Use this form to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.

When updating a file to the same name please be patient before it appears to the viewers and even you. The cache fools you, but when you see your proper upload in the history it should be OK. Just wait a little bit...

To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
  • [[:File:File.jpg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file

If the file is from xkcd or includes content from there, choose an option from the drop-down menu below. Otherwise, note the file's source and copyright status in the "Summary" field.


Copyright violations will be deleted.
