MediaWiki:Uploadtext: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:10, July 26, 2023

Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.

To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

[[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
[[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with "alt text" as description
[[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file

When you upload a file to Destinypedia, we ask that you select the appropriate license from the dropdown menu below. Please ensure that the image and filename comply with our media policy. For more information, see the help page.

When categorizing images, please be sure to use a proper image category. These are different from article categories and can be found as subcategories of images by subject and icons.
