The Fibiwiki upload procedure (current at May 2012) is typically done in two parts as follows:
===Part 1===
*After you have clicked “upload image”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, kmz.
*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.
*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.
 
===Part 2===
In this part you add descriptive details about the photograph, if this has not been done in Part 1, or add additional descriptive information. You also add a name to the licence template, and category details
*Add categories eg for a cemetery in Bangalore add <nowiki>[[Category:Cemetery images‎]]</nowiki> <nowiki>[[Category:Bangalore images]]</nowiki> If you have several images of the one cemetery, you may create a subcategory, eg <nowiki>[[Category:Poona cemetery images]]</nowiki>‎, (which in turn has <nowiki>[[Category: Cemetery images]]).</nowiki> For a list of Categories see [[:Category:Images|Category:Images]]
*Complete the edit by clicking on 'Show preview' to preview your changes, and then 'Save page'. The upload procedure is now completed.
 
If you wish to upload another image, click on "Upload file" in the toolbox in the panel on the left hand side of the page.
