== Uploading images ==
You can see all images on the wiki here:
[[Special:ListFiles]]
You can upload files here:
[[Special:Upload]]
(this is also linked from your 'toolbox' menu item)
Alternatively, you can just put this text
<nowiki>[[Image:<name of your image goes here>.jpg]]</nowiki>
into a page (where you replace <name of your image goes here> with the actual name of your image). You can then click on the link and upload the image.
General information on uploading images here, skip over the technical bits:
