  • To use an image in a page, first upload the image by clicking the Upload File link in the toolbox panel on the left. Acceptible image formats are jpg, gif, and png. An image link that has no file uploaded by that name will appear in red.
  • Ideally when naming the images, name them as they are in game (with spaces). This allows them to be uniformly referenced, and it is easier to avoid duplicating image uploads. The wiki will automatically add underscores to replace the spaces, however when referencing the image, you can still use spaces. For example, "Image Small.jpg" will automatically be made into "Image_Small.jpg" by the wiki, but can still be referenced as "Image Small.jpg" in your pages.
  • Please keep uploaded images under 75K in size, the smaller the better.
  • The simplest way to display an image is [[Image:Image Small.jpg]]. This displays the image with no text wrapping and aligned on the left.

  • There are a few qualifiers that can be added to adjust how the image is displayed. Seperate qualifers with a pipe (|), anything that is not a qualifier will be assumed to be caption text (only displayed if the "frame" qualifier is present):
    • Adding an alignment qualifer allows text and other images to wrap alongside the image: left, center, or right

([[Image:Image Small.jpg|left]]) ([[Image:Image Small.jpg|center]]) ([[Image:Image Small.jpg|right]])
