<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Adding photos to a page is straightforward. The wiki automatically optimizes images for you, so don't worry about file size or format — just upload what you have.<br />
<br />
== Step 1 — Upload the photo ==<br />
<br />
# Click '''Upload file''' in the left sidebar (under Tools)<br />
# Choose your file<br />
# Give it a meaningful name (e.g. "Cast 1988E group photo Munich.jpg")<br />
# Optionally add a description<br />
# Click '''Upload file'''<br />
<br />
'''Supported formats:''' JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG.<br />
<br />
== Step 2 — Insert into a page ==<br />
<br />
# Edit the page where you want the photo<br />
# Place your cursor where the photo should appear<br />
# Use the '''Insert image''' button in the toolbar (visual editor), or in wikitext type:<br />
#: <code><nowiki>[[File:Your-file-name.jpg|thumb|Your caption here]]</nowiki></code><br />
# Save the page<br />
<br />
== Image sizing — don't worry about it ==<br />
<br />
You can upload full-resolution photos straight from your phone or camera. MediaWiki automatically generates thumbnails at appropriate sizes for display, while keeping the full-size original safe.<br />
<br />
== Photo guidelines ==<br />
<br />
* '''Only upload photos you own''' or have clear permission to share<br />
* '''Consider others''' — if a photo includes other cast members, use your judgment about whether they'd be comfortable with it appearing here<br />
* '''Add a caption''' describing what the photo shows (year, location, names if known)<br />
* '''Photos with text''' (like scanned program covers) are very welcome — they're part of the historical record<br />
<br />
== Uploading many photos ==<br />
<br />
If you have a whole album or scanned collection to add, [https://uwpiaa.org/contact/ contact an admin]. We can help you upload in bulk rather than one at a time.<br />
<br />
== Removing or replacing a photo ==<br />
<br />
To replace a photo with a newer version, go to the file's page (click the photo) and use the '''Upload a new version of this file''' link. The old version is kept in history.<br />
