Note: If you want to upload a whole gallery of photos it is better to use the Nottinghack flickr group. We only upload images to the wiki so they can be embedded in wiki pages.
This page explains how to upload images to this wiki.

Uploading a single image
You can upload images one-at-a-time on the Special:Upload page. If you upload an image with a name like "DSC0013424.JPG", then please choose a more meaningful Destination filename
on the upload page, so we can link to the image more easily in future.
Uploading a set of images
The program Commonist can be used to upload a whole batch of images. You can set it up as follows:
- Install Commonist by following the specific installation instructions for your operating system [1] (unfortunately the 'Easiest way' described in those instructions -- using JNLP -- will not work! You must install the program to your computer).
- Open the file
etc/wikis.txt
inside the Commonist directory. - Add the following line of text to the file:
nottinghack _ http://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/api.php
- Now you can run Commonist and select 'nottinghack' in the list of Wikis.
