Hi!
How do I edit the image that shows up when I share my page's link? Right now it's a Mary Poppins picture, and it has nothing to do with my subject. I never uploaded that picture. Please help.

The problem is I cannot change the thumbnail image that appears when I share the link of my wiki : Click here to see printscreen (2)
(Thank you for looking into this with me.)
It's the preview of the site that appears automatically when I type in the address of my wiki in, for instance, a Facebook post or a messenger conversation.
So this isn't something that actually happens in a wiki? If so, I'm not sure it has anything to do with FANDOM or something under FANDOM's control.
Your best bet is to ask FANDOM staff if they have any idea using "Contact us".
If you copy/paste any link to any wiki on Facebook, you will see a preview with an image and the title of the wiki, as pictured here Click here to see printscreen (2).
You can do it and you will see, if you copy/paste a link and give it a second you will see it.
You are assuming FANDOM is generating that preview image. Most likely Facebook is just pulling the wrong image and nothing you can do on FANDOM will fix it.
Why do you think this isn't a Facebook bug?
I do not know if it is a Facebook bug, but I know I never set a « thumbnail » or « preview » image, so I would think that is the issue.
I tried with the links of other wikis and the image is the proper one, clearly chosen by the makers of the wiki.
So, I guess, it should be the same for me, only I do not know where I find that option.
I have been corresponding with Fandom Support for a couple of days too. And even with them it's hard to get an answer, maybe we have to modify the code of the page manually?
Thank you for trying!

Since the problem sounds like it is with a non-FANDOM web site, it would be hard for them to get an answer.
It's pulling the image from "Explorer les wikis" at the bottom of the page. You have no images on the main page for Facebook to pull instead; try adding one to see if the problem fixes itself.
@Jessypinky, good catch.
Yeah, it is usually good to have a relevant image on your main page, regardless.
