Images added to this wiki should be "free-use" when possible - that is, they either are public domain or licensed by the copyright holder under a license that allows anyone to reuse the images. If this is not possible - due to the copyrighted nature of the Super Smash Bros. series and the characters therein, combined with the fact that SmashWiki is not official - then care should be taken to be sure that files are used under a proper fair use justification.
See Help:Image copyright tags for more detail on licenses and how to tag your images.
Uploading
- To upload images, you must be logged in and autoconfirmed.
- Click on "Upload file" in the toolbox on the left (under the search boxes).
- The "Choose file" button lets you find the image on your hard drive. Click "open" to select the file.
- If you want to change the file name, you can do so in the "Destination filename" box.
- Use the "Summary" box to enter the source of the file and the image copyright tag.
- Click "Upload file".
You will be warned if the name will be changed or if there is already a file with that name. You can then decide whether to go ahead or to abandon the upload.
Using images
[[File:Example.jpg]] will give you:
[[File:Example.jpg|50px|]] will give you:
You can make an image a thumbnail an image by adding "thumb" in the same way. If a pipe is there from a previous variable, you don't need to add another:
[[File:Example.jpg|50px|thumb|left|]] will give you:
[[File:Example.jpg|50px|thumb|left|Alt]] will give you:
[[Media:Example.jpg]] will give you: Media:Example.jpg
[[:File:Example.jpg]] will give you: File:Example.jpg
<gallery>
Example.jpg|1
Example.jpg|2
Example.jpg|3
</gallery>
Which will give you:
