
=== Documentating templates ===
[[User:Gijs|Gijs]] documentated most [[:Category:Templates|templates]], making use of a global [[Template:Informative template|documentation template]]. The documentation tells you what the template does and how to use it.
 
=== Featurue icons ===
