Uploading and updating images in the Wiki

Here's a little HOWTO for updating and adding images in the wiki.
For this example-work(for following the steps I point out) I used Game Help:Buildings

Updating an image

1st: After opening the page - containing the pictures, you would like to change - you have to scroll to the picture, you would like to update. Than just click on the picture (For this example:Empire Fisher hut)

2nd: The page of the image (Image:Emp-building-fisher.png) will be opened. There select "Upload a new version of this file"

3rd: The Update file-dialog will be opened, containing the Name of the image, you would like to update. Now select the picture you would like to use on your locale machine, activate "Ignore any warnings" (Else, the script will break off and will tell you: "You are about to override an allready existing picture....") Click on "Upload file"

4th: the will be a message, that you successfully uploaded the image. -> So okay.. now the imperial fisher hut is up to date, you should take another building :-)

Normally I open the link to the image's-page in a new tab, so that I directly can check, whether the image is really updated and how it looks like, but that's up to you. :-D
AND don't forget to reload the page and perhaps even manually the image-> else you will still see the old picture :-)

Adding a new image

For adding new pictures, the easiest way is just, to first add them in the code of the page and than follow the 4 points from above. For doing this:

I again use Game Help:Buildings

2-1st: Directly under the heading "Game Help:Buildings" are a few links. There select "Edit this page"

2-2nd: Go to the line, you want to add an image (in this example I scroll to imperial Vineyard and replace [[image:Missing-building-graphics]] with a new image-link). Add a unique named image-link. (image-links should look like [[image:xyz.png]])

2-3rd: Click on "Save page" the page reloads and shows up a red link (in this case "image:Emp-building-vintagery.png") Clicking on this link will bring yo to a similiar dialog as on point 3 of Updating an image. Follow the steps as explained there and you will upload a new image.

...And you are done :-).
