Commons:Guía de diseño
Shortcuts: COM:GTL • COM:LAYOUT La Guía de diseño de Commons describe algunos de los conceptos básicos para diseñar páginas de galerías, páginas con descripción de archivos y páginas de categorías. Es un resumen del aspecto general de estas páginas. Para páginas complejas, es posible que desees copiar una página existente que pareciera tener la estructura adecuada.
Consideraciones generales
Hay algunas consideraciones generales que deben tenerse en cuenta al estructurar una página en Commons. Estas guías principales deberían permitirle tomar la decisión correcta cuando se encuentre con algo que no está explícitamente cubierto en la Guía de diseño.
- Neutralidad del lenguaje: Ten en cuenta que Commons es un proyecto multilingue, y es probable que sea necesario traducir cualquier texto. Utilice una alternativa de idioma neutral cuando sea posible, por ejemplo, usando una flecha en lugar de "Siguiente".
- Facilidad de uso: Commons es un proyecto enfocado en contenido, nada más. Las galerías, las páginas de descripción de archivos y las categorías están destinadas a facilitar la exploración y la búsqueda de ese contenido.
Páginas de galería
Gallery pages on Commons are pages in the main namespace that feature a selection of images related to a particular subject.
Galleries are a complement to categories, as another way of displaying media. Galleries are useful as showcasing the best, most illustrative, informative and interesting images of a category. They allow files to be annotated with captions, shown at better sizes than the category default, organised in tables, etc. They are also useful for presenting material in a logical order, something categories have a limited ability to do. For example, compare Tennis to Category:Tennis. Information on gallery pages can be presented in a hierarchical manner, such as Pronunciation of Dutch municipality names and United States.
Galleries typically begin with short captions that briefly introduce the topic in many languages (these can be automatically generated using Commons Sum-it-up), followed by headed sections that typically use the <gallery> tag (see meta page for guidance). The files should be followed by interwiki links (also generated by Sum-it-up) and at least one category. Gallery pages must be in at least one category.
A good way to design a new gallery page is to adapt an existing one from a similar topic. Species (plants/animals) pages will necessarily be different to location (cities/countries) pages.
A special series of gallery pages are the Atlas pages, that can be found at Atlas.

Páginas de descripción de archivos
File description pages are the pages that accompany files uploaded to Commons. They include a summary of the file's content, and information on the file itself, including its author and licensing information.
{{Information}} or more specialized infobox templates like {{Artwork}}, {{Photograph}}, {{Book}}, {{Map}}, {{Art Photo}} etc. are generally used to format its content.
The usual headers for these pages are:
{{int:filedesc}}(Summary){{int:license-header}}(Licensing)- {{Original upload log}} (Original upload log)
- {{Assessment}} (Assessment)
These are optional.
MediaWiki adds the following section headers:
- File
- File history
- File links
- Metadata
Interwiki links
In-line Interwiki links –those which are preceded by a colon ( : )– for terms used in the description of a file are encouraged. On the other hand, file description pages must not have Interwiki links of the kind that appear in the left sidebar as they would link to non-existing pages.
- Example – good
… a composition by [[:en:Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska|Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska]] … 
[[:en:File:Georges Bizet - Rosabel Morrison - Carmen poster.png]]
[[:fr:File:Georges Bizet - Rosabel Morrison - Carmen poster.png]]
- Example – bad
… a composition by [[en:Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska|Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska]] … 
[[en:File:Georges Bizet - Rosabel Morrison - Carmen poster.png]]
[[fr:File:Georges Bizet - Rosabel Morrison - Carmen poster.png]]
Páginas de categorías
Category pages on Commons are pages in the Category namespace. They provide a brief summary of the content in the category, and allow users to find related categories. MediaWiki also automatically generates thumbnails of the files contained in the category.
Categories are useful as indiscriminately large "containers" of images on a topic.
