In the “Filename” space, enter the path and name of the file you
wish to upload. Alternatively, you can click on Browse. A dialogue
window then opens in which you can select a file. The required path
information will be entered into the form. Now you should enter a
short description of the image in the “Description” field. This gives
potential viewers an idea of whether or not the file is of interest.
Lastly, you must confirm that you are the rightful owner of this file
and wish to publish it under the wiki's copyright. With the button
Upload files, the file is then integrated into the wiki. As we have indicated,
this procedure applies to all allowed file types. If a file of
the same name already exists, you will see a warning page on which
you can decide what to do. If you click on Upload again, the current
action is cancelled and you will return to Special:Upload file. If you
click on Save file, the file will be overwritten. However, as mentioned,
the old version of the file remains in the history list. You will
also be warned if the file size exceeds the limit of 100 KB. Furthermore,
any spaces in file names are automatically replaced by underlines
in order to conform to wiki page names.
Tip: The name of an uploaded file can no longer be altered. Thus, it
is advisable to give the file a significant name.
A list of all images and files in a wiki can be found under Special:Imagelist.
In addition to a search function and a selection of
displays (see Chapter 6), you will also see a list containing information
about the respective files. For each entry, from right to left,
