Spanking Art:How to upload your own images
From Spanking Art
Follow these steps if you are a new user and want to put your own images into the wiki:
Part 1: Uploading your image
- Your image must be in JPG, GIF or PNG format and you must be the copyright holder (e.g. it must be your own drawing or photo).
- Create a user name and log in. Uploading files is only enabled for logged-in users.
- Click on "Upload image/file" in the "toolbox" to the left. Or just click here. Tip: open the link in a new browser tab or window so you can switch between this tutorial and the upload page.
- Browse for the image file on your computer.
- Change the destination filename to a meaningful filename (e.g. instead of img003.jpg use a name such as Yourname-teddy-bear-spanked.jpg).
- You can use space, dash, underscore and other special characters in the filename.
- In the box "Summary" enter something like: "Drawing of a teddy bear spanking, by Yourname (2007)."
- For advanced users: Please use wiki markup such as link brackets and also enter the appropriate category in the summary.
- In the box "Licensing", select the license you want to use. If you are unsure, select GFDL or CC-BY-SA. Note: you must not leave the license information empty, or your file is subject to deletion. See our Image use policy for more on this topic.
- Click the "Upload file" button.
- If a warning shows up that the file is bigger than 150K, select "save anyway".
- If a warning shows up that a file of the same name exists, check if you really want to overwrite the file. If not, go back and change your destination filename.
- Your image is now ready to be used in the wiki!
Part 2: Using your image in wiki articles
- In another browser tab or window, navigate to the article where you want to add the image.
- Click on "edit" to edit the article.
- Navigate the cursor to the section where you want to insert the image. In doubt, insert the image at the very top.
- Create a new line and enter [[Image:file.jpg|thumb|caption]]. Note the double square brackets and the two pipe characters. Replace "file.jpg" by the actual filename (you can copy and paste it from the image page). Leave the keyword "thumb" as it is (this creates a thumbnail image) and replace "caption" by a meaningful caption.
- Example: [[Image:Spankart correction on the sofa.jpg|thumb|''Correction on the sofa'', drawing by Spankart (2004).]]
- In the field "Summary", enter a summary such as "image inserted" or "+image".
- Click the "Show preview" button and preview your edit.
- If everything looks good and you are satisfied with your edit, click on "Save page".
- You're done!
There are also other ways in which you can put an image on a page (e.g. centered or in a gallery format), but for most cases, the simple format described above is best. If you need help at any stage, feel free to ask Spankart.
