Forum:Image category

Is there a way that I can automatically add áll images to the Image category? Tedjuh10 - Talk 13:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There is no need for that, Special:PrefixIndex/File: lists them all. 14:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There's also Special:UncategorizedFiles. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Still none are the answer... he wants to categorize them so they can be seen it in an alphabetic order be DPL or category pages, and oppose to some project images are categorize at the same as the articles so both are display when browsing the category pages (well thats my bet as thats my intention to apply some day to the dofus images). The fastest and easiest way i can think is by using a bot. The second best thing is to go to the image use the "end" key in your keyboard and use the add category option in monaco will be faster than my third option that is to "edit" waiting for loading then copy/paste or type down and then saving and waiting for load --


 * Yeah, but the problem is... we have about 250 images... I have a bot, well... the files, and the family / user config files, but I don't know how to use it. Any suggestions? Tedjuh10 - Talk 22:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing you are using the Pywikipedia bot, so use the category script (the command is ). By default, it'll only show up to 60 images, so increase the limit on "pagegenerators.py", line 325 ("UnCategorizedImageGenerator"). If you want to have them sorted in different subcategories, you should first move to all images to a temporary category, then use the replace script. You won't have to go through all images if you've skipped one (unless you're willing to wait a day for Special:UncategorizedFiles). I don't know if you've ever used a bot on Wikia, but just in case, make sure that you've fixed the credits line, and get the bot flagged on your wiki. --D. (talk · contr) 23:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
