Gratispaideia:UploadWizard

Welcome! Thank you for proposing to upload an image or other media asset for inclusion on Gratispaideia through the UploadWizard. This wizard will walk you through a form that will ask you for copyright and attribution information for each file. Please ensure you understand copyrightbefore proceeding.

Uploads to Miraheze Commons

Uploads locally to Gratispaideia; must comply with the not-for-free contents criteria

You are not currently logged in.

Sorry, but you must be logged in with your designated account in order to use this uploading script to upload files. Please  [ log in]  and then try again. Your account has not become confirmed yet.

Sorry, but you must have a confirmed account to upload files to Gratispaideia. Normally, your account will be confirmed automatically after 10 edits and four days have passed after it was established.

You may be able to upload files on the Miraheze Commons, but not on Gratispaideia just yet. If the file you intend to upload has a free license, please upload it to Miraheze Commons.

Important note: if you don't want to wait until you are autoconfirmed, you may ask somebody else to upload a file for you at Gratispaideia:AN.

In very rare cases an administrator may make your account confirmed manually through a request at Gratispaideia:Requests for permissions/Other rights.

Step 2: Describe your file
Sorry, a few special characters and character combinations cannot be used in the filename for technical reasons. This goes especially for # < > [ ] | : { } /  and  . Your filename has been modified to avoid these. Please check if it is okay now. The filename you chose seems to be very short, or overly generic. Please don't use: A file of this name already exists on Commons!
 * Titles that consist only of very generic descriptive words (e.g. "Sunset.jpg", "Townhall.jpg")
 * Titles that consist only of a person's first or last name, when that name is likely to be shared by many others (e.g. "John.jpg", "Miller.jpg")
 * Titles that consist of mere numbers, of the kind often produced by digital cameras ("DSC_001234", "IMGP0345"), or random strings like those sometimes found on the web ("30996951316264l.jpg")

You will be masking the existing file and making it inaccessible if you submit your file with this name. Wherever the old file was previously utilized, your new file will appear.

Except in extraordinary circumstances, this should not be done.

If you're not sure what you're doing, don't post your file under this name. Instead, give your new document a distinct name.

If you want to replace the existing file with a less contentious, improved version of the same work, please upload it to Commons rather than to Gratispaideia's own wiki. A file of this name already exists.

If you upload your file with this name, you will be overwriting the existing file. Your new file will be displayed everywhere the existing file was previously used. Please don't do this, unless you have a good reason to:

Step 3: Provide source and copyright information
It is very important that you read through the following options and questions, and provide all required information truthfully and carefully.

This is the data that will be submitted to upload:

Upload in process
Your file is being uploaded.

This might take a minute or two, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your internet connection.

Once uploading is completed, you will find your new file at this link:

File:Example.jpg

File successfully uploaded
Your file has been uploaded successfully and can now be found here:

File:Example.jpg

Please follow the link and check that the image description page has all the information you meant to include.

If you want to change the description, just go to the image page, click the "edit" tab at the top of the page and edit just as you would edit any other page. Do not go through this upload form again, unless you want to replace the actual file with a new version.

To insert this file into an article, you may want to use code similar to the following:

If you wish to make a link to the file in text, without actually showing the image, for instance when discussing the image on a talk page, you can use the following (mark the ":" after the initial brackets!):
