You'll also want to add a picture of your character to your profile! Our fantastic Image Collective team can help with this. After you've completed training, [https://forums.starbase118.net/topic/13265-read-this-before-requesting-a-graphic/ read this forum thread] and then start a new thread with your request. In a few days you will have a character portrait you can upload to the wiki. | |||
When you're ready, head to the [[Special:Upload|wiki's upload page]] and carefully follow the directions on that page. Do not skip steps! Use these settings: | |||
* '''Destination filename:''' Edit the file name so that it says your character's name after <code>portrait-</code>, like so: "portrait-TristanWolf.png" Make sure you don't accidentally remove the file extension (.png, .jpg, etc.) | |||
* '''Summary:''' <nowiki>[[Category:Character Images]]</nowiki> | |||
Then click Upload File. You should find yourself on a page titled something like <code>File:portrait-TristanWolf.png</code>. | |||
Copy the title and head back to your character page, then click Edit. Look for following code near the top of the page: | |||
<code>|IMAGE = </code> | |||
After the equal sign, paste your file name. Remove the <code>File:</code> prefix. Save the page and your character portrait should appear! | |||
