In some articles, you may want to include some images. Below is a guide to helping you do that. You should credit every image, even if it belongs to you.
Feel free to come back to this page for info at any time.
Formatting
To upload an image, save it to your computer and then click on the "Files" option at the bottom of the page. After this click on the option to upload a file and select the desired image.
To get the link for an image, click on the "Files" option at the bottom of the page and ctrl+clicking the link.
When pasting an image, change the "https" in the wikidot url for the image link to "http" in order to render the image successfully. If this fails, make sure that the URL is s-a-p.wikidot.com and not s-a-p.wdfiles.com.
Also, once finished, clicking on an image will take you to its page.
Left Floating Image
The text will wrap around the image using this method. Put the below code right above the paragraph you want the image to be to the side of. Take the URL of the image, paste this into the "image" and "link" fields. Type your caption in the "caption" field. You may also change the number in the "width" field to your desired pixel number. The image will not distort, but will grow or shrink evenly.
[[include modules:picture-left
|width=200px
|image=*text here
|caption=caption here
|link=*text here
]]
This uses the include module to import from the page picture-left.
Center Static Image
The text will not wrap around the image using this method, but the image will have text above and/or below it. Put the below code in before, after, or in between paragraphs. Take the URL of the image, paste this into the "image" and "link" fields. Type your caption in the "caption" field. You may also change the number in the "width" field to your desired pixel number. The image will not distort, but will grow or shrink evenly.
[[include modules:picture-center
|width=200px
|image=*text here
|caption=caption here
|link=*text here
]]
This uses the include module to import from the page picture-center.
Right Floating Image
The text will wrap around the image using this method. Put the below code right above the paragraph you want the image to be to the side of. Take the URL of the image, paste this into the "image" and "link" fields. Type your caption in the "caption" field. You may also change the number in the "width" field to your desired pixel number. The image will not distort, but will grow or shrink evenly.
[[include modules:picture-right
|width=200px
|image=*text here
|caption=caption here
|link=*text here
]]
This uses the include module to import from the page picture-right.
Crediting
This is how to convey where the images in the page come from.
Images from the Web
For images "borrowed" from the web, this would be used (replace the text with what is says to do):
[[include modules:external-image-credits
|title=the image title
|author=the author's name
|original-image-link=link to where you found the image
]]
This uses the include module to import from the page external-image-credits.
Images belonging to a User
Please indicate if images are AI-generated.
For images created by the user who made the page, this would be used (replace the text with what is says to do):
[[include modules:original-image-credits
|title=image title
|link-to-image=found by ctrl+clicking on the file name at the page bottom
|author-username=the author's username
|author-comments=any comments by the author
|cc-license-link=a link to the creative commons page for what it you licensed it under
|cc-license-name=something like CC BY-NC-ND 3.0
]]
This uses the include module to import from the page original-image-credits.
The recommended image licensing is shown below for user-created images. Be sure to indicate if the image is AI generated.
[[include modules:original-image-credits
|title=image title
|link-to-image=found by ctrl+clicking on the file name at the page bottom
|author-username=the author's username
|author-comments=This is an original image.
|cc-license-link=https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en
