Before you can add a picture to a page, you need to locate the file or upload the image first. Then you can use the following information to properly embed the image to the page as it benefits the page.

Things to keep in mind

• Just use thumbnails or gallery when displaying multiple pictures, unless you need it big enough to read like maps.
• Having alot of text can become overwhelming when crowded with big pictures.
• Try to use .png format if possible, because then they will be better compatible with the many templates on our wiki and its better quality most of the time.

Uploading Files/Images

When you upload file, you can always find them again on the List of Files uploaded. To make it even easier to locate, add the file to a proper category (help page).

Replacing/Updating images

• If you see a outdated picture, then please use the "Upload a new version of this file" link located on the current file itself to replace it.
  • The new file needs to be the same format, .png can only be replaced by .png files and so on.

Compatible Filenames

These are the current filename setups that will get your images displaying automatically with certain templates.

• Remember that the wiki is Case Sensitive

Filename	Example	Templates that use it
Species_element.png	Aviaa_plant.png	CreatureGallery • ElementsGallery • Creature
Krafties_symbol_element.png	Krafties_symbol_fire.png	Element

If the file you want to use has different name than the template uses by default, then you can usually add "file=filename.png" when using the templates, else there is always a manual on the individual template pages for more details.
