They allow files to be annotated with captions, shown at better sizes than the category default, organized in tables, etc. Typically they begin with short captions that briefly introduce the topic in many languages (these can be automatically generated using <a class="external text" href="https://multidesc.toolforge.org/">MultiDesc</a>), followed by headed sections that <i>typically</i> use the <gallery> tag (see <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Gallery_tag,_category,_table_of_images" class="extiw" title="meta:Help:Images and other uploaded files">meta page</a> for guidance). </p><p>The files should be followed by interwiki links (also generated by Sum-it-up) and at least one category.

Categories are useful as indiscriminately large "containers" of images on a topic. Galleries (on article pages) are useful as showcasing the best, most illustrative, informative and interesting images of a category. They are also useful for presenting material in a logical order, something categories have a limited ability to do. For example, compare <a href="/wiki/Tennis" title="Tennis">Tennis</a> to <a href="/wiki/Category:Tennis" title="Category:Tennis">Category:Tennis</a>. Information on gallery pages can be presented in a hierarchical manner, such as <a href="/wiki/Pronunciation_of_Dutch_municipality_names" title="Pronunciation of Dutch municipality names">Pronunciation of Dutch municipality names</a> and <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>. </p><p>This is just advice for if you feel totally lost. Some topics have specific guidelines for the organisation of media, such as plants and animals which fall under the <a href="/wiki/Commons:TOL" class="mw-redirect" title="Commons:TOL">WikiProject Tree of Life</a>. Unless you are interested in helping out with such projects, don't worry too much about finding out what the 'rules' are until someone tells you -- the people who take part in the project will fix things up. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Copyright_questions" data-mw-thread-id="h-Copyright_questions"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Copyright_questions"></span>Copyright questions<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Copyright_questions"></span></h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="What_licenses_do_the_files_I_want_to_upload_have_to_use?" data-mw-thread-id="h-What_licenses_do_the_files_I_want_to_upload_have_to_use?-Copyright_questions"><span id="What_licenses_do_the_files_I_want_to_upload_have_to_use.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-What_licenses_do_the_files_I_want_to_upload_have_to_use?-Copyright_questions"></span>What licenses do the files I want to upload have to use?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-What_licenses_do_the_files_I_want_to_upload_have_to_use?-Copyright_questions"></span></h3></div> <p>Anything that you upload must be in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Public_domain" class="extiw" title="w:en:Public domain"><span title="no exclusive intellectual property rights apply">public domain</span></a>, or under a free license such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License" class="extiw" title="w:GNU Free Documentation License">GNU Free Documentation License</a> or CC BY/BY-SA.

When the information on such a template is edited, the pages containing that template are not necessarily updated immediately. This means that pages might not always appear in the most current categories. However, this problem usually affects project maintenance categories rather than the categories used for browsing. </p><p>Various other temporary delays may sometimes mean that lists of category members or subcategories, or the page counts given, are not completely up to date.

The goal is to show the content in the language of the user's choice. The current upload process, which creates a lot of new text visible on each page, was written before the current push for internationalization and creates all the headers and other standard texts in the language of the uploader, and since the software supports many different languages, new images are created daily with text in all those languages. In order to correct the problem, some automatic processes (aka <a href="/wiki/Commons:Bots" title="Commons:Bots">bots</a>) patrol new uploads, changing the text to code which will automatically show the text in the language of the user's choice.

Any MediaWiki installation has one or more file repositories, which may be local or not. First, such subdirectories are used only if the global server-side configuration setting <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgHashedUploadDirectory" class="extiw" title="mw:Manual:$wgHashedUploadDirectory">$wgHashedUploadDirectory</a> is <code>true</code> (or <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory" class="extiw" title="mw:Manual:$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory">$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory</a> for shared repositories). Then, for each file repository, there is a property called <code>hashLevels</code> that determines how deep the directory structure shall be. If zero, no such intermediary directories are used. If set to e.g. 3, three levels of directories are used; for the example above, one would get "/a/ae/ae1".</dd> <dd>This method of storing files has been in MediaWiki since version 1.1 (and possibly even earlier), though it became a bit more configurable over time; initially, it was hardcoded to use two hash levels.</dd> <dd>You can check what the file URL for a given file name will be at <a href="/wiki/Special:FilePath" title="Special:FilePath">Special:FilePath</a>.
