Trizek-WMF added a comment. This tasks raises some old discussions and ideas from Commons Community: having tags, categories or both.
To complete AFBorchert's example, I take an example with this image <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chartres_Cathedral_Royal_Portal_Statues_2_2007_08_31.jpg>. There is two concepts in one: - **categorization**, related to concepts, in an tree structure: Royal portal of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, included in Portals of Notre-Dame de Chartres, included in Exterior of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, included in Catégorie Notre-Dame de Chartres. This primal category is the only necessary one. - **tagging**, related to characteristics: Pilaster, Gothic art, CC-BY-SA, File by Andreas F. Borchert. It is possible to add more tags: "statues", "12th century"... These tags does not exist at the moment. They are easily translatable. A faceted search using tags can give user access to all information needed. On the portal image example, there is two categories which are for characteristics: - Category:Gothic sculptures of Chartres cathedral : can be found with "Gothic art" and "Notre-Dame of Chartres Cathedral" (or, in French, "Art gothique" and "Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres" - yay, translations!). It is possible to use both categories and tags, in an invisible way for users. - Category:Pilasters in France: can be found with "Pilasters" and "France". "France" is the parent category for "Notre-Dame of Chartres Cathedral". The example image can be found by typing, for example "Notre-Dame de Chartres", "pilasters" and "portal". Looking for exterior views of the Cathedral? Type "exterior view of Chartres' cathedral". The category will do the job. Looking for exterior sculptures of the Cathedral? Type "exterior sculptures of Chartres' cathedral". The category and the tagging will do the job. Bot I'm pretty sure these features will need a little bit of improvement on MediaWiki's Search engine. With a category, it is the same. Categories should just be for concepts: we replace "Category:Women facing left and looking right in art" by tagging only. Adding translatable categories' descriptions would be very helpful (better that the existing one). With a page... well, pages must be nuked. Definitely.
