Wikipedia:WikiProject Screencast/Scripts/Images

Uploading an image in four (not quite easy :/ ) steps:

1. Choose an image
2. *Image needs to be "free" "open"
3. **Meaning of "free" has to be clear about copyleft, hence note "open" instead
4. **If it's yours, you can make it free, it's yours to do whatever you want with
5. **If not, you need to be sure it's already free
6. **Ignore the fair-use case? Complicated, but relevant to wikis where it's applicable.
7. Go to upload page
8. *Select file on your computer
9. *Fill in applicable license. If yours and not sure, CC-BY-SA a safe bet, same as for your text contributions
10. *Fill in template with information about it:
11. **Information in template goes after each |parameter=
12. **A basic description: who, what, where, when, perhaps how
13. **Who made it (if you, write your name the way you want to be credited!)
14. **What license
15. **Any special notes
16. Hit the upload submit button
17. *Edit as necessary, whenever
18. Include your image in an article using File:Example.png
19. *Only go into easy "thumb" method, image syntax is confusing!
