Help:Upload and add image to the page

Every image in SurveyWiki gets its own page in File: namespace. To add an image to the page it needs first to be uploaded to the database.

Uploading an image

Only logged-in users can upload images to SurveyWiki. Uploaded image type can by one of png, gif, jpg, jpeg, svg and its size must be less than 2Mb.

To upload file to the database use Special:Upload page and fill in the form. Link to this page can be found either under Wiki tools -> Upload file or Navigation -> Special pages -> Media reports and uploads -> Upload file. Both Wiki tools and Navigation are in the upper left part of each page but their exact position depends on the skin being used.

Licensing

SurveyWiki allows for use several licenses when uploading images. They are:

• CC0 1.0 - Public domain
• CC Attribution
• CC Attribution ShareAlike
• CC Attribution NoDerivatives
• CC Attribution NonCommercial

Uploading own work

When uploading your own work you are free to choose whatever license suits you best from license options.

Uploading third party work

Uploading third party work needs more consideration. There are a few core rules to follow:

• If license of an image which you want to upload is not stated, or it is explicitly "all rights reserved" then do not upload it. Consider linking to the original image or recreating it independently instead.
• Upload image as "For Internal use only" when you holds the rights for that image.
• When uploading third party work in its original form - use the same license as original.
• When uploading third party work in modified form
