| ===How do I upload an image?===
| |
| On the sidebar, there should be a section with the name "Toolbox" (located directly under the "Search" box). The third option in that section is "Upload file". Click on that and follow the directions on the screen.
| |
| | |
| Note that the upload feature is available only to registered users.
| |
| | |
| ===How do I link to images?===
| |
| To link to an image, the following format is used: '''<nowiki>[[Image:(image name).(image extention)]]</nowiki>'''. You can also set the size in pixels and whether the image appears on the left or right side of the screen (see example below).
| |
| | |
| You can link to an image in thumbnail format or non-thumbnail format. Usually, the only time non-thumbnails are used are in the lead infobox template.
| |
| | |
| For this example, I will use a picture of [[Bulborb]] to illustrate the difference between thumbnail and non-thumbnail pictures.
| |
| | |
| Example 1 (non-thumbnail):
| |
| '''<nowiki>[[Image:EmporerBulblax.jpg|150px|left]]</nowiki>'''
| |
| | |
| Example 2 (thumbnail picture): '''<nowiki>[[Image.EmporerBulblax.jpg|150px|right|Thumbnail picture of [[Emporer Bulblax]]</nowiki>'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:EmporerBulblax.jpg|150px|left]]
| |
| | |
| [[Image:EmporerBulblax.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Thumbnail picture of Panaka]]

| ===How do I link to an image without including it in the page?===
| |
| Simply add a colon to the beginning of the internal link.
| |
| | |
| For instance:<br />
| |
| <nowiki>[[:Image:EmperorBulblax.jpg]]</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| Produces this:<br />
| |
| [[:Image:EmporerBulblax.jpg]]

| To make an image gallery, you would use the '''<nowiki><gallery></nowiki>''' tag, then list the images (one on each line) that you want to display. | | To make an image gallery, you would use the '''<nowiki><gallery></nowiki>''' tag, then list the images (one on each line) that you want to display. |
