This page explains how to upload images to this wiki.
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.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.txtinside 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.
