Most help on using images in articles can be found at MediaWiki.org.

Quick start

Files can be uploaded at Special:Upload.

Instant Commons is enabled on this wiki. This means that any file on Wikimedia Commons can immediately be used here.

  • Use an image inline: [[File:Nintendo-3DS-AquaOpen.png]]
  • Use an image inline with a specific width: [[File:Nintendo-3DS-AquaOpen.png|200px]]
    Nintendo-3DS-AquaOpen.png
  • Use an image inline with a specific height: [[File:Nintendo-3DS-AquaOpen.png|200x100px]]

  • Link to a file page directly without embedding the image: [[:File:Nintendo-3DS-AquaOpen.png]]
    File:Nintendo-3DS-AquaOpen.png

Non-image files

This wiki accepts various files that aren't images such as zip, bin, txt, and ini. Linking to these requires no special syntax:

[[File:PicHaxx-ExploitSave-All.dat]]
File:PicHaxx-ExploitSave-All.dat

To link to a file as a direct download:

[[Media:PicHaxx-ExploitSave-All.dat]]
Media:PicHaxx-ExploitSave-All.dat

To link to a file that needs to be downloaded with a specific filename:

[[Special:DownloadWithFilename/File:LumaAlternateYBRosalinaConfig.txt/config.ini]]
Special:DownloadWithFilename/File:LumaAlternateYBRosalinaConfig.txt/config.ini
