Help:Uploading Pictures

This page explains how pictures are uploaded to the wiki.

Wiki picture basics

Pictures can be uploaded to the wiki and displayed on one page, on many page, or on no pages at all. Even if an uploaded picture is not used on any page it can still be found by people, for example by using the multimedia search, or by looking at the list of files.

Upload a new picture

These are the steps to upload a new picture to the wiki.

1. Click the "Upload file" link that is found on the left side of any page.
2. Click the "Browse" button to find the picture file on your computer.
3. Type a name for the picture into the "Destination filename" box. The name should be a simple description of what is seen in the picture. You CAN put spaces in the file name.
4. Type a brief description of the picture and any copyright/usage info into the "Description" box.
5. Click the "Upload file" button.
