Just in case I missed any[edit]
New pages I started[edit]
List any new pages I start to help organize photos I find that others have uploaded. Among other things, I am categorizing as many photographs of wind turbines by country as I can, if (a) they were not already so categorized, and (b) I can determine the country where each photo was taken. This is useful for adding photos to articles such as en:Wind power in Austria, en:Wind power in Italy, etc. I am also categorizing some photos by the wind turbine vendor (if I can determine this), and sometimes more specifically than by country, such as by the individual wind farm or windpark.
Categories[edit]
I created these categories:
- Category:Algae fuel
- Category:Bergey Windpower
- Category:Corydoras punctatus
- Category:Created with Quantum GIS

Project pages[edit]
Editor's index[edit]
21:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC): I didn't see any page on Commons like the Editor's index to Wikipedia, so I created one. See my notes at: en:User:Teratornis/Notes#Editor's index to Commons.
Glossary[edit]
00:59, 17 February 2009 (UTC): I saw that Commons:Project namespace had a red link to Commons:Glossary, so I will start one at User:Teratornis/Glossary, by copying elements of the structure from w:Wikipedia:Glossary and w:Wikipedia:Editor's index to Wikipedia. Each entry uses code like this:
{{Shortcut3|COM:GLO#Term}} ;Term<span id="Term"></span> :Definition
There is an {{Anchor}} template, but it just produces a <span .../>
tag, so I can't see the point in absorbing all that template overhead.
Templates[edit]
- {{Shortcut3}} - I copied a recent revision of w:Template:Shortcut so I can have a shortcut template with the proper behavior inside list items, to use in the Editor's index to Commons
- {{Keypress}} - I copied this from w:Template:Keypress so I can say things like: Ctrl+F
- {{Flickr free}} - I copied this from w:Template:Flickr free because it's a handy way to document searches for free content on Flickr
- {{Flinfo}} - a simple wrapper to call the Flinfo tool with a Flickr ID
- {{Wind power}} - a navigation template I might make, based on {{Navbox}} (see some examples and Category:Navigational templates)
- Develop initially as: User:Teratornis/Wind power and then move to Template: namespace once it works.
- Look for galleries: Special:PrefixIndex/Wind
- {{Regenerate thumbnail}} - a template that creates a link to regenerate a thumbnail of an image (see COM:FAQ#PURGE)
- {{Edit conflict}} - copied from w:Template:Edit conflict
- {{Template shortcut}} - copied from w:Template:Template shortcut, needed for some template documentation pages and elsewhere
