Help:Images

This page will teach you how to upload images and insert them into wiki pages. You must have permission from the artist before uploading an image! For more details, see Wikipedia's Help page on Images.

Uploading a File

Images must be uploaded to the LOTC Wiki before they can be used on wiki pages. Use the Upload file link under the Tools section of the sidebar. Select Browse..., choose the file you wish to upload, and select Open.

Next you need to fill in the file description. The "filename" box should be automatically filled after the file is uploaded; you may change it if you'd like. Use the Summary field of the File description section to provide details about the image. Typically, the summary should contain a short description of the image, name of the artist and the source of the file.

Inserting an Image

After successfully uploading an illustration you can insert it onto the page you wished to.

Step 1: Maneuver your way to the page you wish to place the image on.

Step 2: Click on Edit which can be found left from the search bar, between Read and View history.

Step 3: Choose the placement of the image.

Step 4: When inserting the image you have to type [[File:(The name you chose earlier in Uploading an Image, Step 3)]]. An example would be [[File:valecutest.png]]
