Uploading files

There are two ways of uploading files, both of which bring you to the upload page.

1. One way is by clicking the "Upload file" link in the sidebar (to the left, under Tools).
2. The second way (the easier method), is to just reference the file you want to create/upload as you're editing the page, and clicking on the red link after (similar to creating a new page by first creating the link).

A note about filenames: There will no naming convention with regards to filenames for files uploaded to uniKB. As naming will be left to the user's discretion, please consider using descriptive yet short names, and consider being consistent (these will only make it easier for you). In, we have found it helpful to use numbered series to upload images in batch (web_orders_screenshot-1.jpg, web_orders_screenshot-2.jpg). See Special:ListFiles for a general idea of how you can name your files.

Linking to uploaded files

The syntax [[File:filename.jpg]] is correct for linking to files, but clicking this method brings you to the file description page (a page about the file). From here you can click on the file again, and if it's an image, it will open in its original size, and if it's a Word document or Adobe PDF, it will open in the program. To have the link open the file directly, you can use [[Media:filename.jpg]]. This is a much better way to link to uploaded documents, since they immediately are downloaded and opened.
