Uploading files to this wiki
Please Note - Restrict your file size to 15kB This will speed up page rendering!
At the moment, only graphics file upload ais enable on this wiki. Currently the file-types that will be accepted by the server are .jpg .png and .ogg . These are stored in the wiki database. Should there be enough demand, it is possible to enable other file types.
Guidelines: When naming your files for upload, please use the following syntax yourusername_filename.extension for example VK4YEH_radio1.jpg
This will streamline uploads and ensure that files with the same name are unlikely to occur.
When linking files on pages use the following syntax File:Vk4yeh image file syntax.jpg,
For example this code File:Image file example syntax.jpg
adds the following image to the text.
File:Vk4yeh 0 VK4YEH.jpg
Please click on "edit' to check the syntax if you need to.
Adding your uploaded images to your text
Typically you would upload an image file to the wiki ...before you use the following wiki text to place the image on an article:
| Description | You type | You get |
| Embed image (with alt text) |
|
|
| Link to description page |
|
|
| Link directly to file |
|
|
| Thumbnail (centered, 100 pixels wide, with caption) |
|
|
| Border (100 pixels) Results in a very small gray border |
|
|
| Frameless Like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width but without border and no right float. |

Syntax
The full syntax for displaying an image is:
[[Image:{name}|{options}]]
Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
thumb,thumbnail, orframe: Controls how the image is formattedleft,right,center,none: Controls the alignment of the image on the page{width}px: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels{caption text}- Special cases:
page=1: displays the specified page when showing a djvu file.
The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.
Other files
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.
[http://url.for/some/image.png]
Or with different text:
[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]
This is enabled on this wiki, so you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
http://url.for/some/image.png
Gallery of images
It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <gallery> tag. The syntax is:
<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>
Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
for example:
<gallery> Image:Vk4yeh_0_VK4YEH.jpg|Item 1 Image:Vk4yeh_0_VK4YEH.jpg[[Help:Contents]] Image:Vk4yeh_0_VK4YEH.jpg Image:Vk4yeh_0_VK4YEH.jpg Image:Vk4yeh_0_VK4YEH.jpg|''italic caption'' </gallery>
is formatted as:
Item 1
a link to Help:Contents
italic caption

| row 2 cell 1 | row 2 cell 2 | row 2 cell 3 | |
| row 3 cell 1 | row 3 cell 2 | row 3 cell 3 |
is created by this html code:
