Uploading Images
You are welcome to take a photograph of your building or the inside of your center to add to your page. (Do not include living people in the photograph.)


 * 1) All images must be previewed and uploaded by missionaries in behalf of the community to make sure they are appropriate for all viewers.
 * 2) To submit a photograph of your center to FamilySearch Wiki for approval, use the Submitting images for approval wiki article. It includes the process of submitting the images and photographs.
 * 3) You should receive an email from Wiki Support letting you know your image was approved. If you do not get an email, check the Wiki after 48 hours to see if your image has been uploaded.

Placing Images
Once the image has been uploaded to the Wiki data base, you will need to place it on the page. There are two ways to do this:

Using VisualEditor: The procedure is detailed in the VisualEditor page. Using Wikitext: The procedure is detailed in the Wikitext Images

Linking to PDF Handouts
If you have class handouts that have been uploaded to the wiki, you can link directly to the handout so the PDF automatically opens when a patron clicks on the link. Here are the steps to create a link to a PDF file: Here are the steps abreaviated:
 * 1) You have to know the name of the PDF file, such as: File:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf
 * 2) Next, change the word "File" to "Media" so it looks like this: Media:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf
 * 3) Then, place double opening and closing square brackets (  and  ) on either end of this link, like so: [[Media:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf]]
 * 4) When you place this coding on a page, it will appear like this: [[Media:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf]]
 * 5) If you would like to have a better title than the name of the link, you can add after "pdf" a pipe character ("|", usually shift key plus backslash key) along with the name of the PDF file you would like to your patrons see, such as, "Beginning Research Techniques"
 * 6) Here is what the code will look like: [[Media:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf|Beginning Research Techniques]] .  Notice the | character separating the name of the link from it's title.
 * 7) On your page, you will see: [[Media:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf|Beginning Research Techniques]]
 * 8) After you have created this link, you can copy and paste it where you want it on the page.
 * File:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf
 * Media :Beginning Research Techniques.pdf
 * Media:Beginning Research Techniques.pdf
 * Beginning Research Techniques
 * Don't forget the pipe | symbol between the link and the name you give it.
