Help:Managing files

From PLN

You can upload certain types of files to PLN. This is particularly useful for uploading images you want to use in an article, but you can also upload other types of file.

Upload a file

Prepare the file for upload. Make sure the file is exactly as you want it. Think about how big the file is.
In the sidebar, under toolbox, click "Upload file"
Next to the Source filename, click Browse to locate the file on your computer.
Change the Destination filename to something descriptive, if necessary.
Fill in the Summary, if necessary.
Click the Upload file button.

If this is a large file, you may need to wait several seconds for the upload to complete.

Using Images and Image Description Pages

After you've uploaded a file, you can use it an article with special syntax to create the link. See Help:Images.

Your file gets its very own 'Image Description Page' within PLN (even if it isn't an image). You should edit this page to provide more information about the file. For example, copyright is an issue for many images, so you should explain where you got the file from, and what its copyright status is, on the description page. Add any other useful descriptive notes.
