MediaWiki:Uploadtext

From BetaArchive Wiki

Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.

To include a file in a page on the wiki, use a link in one of the following forms:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with "alt text" as description
  • [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file

To include an image on the forum, it is not necessary to reupload the image there. Instead, use the BBCode syntax [url=image][img]image[/img][/url] where image is the full location of the file in the server (this is an example).

Please remember to add appropriate categories so that they get automatically added to the screenshots gallery! You must add the category to which your image belongs (check the screenshots gallery; if none exists use a suitable title and go to that category and add the screenshots gallery to it).

If you plan to upload multiple images, you may find Special:BatchUpload quicker and easier to use, as you can upload multiple images at once that way. It is also possible to set the contents of all images in one go - Special:BatchUpload/Foo will set the text of all images as "Foo". If you plan to upload multiple images via URL, follow this guide instead. Don't forget to add categories as appropriate in any case!
