Uploading files

Here's a little guide to uploading files to the wiki. In order to upload a file you'll need to create and be logged into the wiki with an account (Here's the guide: Creating an account).

There's two processes to uploading a file unto the wiki. Process 1 is through the Upload file page, and process 2 is through the Edit/Create source tool.

Process 1: The Upload file page

Step 1: Finding the "Upload file" page

First find the Upload file page. To get to the upload file page you need to click Upload file on the right side of your page. It will be under the Tools section.

Step 2: Selecting your file

After getting to the page, you just need to click Choose file and select what file you want to upload. !WARNING! make sure it's one of the permitted file types or it won't work.

Step 3: Naming and describing your file

After you upload a file you need to give it a name and a description.

I BEG OF YOU, please make your file name something reasonable, we have some very weird file names (File:Autolathe-East-10560.png for example) on this wiki that hopefully have been removed by the time you're reading this. Also, have a little fun with the description unless it's actually fundamental to understanding it. If you're just uploading a sprite for a table, might as well give someone skimming files a little laugh.

Step 4: Uploading your file

Congratulations, you just uploaded a file to the Funkystation wiki! Just make sure you hit upload file at the bottom of your page and if you did all the steps correctly it should work. Please don't post anything explicit or unproductive to the site, we do check these files occasionally. You can access any file by typing "File:Filename.Filetype" in the search bar.

Process 2: Uploading through Edit/Create source

Step 1: Finding "source"

First look up a page, or just use this one you're reading right now, and click Edit source.

You can also just look up random gibberish and then open the source to that non-existent page, but then it'll be called Create source.

Step 2: Clicking the image icon

After you open the source of the page, you need to click on the little image icon near the top left of the wikicode editor (source).

Step 3: Not getting scared

After clicking on the icon in the wikicode editor there's going to be a pop-up Don't concern yourself with most of it. The only thing that matters to us is the Upload button, click that.

Step 4: Selecting you file

You're almost there. Make sure your file is a type the wiki supports (refer to Process 1, Step 2 if you forgot which ones those are). Then, press Select a file and select whichever file you want to upload, and make sure you click the box that says "This is my own work" (don't worry, you can upload whatever you want that's from the game). Press upload at the top right of the window to move on.

Step 5: Naming and describing your file

Just like in Process 1, the description of your file doesn't really matter unless the image itself isn't descriptive enough. If it's just a sprite, go wild. Once again make sure to name your file appropriately, we don't like spaghetti here.

Step 6: Uploading your file

Finally, just hit Save at the top right of the window, and you're all done. Congratulations, if you followed the steps correctly your file should be uploaded. You can access any file by typing "File:Filename.Filetype" in the search bar.
