Description Lupo 2012-11-20 22:23:38 UTC 
Sample URL:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pickinben/453762032/

Flinfo is able to suggest Category:Holland and Category:Zeeland automatically. Would be nice if the UW flickr uploader could do that, too.
Comment 1 Lupo 2012-11-20 23:00:24 UTC 
Note: category suggestions from Flickr tags are not easy.

- Must resolve redirects, both soft and hard. At the Commons, soft redirects
  are categories that themselves are in Category:Category redirects.
- Should not suggest disambiguation categories
  (at the Commons: categories that are themselves in Category:Disambiguation)
- Should not suggest top-level categories
  (at the Commons: categories that themselves are in
   Category:Categories requiring permanent diffusion)
- Must not suggest duplicates

Flinfo does all this; see its FlinfoWiki class. That still doesn't guarantee that categories generated from Flickr's tags are always good, but it avoids the worst blunders.
Comment 2 Lupo 2012-11-20 23:06:22 UTC 
Forgot one thing: must not suggest non-existing categories. An example would be Category:Beach from the tag "Beach" on the sample image given above. Commons has no such category.
Comment 3 Nischay Nahata 2012-11-23 11:04:21 UTC 
Marking as low priority and enhancement as Flickr upload has some other bugs to be fixed before this.
