These page serves as a guide on using files such as images on YumeWiki, including how to make and upload them.

Uploading

The edit toolbar, and file toolbar below it. From left to right, the 4th icon is method #2, and the 6th icon is method #3. Dragging files onto the file toolbar is method #4.

There are four methods for uploading a file on YumeWiki:

  1. Use Special:Upload, labelled as "Upload file" in the bottom bar (default skin) or sidebar (Vector skins).
  2. Press the image icon in the top bar of the edit window toolbar. It is the fourth icon from the left, next to the chain icon for links. The window it opens is for inserting files, but you can press the "Upload" button on the bottom left to upload a new file. Although it uses an image icon, other files such as audio can still be uploaded as well.
  3. Press the upload icon in the top bar of the edit window toolbar. It is the sixth from left. This allows you to upload multiple files as well. Make sure to rename the files if necessary before pressing "Upload this file"/"Upload all files". You can do this by simply selecting the file name.
  4. Drag your files onto the bar labelled Drop files here in the edit window. It is found below the toolbar. This uploads files in the same way as the previous method.

Using the last two methods (the only two allowing multiple files) you may get an error saying "Invalid CSRF token". If this happens, a possible solution is pressing the Show preview button to refresh the page with your edits, then immediately trying to upload the files again.
