The Fibiwiki upload procedure (current at May 2012) is typically done in two parts as follows, noting that you must first be registered with the Webmaster. If you aren't already registered, , please contact the [mailto:fibis-webmaster@fibis.org Webmaster]. You must be logged in to the Fibiwiki before you can upload an image.
===Part 1===
*Click on "upload an image" at the top of this page, or "Upload file" in the toolbox in the panel on the left hand side of the page.
*Next click on browse, which should take you to the images stored on your computer. Permitted file types are: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, pdf. Maximum file size is 7 MB
*Then double click on the file you want to upload. At this point, you may be asked by the Fibiwiki to change the file name with a message such as this: "The name of the file you are uploading begins with "DSC_", which is a non-descriptive name typically assigned automatically by digital cameras. Please choose a more descriptive name for your file." You make changes to the file name within your own computer system, (not within the upload system) refer paragraph above.
*Repeat the upload procedure with the new file name.
*Also note that if your image upload won’t complete, if you change the file name even slightly, (even though this has not been requested) this may enable a successful upload.
*Next, a brief 'Summary' of the photograph may be added. This is optional at this point, as this wording may be added in Part 2.
*Next select the type of licence from the dropdown list. The first option "Attribution 3.0 unported (most restrictive)" is the option which will be selected for most personal and family photographs. When you select a licence this will automatically generate a licence category.
*Then click on “Upload file”. This part of the upload procedure is completed and the image is now uploaded. (Sometimes the image could be slow to load, so wait a while)
===Part 2===# Prepare the file for upload. Make sure the file is exactly as you want it.# In this part you add the [[Help:Navigation#Sidebar|sidebar]], under “{{lcfirst:{{int:toolbox}}}}”, click “'''{{int:upload}}'''.”# Click “'''Browse'''” next to the “'''{{int:sourcefilename}}'''” to locate the file on your computer (the name of the “browse” button depends on your web browser).# Change the “'''{{int:destfilename}}'''” to something descriptive details about the photograph, if this has not been done necessary.# Fill in Part 1the “'''{{int:filedesc}}'''”, or add additional descriptive informationif necessary.# Choose a license from '''Licensing''' section rop down menu# Click the “'''{{int:uploadbtn}}'''” button. ===Amending the license=== You also may need to add a name attribution to the licence template, a category and category detailsGoogle PlusOne button

:It is requested that you give the files a descriptive name which is related to the image. If you are uploading a photograph of something (say a church) in a town, it is preferable to put the town name first, as it makes it easier to spot relevant images when they are in a mixed category) as titles don’t always display fully in the thumbnail. You make any changes to the filenames within your own computer system.
