I then would create a category, e.g. <a href="/wiki/Category:Isamu_Noguchi" title="Category:Isamu Noguchi">Category:Isamu Noguchi</a> for all things related to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isamu_Noguchi" class="extiw" title="w:Isamu Noguchi">w:Isamu Noguchi</a>, and add this to parent categories and so on. You can also add it to the catchall <a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:Other&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Other (page does not exist)">Category:Other</a>, which hopefully will be sorted into proper categories eventually. Also, please note that the whole approach is still under discussion. Should images be added to a separate page about a topic (i.e. <a href="/wiki/Michelangelo" title="Michelangelo">Michelangelo</a>) or in a category (i.e. <a href="/wiki/Category:Isamu_Noguchi" title="Category:Isamu Noguchi">Category:Isamu Noguchi</a>)? For the latter one, the upcoming version of MediaWiki will automatically display the images in categories as thumbnails.

In this edit box you add one or more other categories, i.e. [[Category:World Heritage]]. Repeat for all red links. Blue links are existing categories and need no further editing.

I am not sure how much discussion went into this system on the english wiki, but I can live with it either way. Three suggestions: (1) A category can exist even without articles/images as long as the cat has a subcat. (2) In case of doubt, keep a category or category link. (3) If possible have the same system on the english wiki as on the commons. Any work on the category system is very welcome. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Chris_73" title="User:Chris 73">Chris 73</a> 23:55, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC) <dl><dd>At first: in my opinion the categories are an instrument to help the user to find an image. In contrary to a wiki based on articles in an image-wiki the search facility is not very useful, but categorization is a chance. But by using a category scheme for searching it is necessary to keep it as simple as possible. <ul><li>at 1: full ack</li> <li>at 2: don't know, what you mean</li> <li>at 3: if the structure is useful for image categorization, why not - but I had no look at the en-scheme yet. But we should also keep in mind that there are more wikis than en, and most likely with different structures in each. If the scheme is to finegrained, the result will be lots of small or even empty cats - not very useful for searching. The main principle should be: what images will we get most likely, and offer a plausible scheme - as simple as possible. If we realize later, that more subcats are needed, it's no problem to create them when needed.</li></ul></dd></dl></dd> <dd>At last, the scheme should be available as a tree structure to get a quick overview - maybe located on the talk pages for the categories. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Srbauer" title="User:Srbauer">Srbauer</a> 09:37, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl> <dl><dd>I agree with Srbauer here (and disagree with Chris), the function of a Category system is to have people who are looking for an image of something get to it as easy (and fast) as possible. This is much better done by his proposed scheme than by the one added already. I see no advantage in following the system on the English Wikipedia. The first and foremost goal should be to have a clear and simple system. - <a href="/wiki/User:Andre_Engels" title="User:Andre Engels">Andre Engels</a> 23:21, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) <dl><dd>Dont get me wrong.

They are much easier to handle.

Now there is only the filename which is neither very descriptive nor every time in english. Though there can be a lot of information stored in the category tree, not everything is sensible to be stored there. There has to be some "atomic" information for each image preview.

Should we cross fingers and hope for the next software version - or should we try to make the best of the existing features? </p><p>In my opinion the best would be using the possiblities of categorization to get an overview of the topics - and using the gallery feature (in gallery articles) for grouping images and providing essential information. </p><p>At last don't forget people with low bandwidth internet access - they may want a feature to disable image preview in categories to get an faster overview. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Srbauer" title="User:Srbauer">Srbauer</a> 18:00, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Redirects to categories are useful, as if we categorize all images instead of adding them to articles, It'd be useful, for example (especially for searches) to make <a href="/wiki/Cat" class="mw-redirect" title="Cat">Cat</a> (and other language equivalents) redirect to <a href="/wiki/Category:Cat" class="mw-disambig" title="Category:Cat">Category:Cat</a>. <a href="/wiki/User:Ausir" title="User:Ausir">Ausir</a> 23:34, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Upload_log_and_deletion_log" data-mw-thread-id="h-Upload_log_and_deletion_log"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Upload_log_and_deletion_log"></span>Upload log and deletion log<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Upload_log_and_deletion_log"></span></h2></div> <p>Hi!

However, isn't there any guideline on replacing image links in wikipedia articles before deleting the linked images? The image may or may not have been redundant (and I think not), but at least as long as it was linked from articles it served a purpose.

