This is particularly useful for uploading images, which you want to place on an article, but you can also upload other types of files.<br /> <br /> ==Upload a file==<br /> # Prepare the file for upload. Make sure the file is exactly as you want it.<br /> # In the [[Help:Navigation#Sidebar|sidebar]], under “{{lcfirst:{{int:toolbox}}}}”, click “'''{{int:upload}}'''.”<br /> # Click “'''Browse'''” next to the “'''{{int:sourcefilename}}'''” to locate the file on your computer (the name of the “browse” button depends on your web browser).<br /> # Change the “'''{{int:destfilename}}'''” to something descriptive, if necessary.<br /> # Fill in the “'''{{int:filedesc}}'''”, if necessary.<br /> # Click the “'''{{int:uploadbtn}}'''” button.<br /> <br /> If it is a large file, you may need to wait several seconds for the upload to complete.<br /> <br /> == Using images and file description pages ==<br /> After you've uploaded a file, you can use it in an article, with some special wiki syntax to create the link. See [[Help:Images]].<br /> <br /> Your file gets its very own “file description page” within the {{ns:image}} [[Help:Namespaces|namespace]] of the wiki. You should edit this page to provide more information about the file. For example, many public wiki projects are quite sensitive to copyright issues, and so you should explain where you got the file from, and what its copyright status is, on the description page. Any other useful descriptive notes could also be added there.<br /> <br /> == List of files in the wiki ==<br /> There are a number of special pages to help you view and manage files which have been uploaded. Go to “{{int:specialpages}}” (in the {{lcfirst:{{int:toolbox}}}} on the left) and then see...<br /> <br /> * [[Special:Newimages|{{int:newimages}}]] - If you just uploaded one, you will see it here. <br /> * [[Special:Imagelist|{{int:listfiles}}]] - Shows all of the files.<br /> * [[Special:Unusedimages|{{int:unusedimages}}]] - Helps you track down files which might not be needed.<br /> <br /> See [[Help:Special pages]] for details of the other information available here.<br /> <br /> {{Languages}}<br /> [[Category:Help|Managing files]]<br /> [[Category:Upload]]</div>

<p>Abani79: Rejected the last text change (by Behnamfirozi) and restored revision 552386 by John Broughton</p> <hr /> <div>{{PD Help Page}}<br /> It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki. It only takes a few clicks.<br /> <br /> # Click the &quot;'''{{int:edit}}'''&quot; [[Help:Navigation#Page Tabs|page tab]] at the top of the page.<br /> # Make changes to the text.<br /> # Click the &quot;'''{{int:savearticle}}'''&quot; button.<br /> <br /> Simple as that!<br /> <br /> == Editing rules, editing conventions, and formatting ==<br /> The number one rule of wiki editing is to '''be bold'''. Dive in and make changes. Other people can correct mistakes later, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of wiki pages, but the &quot;be bold&quot; rule overrides these!<br /> <br /> An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the contents of the wiki.<br /> <br /> When you need to use some type of formatting, such as for a new headings or bolding of text, you do this using wiki syntax or the buttons in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Edit_toolbar edit toolbar] above. See [[Help:Formatting]] for some of the common types of formatting used.<br /> <br /> == Edit Summary ==<br /> Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the '''{{int:summary}}''' box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it, but try to give a little description of what you just changed e.g. &quot;''fixed typo''&quot; or &quot;''added more information about sunflowers''&quot;.<br /> <br /> The summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to [[Help:Tracking changes|track changes]] in the wiki more effectively.<br /> <br /> == Preview ==<br /> It's a good idea to use the &quot;'''{{int:showpreview}}'''&quot; button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to [[Help:Tracking changes|tracking changes]] because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving several minor corrections afterwards.<br /> <br /> ==Show changes==<br /> Another option is the &quot;'''{{int:showdiff}}'''&quot; button which allows you to see the differences between the current version and your edited version.<br /> <br /> == Other types of editing ==<br /> With wiki edits you can start a new page, move (or rename) a page, or even delete a page:<br /> * [[Help:Starting a new page]]<br /> * [[Help:Moving a page]]<br /> * [[Help:Deleting a page]]<br /> Remember you should always aim to improve the overall contents of the wiki with your edits.<br /> <br /> == Discussion ==<br /> Every article has its own “talk page” where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections. See [[Help:Talk pages]] <br /> <br /> {{Languages}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Edit]]<br /> [[Category:Help|{{PAGENAME}}]]</div>
