If you need help with this, please contact an [[Special:Listadmins|administrator]] ''before'' uploading.<p>If a file with the name you are specifying alreadyexists on the wiki, it'll be replaced without warning.So unless you mean to update a file, it's a good ideato first check if such a file exists.<p>To view or search previously uploaded images,go to the <a href="{{localurle:[[Special:Imagelist}}">|list of uploaded images</a>]].Uploads and deletions are logged on the <a href="{{localurle:[[Project:Upload_log}}">|upload log</a>]].</p><p>Use the form below to upload new image files for use inillustrating your pages.On most browsers, you will see a "Browse..." button, which willbring up your operating system's standard file open dialog.Choosing a file will fill the name of that file into the textfield next to the button.''You must also check the box affirming that you are notviolating any copyrights by uploading the file.'' Press the "Upload" button to finish the upload.This may take some time if you have a slow internet connection.<p>The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, PNGfor drawings and other iconic images, and OGG for sounds.Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion.To include the image in a page, use a link in the form<b>'''[[{{ns:6}}:file.jpg]]</b> ''' or <b>'''[[{{ns:6}}:file.png|alt text]]</b>''' or <b>'''[[{{ns:-2}}:file.ogg]]</b> ''' for sounds.<p>Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit ordelete your uploads if they think it serves the project, andyou may be blocked from uploading if you abuse the system.<p><b>'''PLEASE FURTHER NOTE:</b> ''' Make sure that your image name is something which indicates its contents. "100.jpg" or "Festival1.gif" are not descriptive enough, but "John Jones.jpg" is. Do not use '''&''' as a character in the filename.