For instance, why not use <a href="/wiki/Category:Tibet" title="Category:Tibet">Category:Tibet</a> instead of <a href="/wiki/Tibet" class="mw-redirect" title="Tibet">Tibet</a>? I think it's a great idea. (Though it would be better if the software were altered to make this less clumsy, in my opinion. This could be done by placing the lists of subcategories and articles <i>below</i> the images, and making all <a href="/wiki/Tibet" class="mw-redirect" title="Tibet">Tibet</a> links go to <a href="/wiki/Category:Tibet" title="Category:Tibet">Category:Tibet</a>, etc.) <a href="/wiki/User:Quadell" title="User:Quadell"></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:user:Quadell" class="extiw" title="w:en:user:Quadell">Quadell</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:User_talk:Quadell" class="extiw" title="w:en:User talk:Quadell">(talk)</a> 23:36, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Yes, also in my opinion Commons would get a better structure based on pictures galleries in categories.

I would suggest to simply treat every page as a category - or, to put the same thing differently, to drop the categories from the "Category:" to the main namespace. Think about it this way: if you but [[category:Foo]] in the article "Bar", "Bar" would be shown at the Bottom of page "Foo". Structured content would be at the top as needed, an unstructured list would be at the bottom. One could use those pages just as "normal" pages now, or as categories, or as a combination, as seems fit in a particular case. Also, finding the gallery would be much easier for people from the wikis, because the "normal" page would not obstruct the view at the category when doing a simple search.

Does it sound crazy to think that maybe the software would be developped so as to accept "interwikis" categories.

This brought some problems to my attention, concerning the current practice of providing wikipedia-dumps for downloading. Please keep in mind that each project offers two files, a database-dump and an image-bundle, separately. So here goes: </p> <ul><li>The image-bundles of the wikipedias do not contain images from the commons. Thus, one has to download the image-bundle from the commons too, to have all images. That would include a lot of images that are not even used by the wikipedia. So it would be good to include the commons-images used be a specific wikipedia in the image-bundle of that wikipedia.</li> <li>But: the copyright-information for the images from the commons is (usually) not in the wikipedia, but on the description page here on the commons. Thus, providing those images without the respective dump from the commons violates the GFDL.</li> <li>Also: the image-bundle is available for download as a separate file. The copyright-information for each image is not included in that file. This violates the GNU-FDL, no matter if the images are from the commons or not.</li></ul> <dl><dd>But we can argue that the same problem applies to the cur database dump as it doesn't contain the list of authors. <a href="/wiki/User:Greatpatton" title="User:Greatpatton">Greatpatton</a> 11:05, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl> <p>The only workaround to this would be to put a copy of the image on every wikipedia that uses it. That ist a lot of useless work, makes it hard to delete and replace images, etc. It basically contradicts the very reason the commons have been created in the first place. </p><p>So, what do you think? What can and should be done about this? -- <a href="/wiki/User:Duesentrieb" title="User:Duesentrieb">Duesentrieb</a> 01:35, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>I already wrote a script for extracting those Commons images used by a particular wiki; dumps are currently available for English and French, and more can be created on request.

It would be perfect if you could extend the script some more and advertise its use on the different projects - maybe post to the wikitech mailing list? Please forgive me when i shamelessly list a few features i'd like to have in that script: </p> <ul><li>allow to just create a list of commons-images used by a specific wiki. Even more importantly, allow it to create a list of images present on a specific wiki <i>and</i> the commons, so redundant images can be found and, in time, removed.</li> <li>extract the image description pages for all images, local and from commons, to be included in the image-bundle. To offer the image-bundles without the description pages is IMHO a violation of the GFDL, and always has been. If you script could fix that, that would be excelent.</li> <li>Please publish your script prominently and advertise its use. Please talk to the folks that create the dumps of the individual projects (i have no idea who does this). It would IMHO be a good idea to make this the standard way to create dumps. A good place to start would be wikitech-l, as i said; also, writing something about this on <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="meta:">meta:</a> would probably be a good idea.</li></ul> <p>many thanks, no matter if you implement the stuff i want or not.

I say let us have a (desperately needed) discussion and vote on <a href="/wiki/Commons:Language_policy" title="Commons:Language policy">Commons:Language policy</a> and agree on something suitable for everyone first, ask for redirects for categories to be able to do with categories as we do for articles (ie. redirect from one language to the other) in the meantime and then try and make a constructed proposal as to what we need for developments (with, for example, the possibility of "tagging" categories in as many languages as we see fit -- as proposed above by <a href="/wiki/User:Duesentrieb" title="User:Duesentrieb">Duesentrieb</a>). <a href="/wiki/User:Notafish" title="User:Notafish">notafish</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Notafish" title="User talk:Notafish">}<';></a> 23:45, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>What are category redirects?

