moved from the village pump

• Hello I am a user from to Wikipedia in spanish. My propose it´s show you that I discovered two days ago.

• The images may to be categorized, and then it´s more easy for users to find the image what they need for those article. In "enWikip" you have 11360 images, and so it´s very difficult to find one image for to put in one article. If you will be categorize all images, for theme (topic), then to search the image it´s easy.

• How?: In the page of the image you must edit and to put the [[Category: Topic (image)]] where "Topic" it´s the category like it to have in the articles, but adding the suffix (images) (witn a space between). So in all images. Each images accept several categories, it´s very "recomendable" what not only edit one category, but also all categories which the images "in".

• The categories so creates, they must categorized in the three o subcategorized, where the category master it´s : [[Category:Images]] . This category, and the rest of subcategories, appear in the page of categories but, they difference from categories of articles, in the suffix (images) .

• I have create the category images and i have introduced one image for to show you like this to do. You can to see Category:Images for details.. in the Spanish Wikipedia, y have categorized around 80 images and you can to see there, if here you don´t understand the "how" : http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Im%E1genes
