Draft
editIdeas
editUploading an image in four (not quite easy :/ ) steps:
- Choose an image
- Image needs to be
"free""open"- Meaning of "free" has to be clear about copyleft, hence note "open" instead
- If it's yours, you can make it free, it's yours to do whatever you want with
- If not, you need to be sure it's already free
- Ignore the fair-use case? Complicated, but relevant to wikis where it's applicable.
- Image needs to be
- Go to upload page
- Select file on your computer
- Fill in applicable license. If yours and not sure, CC-BY-SA a safe bet, same as for your text contributions
- Fill in template with information about it:
- Information in template goes after each |parameter=
- A basic description: who, what, where, when, perhaps how
- Who made it (if you, write your name the way you want to be credited!)
- What license
- Any special notes
- Hit the upload submit button
- Edit as necessary, whenever
- Include your image in an article using [[File:Example.png|thumb|I can has a caption]]
- Only go into easy "thumb" method, image syntax is confusing!
