Placing Pictures

1) Upload the picture using the "Upload file" link - may need to convert picture to .jpg
  (If "Upload file" link isn't available, this is a feature that needs to be enabled first)
2) Although using "thumb" may seem like a good idea, I found that defining the picture size seems to
   provide better results.  IE  |300px

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.

FAQ

* How do I determine my version of MediaWiki?
