Flipping/Inverting an Image
How would one flip, or invert, a picture in-wikia without having to upload a new version of the picture flipped? As this is redundant, I want to simply use code to alter the picture's display, as if to use the same image twice only have them facing one another? Thanks!

 * Unfortunately, I do not think MediaWiki includes that ability, so you will still have to do it manually. Kirkburn (talk) 15:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Fit to Screen
Basically if you visit http://www.userdirectory.co.uk, if you have widescreen that this OK you view the photo and articles clearly, but if you have normal screen then image can not be viewed fully, you have to drag to the right to see it. How do I Fit an Image to the Screen Size. Xxxsacheinxxx 19:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * MediaWiki, as far as I know, does not have the ability to dynamically resize images, so you will have to design articles around different resolutions. Kirkburn (talk) 21:14, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Help:File?
Is there a change that requires us now to have a page called Help:File?

I've just copied a Mediawiki file to Genealogy. Its name starts with "File:", though I didn't ask for that. When I tried to link to it in the normal manner with anything that's not a category or an image ("See "), the image displayed. Needs a colon in front.

And on one Wikia recently I noticed that there is a namespace called "File" and none called "Image".
