Talk:Main Page

From Dyos Wiki

The updated MediaWiki platform no longer allows hotlinking images, but fortunately we can now directly upload files. The syntax for application is: [[Image:<image>|<justification> (left, right, center, or blank for default)|alt= (alternate text; not sure what this does)|caption]] (see my recent edits for examples). I'll take care of the infoboxes once the dust has settled, as these may require a little extra fine-tuning in order to work.

For now, upload images in their target resolution. Until the server stabilizes I don't want to muck about with thumbnail resizing. Also, after submitting an upload, check the Recent Changes page to see if it successfully uploaded, as I have encountered internal server errors although the image was saved.

Finally, Wikipedia is your friend.
