:It is currently set at 5 MB - it should tell you on the file upload window: "Maximum file size: 5 MB". Of course, it is preferable for files to be as small as is reasonable, to save bandwidth. Your user rights makes no difference. [[w:User:Kirkburn|Kirkburn]] ([[w:User_talk:Kirkburn|talk]]) <staff/> 13:41, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Uploading fonts==
I have a font i wanted to upload, is it possible to do this? And how do i implement it? Or is there a list of fonts available? Any help would be hot.--[[User:My Name Is Tom|My Name Is Tom]] 05:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

:For most browsers, they can ''only'' use fonts that are already present on the users computer. This unfortunately means that you can't upload a font and use it for your wiki's design. Also, note that many well known fonts do not have licenses that allow them to be shared on wikis. [[w:User:Kirkburn|Kirkburn]] ([[w:User_talk:Kirkburn|talk]]) <staff/> 15:57, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

== Where do my "Preferences" mention this? ==

The page says "An additional method is the image placeholder. Unless you have chosen not to see these in your preferences, many articles are created with image placeholders. " I've looked in vain under Appearance and Misc and Gadgets. Where should I look? -- [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] ([[User talk:Robin Patterson|Talk]]) 02:33, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Can you upload photos on wiki from google.com

==OGG Vorbis Audio only?==

so, as my mind was thinking through some of wikia's possible classed problems, my mind skipped over to the audio/video uploading problems with only allowing OGG Vorbis style objects, mainly because of how much a niche they are in comparison to the MP3/MP4 files.

Then my mind remembered the HTML5.0 &lt;Audio&gt; and &lt;Video&gt; tags. this would help cure the possible problem with wikia's only being allowed to use OGG Vorbis files, and also allow users of those wikia's to implement sounds and videos with more than just OGG Vorbis or MP3/MP4 file types.

So, I'm wondering, are the Wikia administrators planning on implementing the &lt;Audio&gt; and &lt;Video&gt; HTML5.0 tags? if you aren't, then don't worry too much, but if you are, then sweet.

if you've read all of that, then a huge thanks, [[w:c:hopeless-romeo:User:Kingemocut |<span style="color:#990000">Breaking Benjamin?</span>]][[w:c:hopeless-romeo:Message_Wall:Kingemocut |<span style="color:#00ffff"><big>well, enjoy the silence.</big></span>]] ([http://kingemocut.weebly.com my website]) 08:35, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

== I can't uploade PDF file. ==

I upload pdf file.
But system says "Forbidden file type upload".
but allowed file types has "pdf".
...???

I don't enough time now.
So, I said Administrator this later.

== Changing image name ==

How should I change the name of an image?

== Maximum size of pics ==

I really hope that you will be able to raise the number to 20 MB one day. There is a problem with downloading high-quality PNG images. They are usually large by themselves; it is inconvenient to reduce them several dozen times each time just to upload.
