Guide: Uploading and Using Images

This is a guide that will explain how to use images on the wiki. For information on our policy regarding images, please refer to the Popee the Performer Wiki Policy and Page Formatting and Editing Guidelines. 
Breaking the rules will result in disciplinary action, and going against the editing guidelines will result in your edit being removed.
== Guide ==
There are a few ways to upload an image. This guide will explain how to do so on the desktop version of Fandom.
The quickest way to find the upload page is to use the dropdown menu on the wiki's navigation bar by hovering over "explore".
You can also go to directly to Special:NewFiles and click the "Add New Image" button on the top right. 
You can also use the visual editor to upload images by clicking the "image" icon on the far right of the visual editor's navigation bar, on the left of "INSERT" (shown below). 
You can upload multiple images at a time when using the source editor, as shown below. 
== Using Images That are Already on the Wiki ==
Images can be uploaded and inserted, but you can also insert images that already exist on the wiki. Click the "image" icon on the navigation bar of the visual editor, and search for images that way. 
It helps to know the exact filename that you're searching for, but if you're uncertain that an image exists on the wiki already, just upload it anyway. The wiki is able to detect duplicate files, and will tell you if the image already exists or not—and it will tell you the exact filename if it does. 
The source code will vary depending on what you're doing with the image, and I cannot include all of the information here. However, something important to note, regarding captions, is that captions will not appear under a standalone image unless it is a thumbnail. This is specified in the image's code using Wikitext, and can be added using the visual editor or the source editor. However, captions will appear under images that appear in galleries.
For more on images, please refer to this article from fandom's community page on adding images, and this page on using Wikitext in images.
== Galleries ==
Galleries can be generated quite easily using the visual editor as well as the source editor. It's worth noting that like the rest of the wiki, Wikitext can be used within galleries. Wikitext is the markup language used by Mediawiki based webpages like Fandom and Wikipedia.
For more on Wikitext in galleries, please refer to this page on Fandom's Community Central.
It's also worth noting that galleries do not have to be more than a single image.
=== Visual Editor===
On the visual editor, find "INSERT" on the far right of the toolbar, click it, and find "Gallery" under the drop-down menu.From here, a box will appear with a search bar and an "INSERT" button on the top right of the pop-up, and a section on the right of the box with the title "In The Gallery" that will show you the images that you have chosen to appear within the gallery. Each image gives you the option to add a caption when you select it, but you can also edit captions by clicking the pencil icon that appears with each image's thumbnail. You can remove images that you have selected by clicking the little "X" symbol next to the pencil icon.
When you're finished, be sure to click the "INSERT" button on the top right of the pop-up, otherwise your work will not be saved.
===Source Editor===
The code for a gallery within the source editor is the following:
 <gallery>
 Example.png
 Example.png
 </gallery>
This would generate the following: 
Example.png 
Example.png Captions can be added by adding a "|" after the filename.
Example:
 <gallery>
 Example.png|Caption 1
 Example.png|Caption 2
 </gallery>
Which would look like this:
 Example.png|Caption 1
 Example.png|Caption 2
