Help:Categorizing
Bahai.media contains 29,016 files, all files should be categorized to ensure they don't get lost in this collection, and to help prevent duplicate files from being uploading. The following is a list of top level categories, find the most appropriate top level category for your file and then navigate until you find the most specific category possible for your image.
For example, to upload a photo of the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh you would look in the section beginning People, start with the category Bahá’u’lláh. To upload a photo of a National Spiritual Assembly, start with the section labeled Institutions and organizations, look for the category National Spiritual Assemblies, and from there find the most appropriate category.
Naming conventions: Drop any accents or special characters in names, except those of the Central Figures. The purpose of this is to make it easy to locate categories without having to worry about what conventions may have been used in the naming of the category. When a city or place name has changed, use the name currently in use.
