Help:Upload

Upload a file

To upload a file,

1. scroll down to the bottom of a wiki page and click on Upload file.
2. click on the "Browse button" in the "Source file" menu to choose a file from your hardisk, usb medium, cd etc.

The preferred image formats are so far PNG, GIF, JPG and JPEG. Sound/Video formats we may support later.

Choose a good name for the media file before you upload it, as it cannot be renamed later. Once the file is uploaded you should be able to read and make sense of its file page, which describes the file and lets the reader see the image in its original size. Add also a category/categories for the file and it will be displayed as a thumbnail in the chosen category/categories.

Be aware that the size of the image may impact on the page performance. As a rule, files uploaded for use on our wiki should be the smallest size possible that does not sacrifice clarity in the image. Note also that animated gifs that are too large will not animate, but display the first frame as a static picture. See the help for images for details.
