{{HelpToC}} This page will teach you how to upload images and insert them into articles. You must have ''[[:Help:Artists\|permission from the artist]]'' before uploading an image! ~~You will also need to [[:Coppermind: About\|contact the staff]] and ask for editor rights before your account has authorization to upload files.~~ For more details, see Wikipedia's Help page on [[wikipedia: Help: Viewing media\|Images]]. == Uploading Files == === Galleries === {{for\|Help:Gallery subpages\|information on ~~structuring~~creating gallery subpages}} ~~Use galleries to add a series of related images.~~ Use sub-galleries to add a series of related images. Galleries should be created once a page is no longer able to hold more art or has more than at least four pieces of artwork. See link above for in depth explanation of subpage galleries. To add a gallery, first use <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code>. Then, ''on a new line'', enter <code><nowiki>File:FILENAME.EXT</nowiki></code>, where <code>FILENAME.EXT</code> is the filename (and extension) of the file you wish to add to the gallery. Repeat this for all images you wish to add, each on a new line. Finally, use <code><nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code> to complete the gallery. You may add vertical bars (<code>\|</code>) after the individual file names followed by some text, to caption each image. If you wish to center your overall gallery, enter <code><nowiki><center></nowiki></code> before <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></center></nowiki></code> after <code><nowiki></gallery></nowiki></code>. ~~You can use a few different parameters in the first <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag (separated by spaces) to change some aspects of the gallery. Some basic parameters are:~~ ~~; Mode~~ ~~: Use <code>mode=</code> to create an overall aesthetic for the gallery using one of the below paramenters.~~ * <code>traditional</code> Original gallery type used by MediaWiki. * <code>nolines</code> Similar to traditional. No borders, less padding, captions centered under images. * <code>packed</code> All images aligned by having same height, justified, captions centered under images The rows in this responsive mode organize themselves according to the width of the screen. * <code>packed-overlay</code> Like packed, but caption overlays the image, in a translucent box. * <code>packed-hover</code> Like packed-overlay, but caption is only visible on hover. * <code>slideshow</code> Slideshow ~~;Widths~~ ~~: Use <code>widths=</code> followed by a number and "px" to change the default width of all images in the gallery.~~ ~~;Caption~~ ~~: Use <code>caption=</code> followed by some text inside of quotation marks (<code>""</code>) to provide a caption for the gallery.~~ ~~;Images per row~~ ~~: Use <code>perrow=</code> followed by a number to set the number of images that will appear per row. The number of images per row will adjust dynamically with the window size if this is omitted.~~ === Infoboxes ===
