Upload the Image
To add a photo or image to a wiki page, you need to first upload the image file to the wiki.
- On left side of the screen, in the toolbox section is the "Upload file" link. Click this to get to the upload page.
- Use the "Browse" button to locate the file you want to upload.
- If needed, change the Destination filename to something simple and descriptive. Avoid names like "Device.gif", and instead use something like "WolffauerDevice.gif"
- The Summary section can be used to describe the image, credit the source and classify the image. The classifications for images most commonly used are:
[[Category:Populace Armorial]] - used for personal and household devices and badges [[Category:Territory Armorial]] - used for local group devices and badges [[Category:Photos]] - used for all photos
Click "Upload file" and the file will be added to the wiki.
Add an Image to a Wiki Page
To put an image on a page you add the following with code:
[[Image:DestinationFile.jpg]]
using the destination file name of the image you with wish to show.
To add a photo or device image to your populace page, find the Populace template on your page:
{{Populace |photo = [[Image:Photo needed.jpg|200px]] |photocaption = Caption Needed |location = |status = |device = [[Image:Device needed.jpg|200px]] |devicecaption = Heraldry Needed |awards = |offices = }}
Replace the place holder file name ("Photo needed.jpg" or "Device needed.jpg") with the destination file name of the image you wish to show. For example:
|device = [[Image:WolffauerDevice.jpg|200px]]
Preview your page, and confirm the that the image shows up. If all is good, save the page.
