New Image

If the image has not yet been uploaded, this is really simple. Click on the Insert button and the Media button in the drop-down menu. Either find the image in your home files or search for previously loaded images.

insert image visual edit.jpg

insert image visual edit select file upload.jpg

Existing Images

For images already in the wiki:

  • If you have loaded an image of your own through bulk upload, e.g. a bird, put 'bird' into the media settings box "Search"

insert image search bird 2.jpg

  • Or if it is an image in the wiki you want to use, In a new tab, go to the File List page
  • 'Search' for your image and click on thumbnail image.
  • This may take a while to load with thousands of images in the library. But the plus is that you can use these high quality images in your page. If using Phil Bendle's images please put the attribution in the image information.


  • At the bottom right there is an icon to "Share or embed this file". Click on that and the wikitext will be provided that can be copied onto a new page

insert image download bird.jpg

This is the result of pasting the code File:Sooty shearwater by Sabine's Sunbird.jpg#/media/File:Sooty shearwater by Sabine's Sunbird.jpg


If you are editing in source code it will look something like this:

[[File:Catmap_logo_800_x_360.jpg|thumb|Catmap logo]]

This can be further modified to specify a width and/or a position:

[[File:Catmap_logo_800_x_360.jpg|300px|thumb|left|CatMap]]
