Help:Images and media: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 00:04, 15 November 2024

It has been suggested that this page be merged with Help:Files. (Discuss) Proposed since June 2024.

It is possible to add files and media to USApedia. You or another user must usually upload an image before you can use it on a page.

See search file namespaces (Help:Namespace) or a listing of all USApedia files

Images that are stored on USApedia are usually rendered by using the File: namespace prefix (but the legacy Image: namespace prefix is still supported as a synonym) as the target of a MediaWiki link. The alternate Media: namespace prefix is also usable to reference the original media file content (for rendering or downloading it separately, out of any MediaWiki page).
