This category has become too crowded. It should list very few images directly. Files should be moved to subcategories where appropriate. New subcategories can be created. Some files need to be moved elsewhere. Search for more categories: fulltext, Main Page, topics, meta categories. Please remove or replace this tag afterwards.
English: An aircraft is a vehicle which is able to fly by being supported by the air, or in general, the atmosphere, of a planet. Examples include balloons, airplanes, and helicopters.
For details on categorization of aircraft media, see the aircraft categorization schema.

Files in this category need to have the following things checked:

  1. Categories
  2. Descriptions
  3. File naming

Categories

[edit]

Ideally, aircraft imagery should have the following categories present, if they can be accurately discerned from the image or from the photograph description. Of course, there will be times when some or all of the categories below cannot be determined.

  1. Aircraft registration, in the format Category:X-XXXX (aircraft), example, Category:RA-96015 (aircraft). If the registration category does not exist, create it, including at a bare minimum: Category:Aircraft by registration, Category:Aircraft registered in XXXXX, Category:Aircraft type here, Category:Aircraft operator here
  2. Aircraft type at airport: This might be inline with Category:Boeing 737 at Zurich International Airport, Category:Military aircraft at Perth Airport, Category:Private and executive aircraft at London Heathrow Airport. If the category doesn't exist, create it.
  3. Airline at airport: This might be inline with Category:British Airways aircraft at Zurich International Airport, Category:Royal Air Force aircraft at London Heathrow Airport. If the category doesn't exist, create it. If there are numerous files in a category, this could be further re-categorised as, for example, Category:Airbus A380 of Emirates at Sydney Airport, or even Category:Boeing 777 of British Airways on final approach at London Heathrow Airport
  4. Aviation year: This could be along the lines of Category:2008 in aviation in Russia, or further broken down into airports, example, Category:2016 at Zurich International Airport. If such categories don't exist, create them.

Descriptions

[edit]

Ideally files should have a description of the photograph in at least one language. Feel free to add descriptions in any language you are proficient, or take advantage of https://translate.google.com which can often do a remarkably good job with the more common languages you are likely to encounter.

You may also want to convert the {{Information}} template into {{Infobox aircraft image}}

File naming

[edit]

Some files in this category may not optimally describe what is in the photo, or may be a generic DSC-type name. Request renaming, or move the file, to a more appropriate name.
