Help:Avatars

You can upload an avatar to represent yourself on the wiki. It will appear in several locations, and gives users another way to give themselves an identity.

Step by step


To upload an avatar for your profile:


 * 1) Save your chosen image to your computer (if it is not saved there already).
 * 2) Go to your preferences.
 * 3) Click "Browse" and navigate to the file on your computer you want to use, then "Open."
 * 4) Scroll down to the bottom of Special:Preferences and click "Save".
 * 5) Enjoy your new avatar!

Note that your image must be a jpeg, png, or gif, and it must be less than 100kb in size.

After you upload your new avatar, you can switch back to one of the default ones by clicking on one of them or choosing a new non-default image and hitting "Save."

Avatar locations
Your avatar will show up on:


 * The header at the top of your userpage.
 * In the "Edited by" banner beneath a page title on an article where you were the last person to edit.
 * On the answer page of any question you ask or answer on an answers wiki.
 * A couple of other places, especially on wikis with special profile tools.

Choose your avatar wisely!
