Wiki Question

I would like to copy a picture onto one of my wiki pages, but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help??

The picture would need to be uploaded to our class's wiki page. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an "upload file" option (see Wikipedia's main page (en.wikipedia.org), right column, between "Related changes" and "Special pages"). The best you could do, I guess, is this:

1.) upload the image to flickr
2.) get the image's URL (available by right-clicking on the image and selecting "Copy Image Location" on a Mac... I can't remember what it is on a PC; I'd have to try it on one later)
3.) use that URL as an external link on the wiki page, with a caption of something like "Click here for a picture of X."

I hope this helps.

Dave, can you add a picture to a wiki page you're creating or editing? That might encourage us all. Thanks!
