Information Quick help

Please use the →  template “Metadata” when providing your media files. It is designed for supplying information and ‘automatic’ →  categorisation for uploaded files and helps your fellow campaigners to retrieve it…;-). Image meta data can look for instance like:

{{Metadata
| Type  = StillImage
| Title = Short title
| Content Modification = if modified
| Description          = a more detailed description
| Scientific Names = Genus species
| Common     Names = {{de | Alpen-Flachbärlapp }} 
| Metadata Language= en
| Language         = zxx
| Creators = [[User:XYZ]]
| Subject Category = (main) subject category
| General Keywords = Schematic drawings, Morphological details, SVG Flora
}}

To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log. To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|descriptive text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendered image with a framed box at the left side with ‘descriptive text’ as caption
  • [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
