If there is a way to narrow down the search within a metacategory using a dropdown menu, it would make it much easier to find categories for the image. Taking this further if a new category is made the drop down menu could suggest a possible metacategory for the new category, to reduce the amount of uncategorized categories. Instead of warning the user after uploading the image, the user could be prompted by the upload wizard to remind them to do so. -- Kevin Morgan PGP Public Key ID 0xB6028066 Key fingerprint = 09FB 59EB D9FE 7C9C 12DF 9530 A877 FAB7 B602 8066 _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
