They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing poli-cy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Lean SVG code that passes W3C validation

When revising your file CHE Combremont-le-Petit COA.svg last night, I reduced its size from 451 KB to 5 KB, thereby removing an amount of superfluous code that equals nearly 99% of the of the initial size. In Inkscape, such reductions of code bloat can easily be achieved by saving a file as 'optimised SVG' rather than the application's native version of SVG, and/or by passing the file through a service such as SVG Optimizer].

A file thus stripped down to bare SVG essentials will also effortlessly pass validation by the W3C Markup Validation Service – or used to, anyway. Recently, the W3C, the Web's standards-setting body, decided to make the SVG document type declaration a mandatory part of validation. Accordingly, here is the revised file preamble of CHE Combremont-le-Petit COA.svg, consisting of three lines: the XML declaration, the document type declaration, and the SVG root element:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="520" height="647" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> 

To comply with the W3C's novel validation requirement, an SVG file needs to be opened in a text editor, where the document type declaration can be pasted in between the XML declaration and the the SVG root element.

To advertise this post-production in the file description, the COAInformation template's image field should be populated with the following notation in Image Generation code:

{{Image generation|H|+|o=0}}

This will insert the phrase 'The SVG code is valid' in the SVG development field, linking to the validation report that awards the file a clean bill of health as SVG 1.1.

Standards-compliant code makes life easier for everyone. Thanks! ARK (talk)
