Hey Destroyer! I've been noticing that you have been uploading duplicated photos of stuff already on the Wiki. I have a few guesses about why you do that, and I think I can help, if one of my guesses are correct. Please read through all of this as it is very helpful. Also note I'm not scolding you, nor are you in trouble. I'm just giving you some tips. : )


 * 1) You are editing in Visual Mode, which doesn't let you add images unless they were recently uploaded.
 * 2) You don't know how to add images to a page unless they were recently uploaded.
 * 3) The coding to add previously uploaded images is too confusing.

Here are my tips for each. Firstly, if you have visual mode on disable it. You can do that here, under the editing tab. You uncheck the box that says "Enable Visual Editor". By doing that, it exposes the coding for a page. When you learn that coding instead of using the visual editor, you understand how the Wiki works, as well as dispelling any glitches or confinement the visual editor may have caused.

Now, about not knowing how to use images that weren't recently uploaded. I assume you're using the "Add Photo" tool that is inside the editor to do this. That tool can be confusing, so I suggest you use the following coding to add old photos:

Note the reason I'm teaching you this is because the duplicate photos you are uploading are a thumbnail version of the original, making the images you upload smaller, and thus of lower quality. You can also add various extra coding to this example to change stuff about it. Ex: [[File:Picture.jpg|center centers the image on the center of the page. You can also add |left or |right to do the same thing for the sides of the page. You can also add |link=(Page Name) so that when you click on the image, it takes you to a page. You can also resize the image using |12345px Change the numbers before the "px" to change the image's size.

I think the above paragraph pretty much answers problems one and two.

If you have any questions, just reply below. : )
