Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.

To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
  • [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file


Character Avatars

If you are uploading a character avatar, please expand and read below. If you are uploading a new avatar for a character, please read the Updating Avatars section.

How to title an Avatar

Give the avatar the same name as the Character Link, which should be how the character name appears at Absit Omen profiles. Character Name.jpg

In the summary, add:

{{Avatar}}

Using Images

Displaying a file is like making an internal link. Use double brackets and call for the file that's already uploaded.

[[File: Niobe Thursby.jpg]]

Align left or right:

[[File: Niobe Thursby.jpg|right]]

Image Sizes

Most avatars will be 250 pixels by 250 pixels. If they are not, there are two ways to change the avatar's size:

  1. Change the image's size on your computer, then upload it again.
  2. Add '250px' in the file name of the wiki page, like this:

[[File:Nora Dobbins.jpg|250px]]

Bulbgraph.pngNote: For best results, an avatar should be at least 250px by 250 pixels, and regardless of size should be square (250x250, 300x300, etc.)

Updating Avatars

If an avatar needs to be changed, we are able to update the old file. We don't have to delete the old file and add a new one.

  1. Go to the Avatar Gallery or The List of Uploaded Files and select the Avatar to update, or go to the character page and click on the current avatar.
  2. Just above the File Links heading is a link called "upload a new version of this file
  3. The title of the file will remain the same, but the image will be the fresh one. You won't need change any image links for the updated avatar to appear.
