Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.
Important notes
- If you are uploading an image, we recommend you follow the guidelines of The (Image) Collective.
- If your file size is too large, and you need to make it smaller, you can use JPEGmini.
- If you are uploading a new version of an image, the new version may not appear for a while. Try using CTRL+F5 (PC) or Apple + R (Mac) to force a cache refresh on the page. If that doesn't work, wait at least 30 minutes before trying the upload again.
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms
- [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
- [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
- [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
