Help:Images



Uploading a file
In order to place an image on the Wiki, it first needs to have been uploaded, using the Wiki's "Upload file" feature (located on the Toolbox, left). To find the file you want to upload, click "Browse..." (the file must be on your computer, and of the permitted file types - shown on the upload form). The "Destination filename" is the name your file will be given on the Wiki (prefixed by "File:"), and it needs to include the file's format (e.g. jpeg, png). In the "Summary", you should provide relevant details on the copyright of the image and where it will be used in the Wiki. Pressing the "Upload file" will upload the file to the Wiki so it can be placed in articles etc.

Adding images
Now that the file has been uploaded, it can be placed on the Wiki using the simple syntax: When this is written on its own, away from text, this places the image, in its full size, on the left-hand side of the page.
 *  [[File:Filename.format]] 

But of course, there are numerous other things that can be done to images which increase their capabilties:
 *  Filename.format  - specifies the side of the page - right or left
 *  Filename.format  - makes the image a thumbnail
 *  Filename.format  - defines the image's size
 *  Filename.format  - allows you to add caption text

These functions are often combined, as shown below: This is created using:
