- Hey, thanks.
- How do I edit that? The file: page already shows that information, it seems to be independant of the image itself. I only see that comment for my new upload left it out, but no button to edit that. Sorry, it's the first time editing a Wiki for me and all this is very, very confusing... --Haarp 15:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Extension[edit]
Oh dear. Anybody reading this? I've uploaded a higher res gif for the Kingfisher, thinking it would adjust the extension to gif from jpg. I reverted my mistake. How would I go about adjusting this to be a proper gif file? I still have some higher res scans that I would like to upload.
Also, where would one go to discuss these things and ask questions? --Haarp 06:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- You can only upload a new version of an image of the same extension; different extensions are different files, and within articles, the extension is spelled out when including a file. To swap out jpg images for gif images, you'd therefore need to alter all references in the articles as well.
- As for general questions of this sort, you might want to try the "Contact an Admin" section: BattleTechWiki:Administrators

- And as a follow-on to Frabby, you can see where a pic is linked easily enough. If you go to the image file itself, you'll see a page section named "File links". These are wikilinked to the pages using that exact image. (Ex: File:Kingfisher.jpg is on both the Kingfisher & Faction List Blood Spirit articles.) From there, you can change the wikicode for the image to match that of the new extension.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
