This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
- This category does not help with categorisation. Leave it as it is for now. Once all files are moved out, delete it. User:Tris T7, please stop adding files to this category or creating similar categories. Roy17 (talk) 00:21, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hello User:Roy17 How are you ? This is Tris T7. I have created Category:JPEG files needing categories as of 2018 because there are many of file such as .jpeg, .gif, .tif, .svg, .pdf, .png, mixing up in Category:All media needing categories as of 2018. So i believed to selected JPEG and group in one category would be helpful and easier for user who going to modify them in category that they belong. But if we find consensus that what i did are not helpful then as i want to learn and have knowledge about it so please kindly allow me to organize them back to Category:All media needing categories as of 2018 and remove Category out of system. But yes until then i will wait for others opinion on this issue. Anyway thank you for letting me know your opinion. Until then enjoy and happy and thank you for your contributions. ..--Tris T7 (talk) 10:01, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- I definitely don't think it's helpful to have media needing categories sorted by file extention. I could maybe imagine separating out videos or audio, as the task of sorting them might have different requirements than images, but there's no functional difference between an uncategorized jpg and an uncategorized png. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:43, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Themightyquill: Then why do we need Category:JPEG files, Category:PNG files, Category:SVG files, Category:PDF files for ? and without Category:SVG files needing categories as of 2018 then how do i manage them to existing Category:SVGs by subject? Please kindly let me know? I also invite you to have a look at Category:JPEG files needing categories as of 2018 you would see the group of the same source arrange in the group of page in category. and by separations video and audio out of images at the end person who looking for useful SVG files that still somewhere in Category:All media needing categories as of 2018. That maybe an answer for some change that we could make because we still have almost two hundred thousand file in Category:All media needing categories as of 2017 and over 1xx,xxx in 2016 and 1xx,xxx in 2015 if you look for over all images at the end logo files in each year need to separating to SVG and JPEG for subcategories for each category anyway. And for people who seeking for .gif files which are some where in this group of 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 that me and more people who i am going to invite to join to support for organize this huge group of files. That way we will never get more people to join community as we still have over 4 years delayed of work that will never categorize. So please allow me to continue and at the end you will see significant improve to categorize uncategory files up to date. Thank you and await for your reply.--Tris T7 (talk) 21:47, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

- I'm generally not in favour of mixing what are essentially maintenance categories like (Category:PNG files) and subject categories Category:Buildings). SVGs are perhaps an exception because of their particular usefulness in terms of translation and resizing. I consider Category:SVGs by subject to be shorthand for Category:Vector images by subject (when we only allow one vector image format). It rarely makes any difference to someone looking for an image of a building if it's a JPG, GIF or PNG. That's why we don't have Category:JPEG files by subject, and why 99.999% of jpg images on commons are not in a sub-category of Category:JPEG files. Proper categorization rarely depends on file format, so while there are many files in Category:All media needing categories as of 2017 in need of proper categorizing, sorting them between PNG and JPG is not helpful in getting them properly categorized. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:22, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