The solution is to uses aliases (elaborate redirects), as I described above. Only the person that creates the alias needs to know the translation for the category name. So, placing <a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:Schiff&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Schiff (page does not exist)">Category:Schiff</a> and <a href="/wiki/Category:Bateau" title="Category:Bateau">Category:Bateau</a> in a category would have the smae effect. Looking at the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:Schiff&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Schiff (page does not exist)">Category:Schiff</a> and <a href="/wiki/Category:Bateau" title="Category:Bateau">Category:Bateau</a> would show the same entries, but the category would have a different title and different herader-text. </p><p>b) translate the labels for the individual items that show in the category. The solution is to allow localized labels in the links that place an item in a category. As by suggestion a), the person placing the link need to know only one of the aliases of the category, but can optionally give multiple translations for the name of the page that it places in the category. So, the make a page show under a localized name in categories, translations would have to be added to the category-links on that page. This is similar to the ability to place redirects <b>in</b> (not to) a category, as is sometimes used to get a similar effect, but this does not work very well. </p><p>I hope this makes it a little clearer. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Duesentrieb" title="User:Duesentrieb">Duesentrieb</a> 09:54, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Language_policy" data-mw-thread-id="h-Language_policy"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Language_policy"></span><a href="/wiki/Commons:Language_policy" title="Commons:Language policy">Language policy</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Language_policy"></span></h2></div> <p>And, to start a discussion, I have tried to summarize and organize the page <a href="/wiki/Commons:Language_policy" title="Commons:Language policy">Commons:Language policy</a> with what has been proposed/done until now.

So, when you add an image to an article that you have uploaded to the commons, it first looks locally before checking the commons. SO, if a vandal wanted to piss a lot of people off, all they'd have to do is go through articles at random adding images local that are being pulled from them commons. I think this is a pretty huge whole. Are there any solutions to this problem? maybe protecting the local empty page before someone can change it? <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Mbecker&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Mbecker (page does not exist)">Mbecker</a> 04:47, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>I'm not sure what the problem is. If the image is local, they could also upload another image on top of it. Also, protecting the page will not stop them from uploading another image, it will only stop them from changing the image description. Finally, there is no 'empty page' to protect, since there is _no page_ rather than an empty one. Thus, one would have to create the page first, add the information by hand that is now added automatically, before one could protect. In other words: <ul><li>The exploit has existed ever since we had images</li> <li>Your proposal does not stop it</li> <li>Your proposal is more work than you think it is.</li></ul></dd> <dd>- <a href="/wiki/User:Andre_Engels" title="User:Andre Engels">Andre Engels</a> 08:13, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl> <p>Alright, maybe I was unclear or two general. The way the commons mechanism for adding media to a wikipedia works is as follows: </p> <ol><li>You upload the media here.</li> <li>You link to the media on your wikipedia like it existed locally.</li> <li>The local wikipedia first looks for an image locally, then if it doesn't exist it looks on the commons.</li></ol> <p>It is the third part here that worries me. For instance. I uploaded some images that I want to be used on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoris" class="extiw" title="w:Clitoris">w:Clitoris</a>. If someone wanted to be nasty, they could simply upload a file locally, which would bypass the commons image. I guess you are right, someone could have uploaded OVER a local image even before, so this is not a new security hole. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Mbecker&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Mbecker (page does not exist)">Mbecker</a> 16:25, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>read <a href="http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/SoftSecurity" class="extiw" title="meatball:SoftSecurity">meatball:SoftSecurity</a>. The way a wiki works is that we fight issues of vandalism etc AS THEY BECOME A PROBLEM and we keep history for easy reversion. IIRC if a page in the image namespace is protected you can't upload a new image with that name (i may be wrong though). For normal images this sort of thing is no more of a problem than article vandalism and isn't really anything new.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>If someone does use the techinque of local uploading to vandalise an image i would reccomend doing a local upload on the wiki in question as a temporary fix and then listing it on that wikis images for deletion page with a message like "copy from commons uploaded over vandalism image please delete". <a href="/wiki/User:Plugwash" title="User:Plugwash">Plugwash</a> 00:28, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Really_unused" data-mw-thread-id="h-Really_unused"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Really_unused"></span>Really unused<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Really_unused"></span></h2></div> <p>On <a href="/wiki/Commons:Really_unused" title="Commons:Really unused">Commons:Really unused</a>, I have made a list of files that are on <a href="/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles" title="Special:UnusedFiles">Special:Unusedimages</a> <b>and</b> have do not have a category other than the licensing ones. The list has been made using the bot, which checks only the page source of the image, so there can be some errors - files which have other categories through templates are included, files which have licensing categories or such by hand, are not. Still, I think the list will be useful in helping us to get all our images 'used' somewhere. - <a href="/wiki/User:Andre_Engels" title="User:Andre Engels">Andre Engels</a> 08:13, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Yay!

