Unfortunately, and given that uploaded files (images, pdfs, etc.) don't require a categorization they usually don't get one when uploaded. Making matters worse is the fact that I haven't found any way to explore the '''uncategorized images''' in the same way that one can browse the [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]]!!

Hopefuly this category should be empty as it represents the 'uncategorized files' collection (and we know that all files should fit at least one category, right? ;)

Uploaded files don't require a categorization, and usually they aren't edited for it later. And given that no functionality similar to Special:Uncategorizedpages exists for files, the alternative is to manually categorize them as uncategorized... oxymoron? You bet! Bot's work? Darn right!

Files have been (manualy) reviewed to have only one of the following sub categories (when no other obvious categorization exists):

[[Category:Uncategorized OLPC Pictures]] - camera snapshots, usually of people
[[Category:Uncategorized Screenshot]] - screenshots of applications unrelated to Sugar
or
[[Category:Uncategorized OLPC Media]] - if none of the above, or as default.

Last file uploaded categorized: Special:Imagelist
