Uploading to Wikimedia Commons

We encourage you to upload images from your events to Wikimedia Commons so all the language Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects can use them.

Images of events go into the Commons category: ArtAndFeminism by year on Wikimedia Commons. Each event will have its own subcategory on the given year. If your event does not yet have a category on Commons, create one before uploading images to Commons. You can create a category by typing in the Search Bar: "Category:ArtAndFeminism YEAR/YOUR EVENT LOCATION". Then you must create the category by typing in a few words in the page to describe what the category is, and pressing "Save". Once you've created the category, you should be able to tag images you upload with this category. You can also put your category into the category [[:Commons:Category:ArtAndFeminism_YEAR]] by adding: [[Category:ArtAndFeminism_YEAR]] at the bottom of your category.

Wikimedia Commons is a “sister-project of Wikipedia.” Once you are logged in to Wikipedia, you are logged into all sister project websites.
Images on Wikipedia must be uploaded and hosted at Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org).

Click on “use this file” copy the wikimarkup listed for “Thumbnail” and paste this wikimarkup into the "Edit" Tab of the Wikipedia article markup where you want the image to go.
