Your initial upload is the first step, but it can also be the last.

Fields

There are currently five items to fill out, but we will go into depth on the "Copyright" field.

  1. File Location -- Either by Hard Drive (your computer) or a publicly accessed URL.
  2. Destination File Name -- You make sure the name doesn't violate any of the terms of Battlestar Wiki, and it's as descriptive as possible while still keeping it short.
  3. Summary -- What is this image about? Can I link it to a specified page? Note: Be sure to include the interwiki link prefix along with the pipe as no article even exists on the Media Wiki. ([[:en:33|33]])
  4. Copyright Information
  5. Source -- Where did you get this image? A website? Did you create the screenshot off a media platform? Who created it if you found it on the web or which website provided this file for all?

Copyright field

This is the field we are the most concern with as it classifies the media file and also adds the media file into the correct categories depending on what is put here.

In this field we need to place the "tag" and it needs to be done correctly. So lets move on!
