		+	== Uploading via a link ==
		+	When referencing an image from a page, if the image does not exist clicking on the link takes you to the image upload page with the name already filled in.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre><gallery>
		+	image:SE01.jpg
		+	image:this does not exist.jpg

		+	With a link which in turn takes you to the upload page (Note the name is already filled in ...):
		+
		+	[[image:Help - Uploading new file 5.gif]]
		+
		+	== Naming conventions ==
		+	Unlike ohter wiki's, Mediawiki has only one namespace for files so we have to be careful when naming to prevent conflict. You should at all times make sure that the naming scheme you use is unique to the pictures you are uploading. Probably the easiest way to ensure this is to use a prefix based on the page that the images will appear on.

		+	i.e If you have a picture of a fighter with axe from that is to be shown on the '''Fighters - C01 (pre slotta)''' page then name the image '''Fighters - C01 (pre slotta) - Axe 1.jpg'''
