Changes: Help:Adding images

Revision as of 18:19, 6 March 2014

Adding photos is a simple and great way to improve any article, and provide further detail and color.

The instructions below are for the standard Wikia editor. For information on uploading photos using the new VisualEditor, see Help:VisualEditor.

To start, you must log in to your account, and then click the Edit button on the page you would like to add a photo to.
Once in edit mode, click on the photo upload button on the right rail of the editor toolbar.

A pop-up will appear, which will allow you to upload a photo from your computer. You can also search for find photos already added to the wiki by others or on Flickr.com.

Once you choose a photo to add, click upload.
Next you will be able to adjust the size and placement of the photo. You can also provide a caption, which will display below the photo.
If you would like to provide adjust more details about the photo, including a new name and the license information, click on the more options link.

After you have picked your options, click the Add photo button, and your photo will be added to the edit area.
Photos can be modified at any time in edit mode. Simply hover over the image and choose "modify", and the same pop-up window will appear.
Once you are done, click publish and your photo will be live on the page.
