Uploading Your Own Image or PDF File
If you have been previously approved, you will be allowed to upload images or PDF files into the Research Wiki. Most Wiki patrons will submit images by going to the Research Wiki sidebar then clicking on "Upload File/Image" in the Edit the Wiki section. Their request will go through Salesforce for review and upload.

1. Select an image or PDF file



 * Make sure the image fits within Wiki policies for image use.
 * Size of image 5 MB or less (preferably 2 MB, as high a quality as possible)
 * Again, the permitted file types: png, jpg, jpeg, doc, xls, ppt, bmp, pdf, pptx, docx, xlsx, gif.
 * Copyright free or creative commons and meets content criteria


 * Save image to a file on your computer. (It is recommended you set aside a separate folder just for these images so they don't get mixed up with your personal images.)

2. Uploading images
We will cover each in turn.
 * Be sure you are logged in to Research Wiki
 * From the Research Wiki sidebar on the left side of the page, click on Upload file under Tools.
 * The "Upload file" page will appear.
 * Note that there are three "boxes" on the Upload file page:
 * Source file = allows you to choose the file you want to upload into the Wiki.
 * File description = allows you to rename the file, add the required descriptions, and select the licensing.
 * Upload options = allows you to choose how the file is to be handled.

3. Choose an image to upload

 * In the  Source file  box, click on the Choose File button.
 * Search your computer for the image you want to upload into Wiki, then click the Open button.
 * If the Wiki found your image in your computer, a thumbnail copy of it will appear to the right of the "Choose File" button.



4. Add description to your image

 * In the  File description  box are three sub-boxes: Destination filename, Summary, and Licensing.



Destination filename:

 * Upon initial upload, the Destination filename will display the Source filename. You may want to change the name to be more descriptive and to make the image easier to search and find in Wiki.
 * Do not change the extension; leave it as it is. For example ".png"

Summary:

 * Copy and paste the following coding into the Summary box:


 * After the equal sign for each line, type in the appropriate information about the image.
 * Description Give brief description of image or document.
 * Source. Give the title, and other source information, especially the Internet URL, and any additional sources cited in your source. If possible, go to the most original source and cite it.
 * Date. Give the date the image was created (not the date you uploaded it), or if that information is lacking, give the date the image was uploaded in the source where you found it.
 * Author. Give credit to the person who created the image. In some cases this will be an Internet user-name, in which case please give us the user's Internet site as well, for example, "Wikipedia user."
 * Permission. If no item in the license drop down menu does not apply or another explanation would be better, enter it here.
 * Replace Name of category with an approved category name. All images uploaded into Wiki require that a category be added. If you do not know the correct category, leave it blank. A Wiki Support staff will add one for you. Example:

Licensing:

 * Click on down arrow in Licensing box
 * Select from drop down menu the license that may control the image use.

5. Select your upload options

 * Watch this file: If marked, the page created in Wiki will be added to your watchlist.
 * Ignore any warnings: If unmarked and there is a problem with the upload, no warning will be displayed.

6. Upload the image

 * Click the Upload file button at the bottom of the page.

The image will now appear on a separate page with the file name across the top of the page. This is the reference you will use to "embed" the image. for example: Handcart pioneers.jpg 

Embedding an image
  Your image will now be only 200 pixels wide.
 * All images are uploaded into an "assigned" space in the Research Wiki website. The process of placing the image onto a page (sandbox or article) is called embedding.
 * You can embed the image anywhere on a page using the following code:
 * The size of the image will appear on a Wiki page in the size it was uploaded. To restrict the size, place a pipe and the size you want the image to be, in pixels, after the name of the image.


 * If you want to place the image on the right side of the page instead of the default position (on the left), put another pipe and the word "right."

Embedding a PDF file

 * Like an image, a PDF file links is an "internal link." You can place the link to the PDF file anywhere on a page with the following coding:


 * Notice the magic word Media instead of the word File or Image.
 * Here is the actual link to this PDF file: [[Media:Lubbock TX FHC Library Catalog.pdf|Lubbock Texas FHC library catalog]]
