You need first to click the "upload file" link on the left, and then when you edit in text mode there's a button to insert the image. I did that for this page:
http://aravorn.com/index.php?title=Geography_Of_Aravorn
the code to show thumbnail+caption was:

Code: Select all

About the Bestiary, I like it, there could be both maybe? maybe the bestiary could also contain specific NPC / characters like Grob, Jul ?
Getting excited to see how it's coming along, I admit 8) thanks for the help!

Okay, that is the way to do it. And for that matter, it isn't that much to include the races links from the bestiary either. That is one good thing with a wiki. If the links are done right, one can easily cross each other.

And yep, specific NPCs like Grob, Jul, etc. will certainly be mentioned :)

I wasn't lying when I said I loved the world building aspects of your fantasy world ;)

So, is it alright to assume you don't mind us loading up specific images of creatures, npcs, etc. onto the wiki?

Uargh, I have been looking and looking for such a button, but did not find it. :( Maybe I go blind or something... Thanks.

I had to look in google myself and browse the wikimedia site to find it :lol:

Not sure I'm comfortable with including Amazons with Humans, or even Nomads? Well, maybe Nomads. But Amazons, I feel, are their own beast. Dwarves are human-looking, but small. Amazons are human-looking, but big.

Yes I think we can consider them another race, even the snow elves are identical to normal elves apart skin/hair color :)

I was unsure whether the Amazons or Nomads would have been considered human or not. It makes sense to do so. By the same token, I made an unfilled category for half-elves. Draco proves his specialness ;)

Also, I know only an Admin is allowed to delete images. There is one titled Loren01jpg.jpg I was trying to delete due to adding the extra jpg in the title. I swear to be more careful with such things in the future.

My idea was to create an entry after the Amazon description called Prominent Amazons, and obviously Loren, Karen, and Breza would be there.

Thank you very much. The only reason I even numbered them is I figured there may be more than one version put up in the future.

I do have a final question. Is there a preference on size for the pictures put up, especially on characters and monsters?

The Amukiki, Loren, Karen, and Breza I put up were on the smaller size than your Captain Daronas.
