Difference between revisions of "Category:Galleries by topic"

This category is for categories and pages that feature a themed gallery of pictures.

The pages in this category have been made by people deliberately selecting, arranging and captioning pictures for your edutainment. The subcategories here are simply groups of all the images (and other pages) that have been placed in this category. By putting categories on images, we automatically create galleries of images with similar content on their category page. By putting any subcategory that is used to describe an image in this category, we create this list of galleries.

All expedition photos should be categorized as Meetup in LAT LONG and either Meetup on YYYY-MM-DD or Retro meetup, but you can always add additional categories to your own or other people's photographs.

Instructions

Here is how to add images to categories, and categories to the list below.

If there is a type of image that you think would make a good gallery, put that category name on an appropriate image. First check this page to make sure that there isn't already a very similar category in existence, so we don't end up with separate Bicycles and Bikes categories, for example. Once you've picked a good name for a new category, type [[Category:Whatever]] (where "Whatever" is the name of your category) in the image edit box and save the image. Your category name will appear as a red link. Now click on the red link and type in the edit box the description of what your category is for, and finish off with [[Category:Galleries by topic]] which will place your category inside this one, adding your category to the list below.

Once you or someone else has created a category, anyone can add it to any image, adding that image to the gallery. Have fun!
