This is a short list to quickly highlight the principles when using images in the wiki. For a detailed help see the Mediawiki Help on Images.

  1. First thing you do is to edit the page where you want to use a picture. Do the uploading later.
  2. The table below gives you an overview on the layout options you have when including images.
  3. Once you edited and saved your page you have a greyed out image link like this one File:Not yet existant image.png. If you click on it it will direct you to the upload page. Where you can Upload the yet missing File. Make sure you upload a reasonable file size and resolution so it can also be used for printing at a later point.
