Help:Image uploads
Return to QSMP Wiki help page.
This page is for explaining how to upload images to the wiki.
Image uploads
Images have to be uploaded to the wiki before they can be embedded in a separate page. Every image has its own page, which can be referenced in as many other pages as you want.
Single images
To upload an image to the wiki:
- You must be in desktop view. Go to the sidebar and click "Upload file" under the Tools section. This will take you to the special page for uploading files.
- From downloaded images: Browse your storage for the image that you want to add. For the file name, please be descriptive (for example, for a picture of Aypierre's Gegg statue the file name would be something like AypierreGeggStatue.jpg). Include a brief image description and where it came from in the Summary section. You can deselect "Watch this file" if you don't want to have it show up in your Watchlist. Then, click Upload file.
- From URL: Select the button next to "Source URL" and paste the URL into the text box. It must be from a public URL: Discord attachments, images on private accounts, and basically anything that you would need to log in to something to see will not work. Name and describe the file and then click Upload File. It will reload the page with a fixed version of the file name, adding the suffix automatically. Then click Submit modified file description.
- From downloaded images: Browse your storage for the image that you want to add. For the file name, please be descriptive (for example, for a picture of Aypierre's Gegg statue the file name would be something like AypierreGeggStatue.jpg).

Bulk image uploading
To upload multiple images at once you must be on desktop in source editor. At the top of the toolbar there should be an icon that looks like this: 
. Clicking on this will bring up your file finder. You can now select multiple images for uploading and they will appear in a list at the top of the editing box. You can edit their names here but not the dot file type, so if your image names do not match their file type this method will not work. Please ensure that they are named correctly before uploading them by clicking "Upload these files" at the bottom of the list.
You can also drag and drop files into the gray bar below the source editor's toolbar that says "Drop files here."
Troubleshooting
Detected file type doesn't match name
If you are getting this error try uploading the image via the "Upload file" method and manually change the dot file type suffix to match what the wiki thinks the image type is.
Rate limits
If you are unable to upload images due to rate limits there is an easy workaround. Create a user page and notify an admin that you have done so. They will then give you the "confirmed users" role, allow you to bypass rate limits and captchas.
