After Uploading:

1. Unfortunately, there will be no detailed success message after the upload (a software limitation).
2. To find your recent uploads, click on Recent file uploads in the menu on the left side.
3. In the column Name you see your destination names (example: "Logo_nkis.jpg").
4. To display uploaded images in another wiki, choose a page and go into edit mode. Then type "[[File:" in front and "|thumb|your caption text]]" after the wiki-file-name; for example "[[File:Logo_nkis.jpg|thumb|your caption text]]". By default, the image will display on the right hand side; this can be changed, please refer to the help pages on your wiki.
