	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.		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 using the multimedia search, or by looking at the list of files. Every picture has a detailed information page that shows what pages use the picture, any previous versions of that picture, and any metadata that is included in the picture file. You can usually access this page by clicking on the picture.
