Adding Images to Tables

In this guide we will walk through how to add an image to the Weapons or Armor tables. Adding images to other areas of the wiki follows the same basic process but may require changing other image settings to get the best formatting results.

To add new images you will first need a Fandom account. Generic users are not permitted by Fandom to add images.

This guide starts with the assumption that you already know how to enter edit mode and edit the contents of a table. For information on that please visit the basic table **editing guide**.

After entering edit mode on the page if you click the cell where you would like the photo, you'll see that the insert image is greyed out and unselectable.

To make the button selectable you will need to double clock into the cell and make the font cursor appear. Now you'll see that the button turns white.

Click the image insert button circled in the above screenshot.  A window will open to specify where the image file will come from.  If the image already exists on the wiki, such as an older image or one you uploaded using the separate image upload tool, you can search for it here and select it.  For this example we will be uploading the image at the same time we want to add it to the table.  Click the “Upload” button.

Click the “SELECT A FILE” button to use your PC file browser, or drag and drop a file into the new window.

After the file is brought into this window check the agreement box and then click "UPLOAD".

Click "SAVE"

Whether you uploaded a new image using the process shown above or instead started by selecting an image that was already uploaded, the following steps are now the same.  Select “USE THIS IMAGE”

Click on the "Advanced" tab.

For different types of images on the wiki you may want or need to use different settings to get it to format correctly for the page.  For images in the Weapons and Armor tables there are specific settings that work best to keep the table formatting clean.

For Weapon and Armor table images keep the default settings of “LEFT” and “Thumbnail”.  Click “CUSTOM”, and then change the X dimension value to “30”. The Y dimension will automatically change.  This setting turns the image into a small thumbnail that fits within the table. Users can click this thumbnail to bring up the full size image.

Review the settings and then click “INSERT”.

A small version of your image will appear in the table.  The formatting won’t look quite right until it gets saved.  If the image is larger than the rest of the images and data around you can press Ctrl+Z to undo the import and try again, making sure to set the 30px thumbnail setting. Note in the image below the formatting seems a little off but the image is in the correct cell and is a small thumbnail. We can proceed with the "SAVE" button.

Here is a screenshot of the final table after saving.  Note how the column widths remain consistent.
