After uploading an image, a page will be created for it named <code><nowiki>File:FILENAME.EXT</nowiki></code>, where <code>FILENAME.EXT</code> is the filename (and extension) you provided. You can find a searchable list of all uploaded files at [[:Special:ListFiles]] (there's a link to it on the upload page). The file page is where people will usually land when they click on your imagine in an article.
Please include an infobox beneath the file description -- generally you'll want to use the {{t|art}} template for this -- and add any relevant categories. Just look for a similar file if you need some guidance on this.
;Art Template {{t|art}}
:* <code>type=</code> followed by any categories that the image fits into.
:* ''Note:'' <code>artist=</code> and <code>source=</code> are required. Other parameters may be omitted if irrelevant.
;Cover template {{t|cover}}
: If you're uploading a book cover, use the {{t|cover}} template instead. It has a number of parameters, which you can see on the template's page, but the necessary ones are:
:* <code>book=</code> followed by the book that the cover comes from.
:* <code>artist=</code> followed by the name (and, if they have a page here, the page) of the artist who created the cover art
:* <code>country=</code> followed by the country the cover was first used in
:* <code>source=</code> followed by a reference to the source of the artwork, as with the {{t|art}} template
Don't worry about getting this all right first time--the wiki staff will most definitely review all files uploaded and their respective information. If you don't understand how to use the {{t|art}} template, please at least ''add a brief description'' including the artist's name and a link to where you found the image.
