Uploading files

Please consider uploading files to Wikimedia Commons (thereby releasing them to the public domain) instead of here directly. By doing so, you help us keep server costs low, allowing us to remain community-run. Plus, you help everyone by contributing to the digital commons!

If you wish to retain your copyright on a file, upload your media here using the form at Special:Upload.

Including files on pages

You can include images and other media on pages, like this!

To include a file on a page using the Visual Editor, click "Insert" on the toolbar, then "Images and media".

To include a file on a page using the Source Editor, write a link in one of the following forms:

[[File:Wompwomp.png]] to use the full version of the file
[[File:Wompwomp.png|200px|thumb|left|Caption]] to use a 200-pixel-wide rendition in a box in the left margin with the text "Caption" below
[[Media:Wompwomp.png]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the files

Files should generally use the "thumb" format when included on pages.
