I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious but I can't figure out how to add an image to a wiki page :? Could some kind soul point me in the right direction?

Sure!

You have to upload the image to the wiki and then use the following code:

[[File:name-of-your-image.ext|300px]]

That will show your image 300 pixels wide. You can choose any display width you like.

In case of doubt, go to any page and edit it to show how it is done. The Mediawiki help is a good reference too.

Tell me if I can be of further help.

Cheers,
Rob

Many thanks Rob, think I've got it now 8-)

I'm wondering what normal practice would be for fixing blemishes on images. (The Bamby Software inlays I've uploaded being an example. The inlays originally had some sort of sticker that has been removed taking the print with it). It's tempting to try and fix them but it's slightly beyond my skill and it would be obvious the image has been altered.

I can take a look at them, as I've fixed a lot of images with missing or damaged parts.

If they are already in the wiki, tell me the names. Otherwise send me a pm so you can send me the pictures.

Easy indeed :D

Remember to reload the pages if you still see the old image...

Nicely done! You would have to know exactly where to look to see the repair and even then it's not obvious.
