Sunshine Review:Upload

From Sunshine Review

Before uploading images at Special:Upload, make sure you read and follow this image use policy. Please note that most images you might find on the Internet are copyrighted and not appropriate for uploading to Sunshine Review. If you did not create the image, or are unable or unwilling to verify its copyright status, do not upload the image. For hints on how to find images appropriate for uploading, see Wikipedia's finding images tutorial. It might also be helpful to read Wikipedia's preparing images for upload.

[edit] How to upload a new image

Only Logged in users can upload images.

You can upload an image by using the Upload file link in the toolbox, which is a link to Special:Upload. On most browsers, you will see a "Browse..." button, which will bring up your operating system's standard file open dialog. Choosing a file will fill the name of that file into the text field next to the button. Press the "Upload" button to finish the upload.

[edit] Find previously uploaded images

• To view or search images previously uploaded directly to Sunshine Review, go to the list of uploaded images.
• Uploads and deletions are logged on the upload log.

Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit or delete your uploads if they think it serves Sunshine Review to do so, and you may be blocked from uploading if you abuse the system.

[edit] Adding images to articles

To make your uploaded file appear in an article, you need to insert it: edit the article and add the syntax

[[Image:Image name|thumb|Caption]]

where you want the file to appear.

Important: Image names are case-sensitive. For example, if an image is called Picture.jpg then neither picture.jpg nor Picture.JPG will find it.

[edit] Mini HowTo

The Upload file screen has three fields.

The Source filename field with the browse button allows you to choose a file on your local system. The Destination filename is the name used to link to the image from articles. If JavaScript is enabled, it will be set automatically to the same name as the one you have specified in the Source filename field, but may be changed to any valid name you wish. For the convenience of non-JavaScript users, if the destination field is left blank, source filename will be used.

The Summary field appears below the image on an image page, and allows Wiki markup. Here you should include a brief description of the image you're uploading.
