This might be too specific for this list - if so, I apologize.
Categorization of the old centre of A'dam - de grachtengordel - I'd suggest categorizing by gracht also. As it is now, the main categori is huge and hard to navigate, partially caused by filenames like "Amsterdam - Prinsengracht x.jpg" and "Amsterdam-Herengracht y.jpg". The added spaces causes P to come before H. Suggestion is at least to categorize additionally by e.g. Singel, Herengracht, Keijzersgracht, and Prinsengracht etc etc. This can make searching easier. And if these categories also grow too big, it should be possible to go "Prinsengracht (odd numbers)" and "Prinsengracht (even numbers)" if I remember correctly.

This particular example is a good indicator of the density of Rijksmonuments in Amsterdam by the way. I can imagine that Multichill hasn't found a way to handle this type of categorization.

Nuno, I definitely would appreciate any and all help on
auto-categorizing!
Andre, are you referring to this template: {{Information field|name=Rijksmonument|value={{Rijksmonument|2542}}}} Because I noticed it dumped this picture into the category "Monuments
and
Memorials in Amsterdam" when it should have placed it into
"Rijksmonumenten
in Amsterdam": http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:De_Groote_Keijser_6.jpg
Well, this template: {{Rijksmonument|2542}} triggers most, but that was not the reason for the mentioned category, that was placed by the uploader it seems, and is indeed wrong. But that is the well known confusion between monuments and heritage, where sometimes monument is used for heritage.
Not sure if Multichill has all bots still running that do the auto-categorisation. I do see the location is added.

Andre

Hello all,
- Up to now, I'm expected that the categories get automatically
placed,
either from the form, or a post-bot-run. Eventually there are
others:
manually inserted, like "Palaces in Portugal", and those related to geolocalization that don't interfere with anything, I believe.
Just picking out this one. Yes, in NL a lot of categorisation was automated, either directly (I believe rijksmonument and the wlm category), or by
bot.
As you know in which town a monument-id is, you can even do the location-based categories via the bot. For NL we also had a 'type'
field,
due to which we could categorize into categories like 'churches in the netherlands'.
And yes, categories are important, it makes the objects findable. That
is
why having the id with the upload is important, via the id and
databases
with information, you can automate a lot.

Andre
