Jump to search
- log in to the aeWiki if you are not already logged in
- Click the "Upload file" link in the left navigation bar
- Click the 'browse" button to the right of the "source filename" box, navigate to the image file on your computer and double-click on it (or click on it once to highlight and click the 'open' button)
- The "destination filename" will automatically fill in with the name of the file you uploaded, you can change it however and I recommend doing so to something short and easy to remember like Milesent-portrait.jpg (instead of img032218667856545433.jpg!)
- In the "Summary" field type information about the image, credit the photographer or artist and state whose permission you have to use the photo and add appropriate category [[Category: Portrait Images]] or [[Category:Arms Images]] most often, though there is also [[Category:History Images]]
- Click "Upload File" The file will now upload.
- The top of the uploaded image page has the image name (same as the destination filename you set in step 4) this is what you type to link it on a wiki page.
- You can modify the image when linking For example: [[image:Milesent-portrait.jpg|300px]] the pipe 300px makes the image 300 pixels wide.
