Preparing Your Upload

  • 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 TinyJPG (also works on PNGs) first – it's fast and free.
  • Do NOT crop attributions, watermarks or other copyright notices from an image.

Using Your Uploaded File

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

Uploading New Image Versions

If you are uploading a new version of an image, the new version may not appear for a while.

  • 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 &action=purge to the URL of the page you are viewing. For example:

https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=File:Starbase_118_Ops-logo.png&action=purge

  • If you're still not seeing the new image, head to our Discord chat server and ask for help in the #wiki channel.
