− | + | To add a picture to page, you will have to [[:Special:Upload|upload]] a image file first, or find an existing picture you are looking for. Then you can use the file link to add the image to your page, as a thumbnail or a full picture, depending on how you make the image link. | |
− | + | '''Please use Thumbnails''' when you want to add pictures related to the topic of each page, a big borderless picture is usually only for explanatory purposes. | |
− | |||

− | == | + | ==Thumbnails== |
− | : | + | Thumbnails are for adding pictures relating to the page. |
+ | *'''Thumbnail examples:''' | ||
+ | #<code><nowiki>[[File:Krafties Crafting.png|thumb|left|Description]]</nowiki></code> -''thumbnail will be on the '''left side''''' | ||
+ | #<code><nowiki>[[File:Krafties Crafting.png|thumb|center|Description]]</nowiki></code> -''thumbnail will be in the '''center''''' | ||
+ | #<code><nowiki>[[File:Krafties Crafting.png|thumb|Description]]</nowiki></code> -''thumbnail will be on the '''right side''''' | ||
+ | #<code><nowiki>[[File:Krafties Crafting.png|thumb|100px|center|Description]]</nowiki></code> -''thumbnail will be '''100px wide in the center''''' | ||

− | + | *Thumbnails are on the ''right side'' by default. | |
− | + | *'''Text wraps around thumbnails''', that includes Headings.Unless the image is center. | |
− | + | *Biggest thumbnail by default is 220px | |
+ | *The format of the link should always be <nowiki>[[</nowiki>'''File'''|'''Commands'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki>. So as long as the Command is in there, the order of them doesn't matter, ''center/thumb/100px'' | ||
+ | *To place a thumbnail on the left without text wrapping, use ''none'' instead of ''left'' (example:<code><nowiki>[[File:Krafties Crafting.png|thumb|none|Description]]</nowiki></code>) | ||
− | + | [[File:Krafties Crafting.png|thumb|left|ThumbExample '''Left''']] | |

− | : | + | ==Framed== |
+ | [[File:Felion.jpg|frame||Framed, displays picture in native size]] '''Framed''' is like a mix between plain picture and thumbnail. | ||
+ | *It displays the image in native size, with a border and description same as the thumbnails, but it does not have the resize button next to the description. | ||
+ | *Framed picture is on the ''right'' by default, and text wraps around. | ||
+ | **<code><nowiki>[[File:Felion.jpg|FRAME|Description]]</nowiki></code> -''will display picture in it's native size by default, similar to plain picture, just framed'' | ||

− | * [[ | + | Plain pictures are only for explanatory purposes, as part of the text (not just referring to the topic, but specific parts of the page) |
+ | |||
+ | *Plain picture examples: | ||
+ | **<code><nowiki>[[File:Krafties Crafting.png]]</nowiki></code> -''will be on the left side, no text wrap'' | ||
+ | *Plain images are on the ''left side'' by default. | ||
+ | *Plain pictures display no caption/description. | ||
+ | *Plain pictures are native size by default, the following picture has been shrunk to <code>500 px</code> | ||
+ | [[File:Krafties Crafting.png|500px|]] *Text does not wrap by default. Plain pictures are in a line (so one line of text can be next to it) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Uploading== | ||
+ | When you '''[[:Special:Upload|upload file]]''', you can find them again on the [[Special:ListFiles|List of Files uploaded]]. | ||
+ | ===Replacing/Updating File=== | ||
+ | *When you wish to replace a picture with a better one for whatever reason (''better quality or updating'') then simply find the original file and "'''upload newer version of this file'''" | ||
+ | ::Please do this to avoid having duplicates of the same picture, the wiki does notice duplicates | ||
+ | *You can only replace pictures with the same format file (''example:<code>.jpg</code> cannot be replaced with a <code>.png</code>'') | ||
