Use the form below to upload files, but read this entire page first.

===Preparing Your Upload===
* [[The (Image) Collective: Image Upload Directions|This useful guide from The (Image) Collective]] will help you prepare to upload images for use on the wiki. 
* To help us optimize images for size, run your image through [https://tinyjpg.com/ TinyJPG] (also works on PNGs) first – it's fast and free.
* <font color=red>'''Do NOT crop attributions, watermarks or other copyright notices from an image.'''</font>
* <font color=red>'''If you are uploading an AI-generated image, you MUST note that it is AI art in the summary!'''</font> In addition:
** Images and art created by the Image Collective are '''prohibited''' from being used as training data for AI/machine-learning generated art tools.
** Individual works created by Starbase 118 members are also prohibited from being used '''unless provided explicit written permission by the creator'''.

===Using Your Uploaded File===
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

* '''<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:file}}<nowiki>:File.jpg]]</nowiki></tt>''' to use the full version of the file
* '''<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:file}}<nowiki>:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]</nowiki></tt>''' to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
* '''<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:media}}<nowiki>:File.ogg]]</nowiki></tt>''' for directly linking to the file without displaying the file

* Try clearing your browser cache: CTRL+F5 (PC) or CMD+R (Mac)
* If that doesn't work, try purging the wiki's page cache by adding <code>&action=purge</code> to the URL of the page you are viewing. For example:
<code><nowiki>https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=File:Starbase_118_Ops-logo.png</nowiki>'''&action=purge'''</code>
* If you're still not seeing the new image, head to our [https://chat.starbase118.net/ Discord chat server] and ask for help in the #wiki channel.
