At the moment our [[MediaWiki:Community-corner]] says users should add all images to [[:Category:Images|Images]] though this conflicts with the description in the category itself: ''Please place images in subcategories only. Images should be in at least two subcategories, one by license (using a license template) and one by content''. In my opinion the images category should only be used for "I don't know where else to put it images" which can then be sorted later. What are your thoughts?

===Include categories in license dropdown===
A kind user pointed me to [[:w:c:doom:Special:Upload|The Doom Wiki]] where you can see they have an expanded license dropdown, which puts the images in categories too. I think we should adopt that. Here's their [http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Licenses MediaWiki:Licenses].

===Screenshots categories===
Personally I don't quite like how screenshots from the game are handled. In my opinion there's a huge difference between promotional shots released before the game is released and screenshots submitted by users after release. I suggest we make a promotional images category for each game, where needed of course, (eg. Category:Promotional images/Fast Lane Stuff), maybe Category:Renders/Fast Lane Stuff) as well. That just leaves screencaps from videos. Screenshots from the game would still be in 'Sims 3 snapshots' for example.
 
Be sure to check out [[Help:Categorizing images]]. '''[[User:Duskey|Duskey]]'''<small>([[User_talk:Duskey|<span style="color:green;">talk</span>]])</small> 11:11, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
 
== Tags ==
Line 24 ⟶ 33:
As an example, a sims 3 snapshot of a party where two sims are fighting, one of them a ghost, the tags could be: sims 3, party, ghost, fighting. People will then be able to browse the tag categories for similar images of just "search" for pictures of sims fighting if they need one.
 
Implementing this would require us to create a master tag category: [[:'Category:Tags]]' and several categories for each tag, but once it has been set up, it will greatly improve the way you can find images here.
