Hello all!

 

So I'm taking the first steps into making my character in hopes of roleplaying soon but I've hit a bit of a snafu. I am a total dunce when it comes to my characters wiki page. That being said, I chose what I thought was a nice and simple template, however I have no idea how to insert pictures. Was wondering if someone with a little more expierence would be willing to help my newbie self out.

 

Here is the current wiki page for reference. https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/User:Huckebein

 

Thanks in advance

Hey there!

 

To add a picture onto your wiki, you'll want to upload it first, as it doesn't support hotlinking. You can upload to the wiki by going to https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Special:Upload and adding your file. (I recommend marking "watch this page" so you can easily find them later!) From there, there are a few ways to reference your pictures.
 

Method 1: Calling the file directly

[[File:image_name_you_uploaded.png|thumbnail]]

Method 2: Using the gallery wrapper (best for multiple pictures)

<gallery>
File:Example.jpg|Caption1
File:Example.jpg|Caption2
</gallery>

Method 3: Using a template that already handles pictures

For more details on what you can do with images, check out the main MediaWiki page! We're not on their current release, but wiki features have largely stayed the same and they should all work!