Should there be two options offered? </p><p>Namely, (1) uploading without any request for archival status, thus allowing anyone to remove the image for any reason, no questions asked, and (2) uploading with a request for archival status (i.e. permanence as long as wiki exists), but with the understanding that the Wiki Foundation can accept or refuse according to its perceived moral or legal responsibilities. </p><p>This might also offer a way to deal with the censorship issue. </p><p>(Query from the Research Cooperative) </p> <dl><dd>The commons aims to be a repositry of free images primerally for wikimedia projects but to a lesser extent for everyone. There wouldn't be much point in a repositry if it wasn't permanent. Images can be replaced by anyone but the old versions remain availible unless specifically removed by an admin. Images which don't follow the rules (which of course may be subject to change) will almost certianly be deleted sooner or later. The commons is NOT a free image host service for your website. If direct inclusion of files becomes a bandwidth problem it may be nessacery to start applying refferer restrictions. The commons is also NOT safe storage for your files if you wan't that then you should use an appropriate service. <a href="/wiki/User:Plugwash" title="User:Plugwash">Plugwash</a> 14:27, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)</dd></dl>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1&useformat=desktop" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2004/12&oldid=47659885">https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2004/12&oldid=47659885</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <nav id="p-personal" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-personal vector-user-menu-legacy vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label" > <h3 id="p-personal-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Personal tools</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> <li id="pt-uls" class="mw-list-item active"><a class="uls-trigger" href="#"><span>English</span></a></li><li id="pt-anonuserpage" class="mw-list-item"><span title="The user page for the IP address you are editing as">Not logged in</span></li><li id="pt-anontalk" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Special:MyTalk" title="Discussion about edits from this IP address [n]" accesskey="n"><span>Talk</span></a></li><li id="pt-anoncontribs" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Special:MyContributions" title="A list of edits made from this IP address [y]" accesskey="y"><span>Contributions</span></a></li><li id="pt-createaccount" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Commons%3AVillage+pump%2FArchive%2F2004%2F12" title="You are encouraged to create an account and log in; however, it is not mandatory"><span>Create account</span></a></li><li id="pt-login" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Commons%3AVillage+pump%2FArchive%2F2004%2F12" title="You are encouraged to log in; however, it is not mandatory [o]" accesskey="o"><span>Log in</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </nav> <div id="left-navigation"> <nav id="p-namespaces" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-namespaces vector-menu-tabs vector-menu-tabs-legacy vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label" > <h3 id="p-namespaces-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Namespaces</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> <li id="ca-nstab-project" class="selected mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2004/12" title="View the project page [c]" accesskey="c"><span>Project page</span></a></li><li id="ca-talk" class="new mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Commons_talk:Village_pump/Archive/2004/12&action=edit&redlink=1" rel="discussion" class="new" title="Discussion about the content page (page does not exist) [t]" accesskey="t"><span>Discussion</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </nav> <nav id="p-variants" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-variants emptyPortlet vector-menu-dropdown vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" > <input type="checkbox" id="p-variants-checkbox" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" data-event-name="ui.dropdown-p-variants" class="vector-menu-checkbox" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" > <label id="p-variants-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">English</span> </label> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> </ul> </div> </nav> </div> <div id="right-navigation"> <nav id="p-views" class="mw-portlet mw-portlet-views vector-menu-tabs vector-menu-tabs-legacy vector-menu" aria-labelledby="p-views-label" > <h3 id="p-views-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Views</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"> <li id="ca-view" class="selected mw-list-item"><a href="/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2004/12"><span>View</span></a></li><li id="ca-viewsource" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2004/12&action=edit" title="This page is protected.
