How to Upload Pictures to the Wiki
Uploading pictures to the Wiki is easier than you think. If you do happen to get many problems while uploading, it is probably not your fault. The system is quite buggy sometimes, so just keep trying until it works!
The first two tips I will give you when uploading pictures to the wiki is this:
Save your photos as .png files. The wiki has trouble reading jpeg files and 9 times out of 10, it will not upload the file. If you are receiving error messages that your photo can not be uploaded, check to make sure it isn't saved under anything other than png.
The second tip is to give your photo an easy file name to remember. This is because when you go post your photo in the wiki, you have to manually type the file name in. A file named "flower" is easier to remember than "flower182438405jfhu3498".
To begin putting pictures on the wiki, you first have to upload your photos. You should be logged in, otherwise you won't be able to upload anything.
Go to the left side of your screen and look for the link that says "Upload File".
Click on this link.
The Wiki then will bring you to the Uploading Page for photos.
The next step here is very important. Do not upload any copyrighted material that you do not own!!! You will be held responsible, and your photo will be taken down from the wiki. When uploading pictures, make sure to name your file appropriately and do not use special characters such as @$%^&, etc. These will not be recognized by the system. As stated before, name your file simply! Do not call it inappropriate things - this wiki is public and can be viewed by anyone! Make sure to choose the proper copyright status and source. If you aren't sure what to choose, ask, or look it up! It's the internet - there are answers everywhere!
