Forum:How to do an image dump?

Just wanna know how to make one.


 * If you mean upload multiple images, you can use PyWikipediaBot's example script (direct link to download). You just put all the images you want in a single folder and put in your username, password, and wiki. If you mean taking images off a wiki to another wiki, just open the folder and drag each image to the folder, then use PyWikipediaBot.

 * My sig breaks on most wikis. I don't really understand how to use the bot, is there another way? Admin.jpg angchunwangAdmin.jpg 02:05, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

 * You can use Special:MultipleUpload for uploading a large quantity of images quickly. (Use it on your own wiki instead of Community Central)
 * But it's much faster to use a free imagehoster like imageshack.us or like that if you simply want to have a number of images available on your site.


 * Important to notice is that you should ALWAYS add the source of the image, and if it is free to use (open license) or fair use (someone else is copyright holder, but you are discussing what is on the picture at the page you are posting the picture on). Terms of Use make that mandatory.
 * The issue with your signature is that it links to a file on your main wiki, without the URL. Since the wiki all have their own seperate images you will have to link to the file directly using the URL. In the case of the admin file: http://kixeye.wikia.com/wiki/File:Admin.jpg (altough i would not recommend using two different images admin as your signature)
 * I wanna know how to delete images from a wiki, and not from a page but from the wiki itself?2years-too-young 21:26, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * You delete images the same way you delete a page. Go to the image page and click the delete button (which is in the same place as it is when you delete pages). 22:08, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
