Help:Uploading
From Mie Guidebook
Information about uploading images to the wiki.
How to Upload
- Click on the "upload file" link which is located in the Toolbox (bottom-most box in the left-hand navbar)
- Select an image file to upload (source filename). Please keep file size small. Do not upload extremely hi-res pictures, there's no reason for anything bigger than 2048x1536.
- Give the file a name (destination filename). The name on the wiki can be different than the original filename. Spaces are allowed. Pick something simple and reasonable.
- Write a brief description of the image (summary) - this text will not show up when the image is used in an article. It's a good idea to include who took the picture or where you got it from, and link back to the source in the latter case.
- You're ready to go - click "Upload File".
How to Display in Article
- Browse to the article you want the image in and click "edit". Keep in mind that images are shown on the right-hand side of the page with text flowing down the left side of them.
- At the portion of the article where you want the picture to appear, insert this code on its own line:
[[Image:<Filename on guidebook>|350px|right|thumb|<caption text>
- For example, if you uploaded "IMG_2353.JPG" from your computer to the guidebook and gave it the filename "Ise Shrine Bridge.jpg", you would add:
[[Image:Ise Shrine Bridge.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Entrance into Ise Grand Shrine]]
- Click "Show preview" to make sure it shows up the way you want.
- Click "Save page" - All done :)
