This wiki relies on images to help illustrate topics. Images can be very helpful sometimes.

Copyrights and licenses

Be a proper noble and avoid images you don't truly have the permissions to use. Instead, look for images with a reuseable license or take your own pictures. Places with resuseable pictures include

  • Google Images, which has an option to search only for reuseable images
  • Creative Commons Search, which finds resources licensed under CC.
  • Wikimedia Commons, a gallery of free-to-reuse content that the Wikimedia project holds.

Uploading images

Don't link directly to an image elsewhere on the web. That's rude. Instead, host it here on the wiki, using the Special:Upload link, which you can find in the tools section of the sidebar. It should be your own photo or one that is free to reuse. Write the credits to the image in the file description when you're uploading it.

Formatting images

Trust me, search the web.
