__NOTOC__

'''Images''', along with other uploadable multimedia objects, are no longer uploaded on the individual wikis. They are all now centralized onto a "[[:md:Main Page|Media Repository]]". Because of this this [[BW:MIS|Island of misfit Images]] no longer will work properly because there are no images associated with the English Wiki. The [[BW:MIS|Island of misfit Images]] now holds a listing of currently created "User Galleries". Images and multimedia stuff that has been uploaded in bulk.

Currently  there is '''no''' auto-generated list of files not being used.

== Image being used? ==
If you goto an image, for instance, [[:md:Image:User_Shane.jpg|Image:User_Shane.jpg]] on the media wiki, you will notice three tabs at the top. This will link back to the wiki that you select. You then be directed to the [[:Image:User_Shane.jpg#filelinks|image on the Wiki]] itself, and by looking at the "Link" pages section you can tell where this image is being used.

== Upload and Tagging Guidelines ==
There are three guidelines for mulimedia objects. They are located here:
* [[:md:BWM:IUP|Image]] Upload Guidelines
* [[:md:BWM:AUP|Audio]] Upload Guidelines
* [[:md:BWM:VUP|Video]] Upload Guidelines

There is also there related tagging guidelines pages:
* [[:md:BWM:ITP|Image]] Tagging Guidelines
* [[:md:BWM:ATP|Audio]] Tagging Guidelines
* [[:md:BWM:VTP|Video]] Tagging Guidelines

== Updating Images ==

Goto your favorite picture and follow these intructions:

# Press the <code>here</code> in the box directly below the image. (From this line of: <tt>To upload a new version click here. This will direct you to the upload page.</tt>)
#* This takes you to the upload page.
#* If you do not have or not logged into the [[:md:Main Page|Media Wiki]], create an account and sign in. (Then Repeat Step #1)
# Follow the intructions to "Browse" to the new file while keeping the "Destination filename" field the same. '''Do not change it.'''
# Click upload and confirm that you want to replace the image.

That's it. Nothing to it. Make sure you keep the tags and the source updating with the chaning image.

-== Integrating images into articles ==
-=== General ===
-: ''Note: Do not include the brackets "{" and "}" in your code! These are meant to distinguish the attributes from the syntax only!''
-The general syntax is '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]</nowiki>''', but only '''<nowiki>[[Image:{name}]]</nowiki>''' is required.
-'''{name}''':
-*Only the name of the image without additional preceding URL parts. For example "name.jpg".
-'''{type}''':
-*"thumbnail" or "thumb": Creates and displays a thumbnail. The caption is displayed below it if one is specified.
-*"frame": Displays the image in its original size with a border around it. The caption is displayed below it if one is specified.
-*(nothing specified): Displays the image in its original size, but without border or caption.
-'''{location}''':
-*"left", "right" or "center": Displays the image in the respective location. Text flows around it.
-*"none": By default the image is placed on the left side.
-'''{size}''':
-*"100px": Scales the picture down to a width of 100 pixels (or any value chosen). If "thumbnail" is specified, this setting will override the default thumbnail size.
-*"100x200px": Scales the picture up and down to a maximum of the specified width and height while preserving its aspect ratio.
-'''{caption}''':
-*Optional, but recommended description of the picture, that will be displayed below it.
-=== Hyperlinks ===
-To place a hyperlink to a picture in a text, put a colon in front of "Image": '''<nowiki>[[:Image:{name}|text]]</nowiki>'''
-=== Galleries ===
-To create a gallery of several images use the following syntax:
-<pre><nowiki><gallery caption="gallery caption"></nowiki>
-<nowiki>Image:image1.jpg | caption1</nowiki>
-<nowiki>Image:image2.jpg | caption2</nowiki>
-<nowiki></gallery></nowiki>
-</pre>
-Note that no square brackets are used. The gallery caption is optional; <nowiki><gallery></gallery></nowiki> is enough.
