From The Blockheads Wiki

Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.

To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

  • [[File:Image.png]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:Image.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
  • [[:File:Image.png]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file

Please read how to upload images here, as well as our image guidelines.

Upload checklist:

  • Have you given your file an accurate, descriptive name? Make sure that it is in title case and has a lowercase file extension.
  • Does this file, or a similar file, already exist? Duplicate files will be deleted.
  • Is this file a JPG image? JPG images, due to the way they work, have lost quality. Upload PNG files instead, but don't just convert a JPG to a PNG just for the file type.
  • Is this file a GIF image? GIF images generally can only store 256 colors per frame, and are only suitable for animated images. Upload PNG files instead, but don't just convert a GIF to a PNG just for the file type.
  • Did you categorize your file? A category can be added to the image by typing [[Category:<category name>]] at the bottom of the summary.
