==Uploading Files==

Most users won't have to do this, but files such as novel illustrations can be uploaded to the wiki.  The procedure is different if it's a new file or a "better"/revised version one already on the wiki.

In most cases, the English project and the alternate language versions will share the same files .

===New Files and File Naming===

New files can be uploaded through the "Upload File" link under the "Tools" menu at the bottom of the left side-bar.

File names should be descriptive, including the series name or abbreviation, the volume, and the page number if possible.  If uploading new files for a project, it's simplest just to copy the format of the already uploaded files (assuming they follow this general guideline).

Examples:
<pre><nowiki>
STnBD_V01_059.jpg
STnBD_V03_067.jpg
Horizon2B_0002-0003.jpg
Horizon4C_0109.jpg
</nowiki></pre>

===New Versions of Existing Files ===

If uploading a new version or replacement for a file that already exists, you should use the "Upload a new version of this file" link available at the bottom of the "File History" section of the file page.

There are a couple of exceptions when you may need to upload the new versions as a new file instead.  One is if the file extension is different, such as .png instead of .jpg, then it is only possible to upload as a new file (the file should be the same other than the extension).  Another exception is if uploading an image typeset to a particular language, then you should upload as a new file, appending a language code at the end of the file name (ie BTS_vol_07_200_EN.jpg).

Note that if you are in one of those exceptions and are uploading a new file, then you will have to edit the appropriate pages to change them to the new file name.
