Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place for the thread, but I'm new to the forums and the wiki as well. I'm not entirely sure how to format my character's picture to be the one featured, instead of the default.

If it helps I'm using Deirdre's template for my page. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance.

Hi!

To get a picture in the wiki, use the file upload. You'll get a File:imagename.ext reference to use.

Thank you very much. I've tried it once already, but I must be doing something wrong. I'll try again, just to make sure, though.

I've uploaded the file, but all that displays is a '250 px' in red text. I'm not sure if that means I input the file incorrectly, or if there is a wait period in which the image has to be approved?

Terribly sorry for the noobness of my questions. Once I've gotten this down, I should be able to handle everything else.

Here is a link to the file, if that helps in any way.

When you're editing your wiki, find the line:

| image =

At the end of that line, post your image's complete file name: "File-Kemba'to Brimaz - Closeup.png". Done correctly, it should look like this:

| image = File-Kemba'to Brimaz - Closeup.png

Hopefully that works for you!

Thank you! I finally realized I was adding an unnecessary 'File:' portion into the coding. Everyone's help is greatly appreciated! My mistake >_<'
