How to Upload Entries to YPPedia
PNG format is preferred. Please use the filename format of Art-YOUR_FORUM_NAME-filename.png. Replace YOUR_FORUM_NAME with your actual forum name. This will help cut down on confusion if there is more than one "dock" or other filename.
Please read these directions prior to following them.
- Make sure you are logged in to YPPedia, you can login using your forum account & password by using the "Login" link at the upper right corner of the page.
- Click on "Upload file" on the menu bar to the left.
- Click on the "Browse" button to select your portrait background's filename on your computer. Selecting your filename will automatically fill in the Source filename & Destination filename fields.
- You should then fill in the Summary field with {{Portraitbackground|YOUR_FORUM_NAME}}. Remember to replace YOUR_FORUM_NAME with your actual forum name.
- Click on the "Upload file" button.
If an image file with the same name already exists, please rename yours (unless you are updating your entry).
If you make changes to your entry and need to update the image, login to YPPedia. Go to the page for it (the URL will be something like http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Image:filename.png) and click on "Upload a new version of this file." Follow steps 3-4 above and click on the "Save file" button to replace the old image with the new one.
If you have trouble uploading or updating your entry, you can ask for assistance on the help desk page.
DO NOT VANDALIZE OTHER ENTRIES OR MAKE CHANGES TO ENTRIES THAT ARE NOT YOURS. Any malicious changes to other people's entries will be rolled back and the vandal will be appropriately punished.
