Create QW2025 image and video galleries categories on Wikimedia Commons
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This task involves creating the main QW2025 category on Wikimedia Commons, as well as three subcategories: QW2025 Videos, QW2025 Photos and QW2025 Nodes. These categories will serve as a central hub for organizing media related to the event.

  1. Learn about Wikimedia Commons:
    • If you're new to Wikimedia Commons, check out the Commons Welcome Page to understand how Commons operates and what kinds of media can be uploaded and organized.
  1. Learn about categories:
    • Categories are used to organize and group similar media files. Learn how to create and manage categories by reviewing the Commons guide.
    • Review the QW2023 category on Wikimedia Commons to see how categories were structured for the previous event, including media galleries, videos, and photos.
  1. Create the categories for QW2025:
    • On Wikimedia Commons, create the QW2025 category as the main hub for all media related to the Queering Wikipedia 2025 event.
    • Create three subcategories under the main QW2025 category. These subcategories will organize event-related video recordings and photo galleries separately for better accessibility:
      • QW2025 Videos
      • QW2025 Photos
      • QW2025 Nodes

Make sure the categories are linked properly and that any initial media related to QW2025 can be added to the respective subcategories.

Hi @Jatinder190124 I see you are working on all tasks, which one are you actively working on so that others can also take on other tasks?

Thank you

hi @GonzaGertrude I will be working on all the tasks as I want to learn and have the proper context for the major task

hi @Andrerodriguex @Aklapper I would like to be assigned to this task please, thank you.

Hi and thanks for your interest. Please see the information for participants on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs and read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers#Communication_tips and do not ask to be assigned. Thanks! :)

hi @Nenethedev you can't assign a task to yourself. It's the decision of the mentor

@Jatinder190124
I’m so confused,😅
I was told I couldn’t ask to be assigned and after reading the article on communication tips I saw that we could assign it to ourselves and begin work on it
I think I would just comment my interest in contributing to the projects and fingers crossed

@Andrerodriguex @Aklapper

I’m very interested in contributing to this micro task if it’s not assigned to anyone yet. It would give me the opportunity to read more on mediawiki and contribute to a world class project where millions of people can access it. Thank you

Hello @Andrerodriguex @Akalapper @Zblace I have created these categories.
Here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:QW2025
I look forward to feedback.

@Nenethedev people who came early already started working on these tasks but that doesn't mean you can't. Please go ahead and give your best shot.
P.S. : - Am also trying and in love with the wikimedia community.

Hi everyone! I admire your enthusiasm, but please bear in mind that in the main task I asked you to pick initially one task so others could have the chance too.

@GonzaGertrude good job on the categories. :)
