Help:Images

CAZypedia generally contains two types of image placements in pages:

• Simple pictures without borders or frames, as found on CAZypedia Contributor pages, and
• Figures with legends, as found on various content pages, e.g. GH Family pages.

This page describes how to add an image to a page to maintain a constant "look and feel" across CAZypedia.

Uploading an image

The first step in adding an image to a CAZypedia page is to upload that image to the wiki. This is done through the Special:Upload page, which can be accessed from any CAZypedia page via the "Upload file" link in the "Toolbox" section of the left menu.

1. Go to the Special:Upload page.
2. Click the "Browse" button to locate the image file on your computer.
3. Change the "Destination filename" to something sensible, if it is not already.
4. Adding a summary can be helpful (image source, content, author, etc. Do not upload copyrighted material without permission.).
5. Click the "Upload file" button at the bottom of the page.
6. Make a note of your uploaded image's filename, as you will need this exact name to add the image to a page.

Note: If you forget the filename, uploaded files can be found via one of these two pages:

• File list
• Gallery of new files
