Adding an image

All images added to this wiki must be "free-use". That is, they must either by public domain or licensed by the copyright holder under a licence that allows anyone to reuse the images. It's important that we do not add images taken from other websites as these are usually not free-use and would be copyright violations. See Image copyright tags for more detail on licences and how to tag your images.

Uploading

We encourage you to upload images with the highest resolution available. It is very easy to make thumbnail versions to display on your page (see below). Please use descriptive filenames telling something about the photo. All images must have a unique name.

Using Images

To use an image in an article, you simply surround the full name (including the "Image" part) in double square brackets:

[[Image:Example.jpg]] will give you:

You can resize by adding the size in pixels between two pipes:

[[Image:Example.jpg|50px|]] will give you:

You can make an image a thumbnail an image by adding "thumb" in the same way. If a pipe is there from a previous variable, you don't need to add another:

[[Image:Example.jpg|50px|thumb|]] will give you:

This is automatically formatted to the right of the page. You can change this by adding "left" or "center":

[[Image:Example.jpg|50px|thumb|left|]] will give you:

Anything after the last pipe becomes the alt text or the caption:

[[Image:Example.jpg|50px|thumb|left|Alt]] will give you:

Alt

To link to a file without showing it on the page, you can use "Media" instead of "Image":

[[Media:Example.jpg]] will give you: Media:Example.jpg

To link to the image page instead, use a colon before the word "Image":

[[:Image:Example.jpg]] will give you: Image:Example.jpg

Finally, to create a gallery of images you can use the <gallery> tag:

<gallery>
Image:Example.jpg|1
Image:Example.jpg|2
Image:Example.jpg|3
</gallery>

Will give you:
