# First thing you do is to '''edit the page where you want to use a picture'''. Do the uploading later.

# Type <tt><nowiki>[[File:Your descriptive filename here.jpg]]</nowiki></tt> or '''use the insert file button in the tool bar'''<br /> [[File:Insert File.png]]<br /> If you use the tool bar, you must '''change the default file name''' to a name that briefly describes your Image.

# Type <tt><nowiki>[[File:Your descriptive filename here.jpg]]</nowiki></tt> or '''use the insert file button in the tool bar'''<br /> [[File:Insert File.png]]<br /> If you use the tool bar, you must '''change the default file name''' to a name that briefly describes your Image. Don't use filenames like '''1.jpg''', it's likely they already exist and you will be overwriting a file of someone else, thus destroying another page!

# '''Add the layout options'''. The table below gives you an overview on which options you have when including images.

# Once you edited and saved your page you have a greyed out image link like this one [[File:Not yet existant image.png]]. If you click on it it will direct you to the upload page. Where you can '''Upload the yet missing File'''. The filename of the uploaded image will be renamed to the one you have written in the article, it is not necessary that they match. (Example: you write in the wiki <tt><nowiki>[[File:Michael Mustermann Projekt XY.png]]</nowiki></tt> and later you can upload a file called DSC894732.png. Your File will be renamed automatically, just the filetype needs to match) Make sure you upload in a resolution so it can also be used for printing at a later point. A reasonable file size is from 1 to 5 MB for a jpeg file depending on the pixel size. Important: choose the license you want to put your image under.
