MediaWiki:Uploadtext

Please read carefully

 * All files uploaded to finiki.org must be available under a free license (no "fair use" or "noncommercial").
 * If you do not provide source and suitable license information, or if a file is in no way useful for this site, your file will have to be deleted without further notice.
 * There is no need to upload files sourced from Wikimedia Commons. The InstantCommons feature of MediaWiki is enabled on the wiki to allow the usage of any uploaded media file from Wikimedia Commons on this wiki . InstantCommons-enabled wikis cache Commons content so that it is only downloaded once, and subsequent pageviews load the locally existing copy. In this case the wiki behaves like a Wikimedia project, that is, if an image or other media file is referred to which exists on Commons, it can be included in a wiki page like a locally uploaded file by specifying its name. Local filenames take precedence over Commons filenames.

 To upload a file to finiki.org:


 * 1) Choose the source file. Using JPEG format for photographs, GIF for animations, SVG for images with a vector source, and PNG for other images is recommended.
 * 2) Edit the destination filename below. Use a descriptive and concise filename, e.g. Button_darkgrey.jpg instead of IMG_0086273.jpg. You will not be able to change the filename once you've uploaded the file.
 * 3) Provide detailed information on the subject of the image (what is shown) and the source of the file (author, date, source and permission) in the text box. If you made the image by yourself, state this explicitly. If you obtained the image from somewhere on the web, please include the URL where it can be obtained.
 * 4) Select the appropriate license from the dropdown box. Alternatively you can name or add another free license as text to the summary field.

After uploading the file, insert it in relevant pages using the syntax.
