Category talk:Wikipedia images

Untitled
The caterogation system here before last friday (December 1) was a nightmare. I've worked to streamline it, and added some new categories, like "Images by subject" "Images requiring maintenance" and some other subcats. Many of the pages here would be better serves if they were in subcats, and I've gradually been moving them as well. Any help to make this a productive jumping off point for categorizing images would be welcome. I'm shocked it hasn't bee done already.-- Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 19:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Necessity of this
Hi, I want to know if you think that having both separate categories for articles & images, is necessary. IMO, taking advantage of the MediaWiki that permits categorizing both articles images and even subcats in a category we should use only one. These should be per topic, for example:

image:Millenium Park Fountain 3.jpg shouldn't be categorized in, but instead at. Hope you hold attention at this dramatic proposal. thanks-- Andersmusician  VOTE  01:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * We should get images off of Wikipedia in general, unless they're fair use. Why do we still allow local uploads of copyleft images? (messedrocker • talk) 01:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * yeah, that would be a looking-forward proposal, although pretty hard to do (unless we use bots) -- Andersmusician  VOTE  02:46, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comments: link prefix for Wikimedia Commons
There is a cross-wiki discussion in progress as to whether  should be enabled globally as an interwiki prefix for links to the Wikimedia Commons. If the proposal gains consensus this will require the deletion or renaming of several pages on the English WIkipedia whose titles begin with "C:", including one or more redirects to this page. Please take a moment to participate in the discussion. There is also a related discussion on the English Wikipedia at Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 February 16 to which you are invited to contribute. Thank you.
