From The Aquarium Wiki
To add an image to a page on the AquariumWiki you need to do two things.
Contents |
[edit] Step 1
Upload the file so it's deposited on our site.
The upload page takes your original images name and allows you to specify a new one via the 'Destination filename' box. Once you've uploaded it. You can see the name you've used. Copy this name down. Easy to do this if you highlight the text with your mouse and press Ctrl-C to copy it to your clipboard.
- Remember the filename is lettercase sensitive.
[edit] Step 2
Add the name of the file to the page of your choice.
[edit] Adding image to the animal profile
Bring up the page of your choice and click on edit at the very top.
Scroll down the edit box and look for the line where it says "{{Fish data" and below that will be a line like "|image = ".
Remove all text to the right of the equals sign and enter the name exactly as you've given to the uploaded image on the upload page (this may not be the same name as the image you uploaded). This name is lettercase sensitive and can't contain spaces (spaces are turned into "_"). Then preview the page to see if your image is displayed. If you are happy with this, save your edit.
[edit] Adding an image to the body of the page
Bring up the page of your choice and click on edit at the very top. Scroll down to the area you want the image to appear.
Add standard [[Image:Example.jpg]] tag is used (replace Example.jpg with the destination filename you choose of course) or if several is planned then please use the <gallery> tag.
Note: the image will be displayed at full size. To reduce the size try [[Image:Example.jpg|100px]]. The image will now appear 100 pixels across.
For more detail on how to use the [[Image:Example.jpg]] tag - Read this article or for advanced use on the image syntax - Read this.
