Help:Uploading Images and Files with Moderator Rights

Load your own image -- or someone else's
Moderators have the ability to upload their own images. Prior to uploading an image, a moderator should first be familiar with the Image Approval Policies to avoid violating FamilySearch Wiki image policies. To upload images directly to the FamilySearch Research Wiki follow the steps below:


 * 1) Under "Toolbox," in the sidebar, click "Special pages."
 * 2) In the alphabetical list, scroll down to and click on the topic "Upload File."
 * 3) If you are a moderator, you will be directed to a page titled, "Upload File."
 * 4) Click "Browse" to locate the image or file on your computer
 * 5) Change the "Destination Filename" as needed so that the image or file will have the desired title in the Wiki, but DO NOT delete the file extension off of the name. For example, if you are changing the name from Pic123.jpg, you may change the name to anything.jpg, but the image will not upload if you change the name to Anything. The .jpg or ,png, etc., must be included in the "Destination Filename."
 * 6) Type in a "Summary" for the image. Include the author's name when possible. Remember, you must have full rights to the image, or it must be under the Creative Commons license or in the public domain to legally add it to the Wiki.
 * 7) Select the image or file on your computer, and click "Upload."
 * 8) To attach the image to an article or page, see Insert an uploaded image in an article.
