== Moving files between categories, and removing files from a category == 


* '''Turn on the gadget on category page:''' after activation, you will see a little post-it-note labeled "cat-a-lot" in the '''lower-right corner''' of every category page, as seen in Figure 2. This box will stay in that corner, independent of your position on the page. If the note doesn't appear, try to purge the cache of your browser. Click it to start the tool.

The state of file B will be toggled (selected if it was not previously and vice-versa) and then assigned to all files from A through B.


* '''Select destination category:''' Initially, the tool loads the current category (→), its parents (↑) (categories with which it is tagged) and subcategories (↓) (categories that are tagged with it). You can navigate through the category tree by clicking on a category name. Only the category list in the box will change, you will stay on the original page. Instead of navigating through clicking, you can also type a category name (e.g. "Lions", not "Category:Lions") in the white text field above the list and press {{Key press|ENTER}}.

* '''If necessary, [[Commons:Create category|create destination category]]:''' The cat-a-lot box only shows categories that already exist. So create one if necessary. Reload the category that contains the files you want to categorize better. The cat-a-lot box will now show the newly created category.

:* '''Remove''' (Delete)(-), which removes the specified category from the highlighted objects (if present).
:* '''Move''' (Modify)(→), which does both, removing the current category from the objects and adding the specified category to them (if not already present).


In each case, all of the other categories which might be associated with any of the objects remain unchanged. A progress indicator will be shown. After all images were processed, a report is shown including possible problems, and the whitespace area below each image will indicate what was done to that image.
