Help:Editing/Images

Always place an image of the person, place, or thing this article is about as a thumbnail, at the top, on the right side. See the section of this article called "Adding images" to see how that's done.

Adding images

To add an image, use the following.

[[Image:yourpicturefile.jpg|thumb|Put information about the picture here]]

Shared files database

Please note that all IntactiWiki articles in all localized IntactiWiki instances should use shared images, wherever possible. Therefore, all IntactiWiki instances use an IntactiWiki Pool instance, where all images are stored. They can be used from all Intactiwiki instances without any reference to the Pool at all. The Pool itself must not be used for placing articles there.

Interwiki images

The Interwiki extension is being used in the Intactiwiki, too, which allows using e.g. Wikipedia images as if they were part of the IntactiWiki themselves. You don't have to add more code in most cases.

Copyrights checked?

Before you upload any file (image, PDF, etc.) to the IntactiWiki pool or commit it to the WikiAdmin for upload, make sure that this file may be used under the copyright settings of the IntactiWiki. Short version: The file must be free of copyrights in any form which could cause the IntactiWiki to pay someone for using the files.
