Additional help

To view or search previously uploaded images, go to the list of uploaded files. Uploads and deletions are also logged in the upload log.

To include the image in a page, use a link in the form [[{{ns:image}}:File.jpg]], [[{{ns:image}}:File.png|alt text]] or [[{{ns:media}}:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file.
