Adding picture files

To add a picture to a page using the Wiki system:

• Edit the page (click the Edit tab near the upper right)
• Click the small image icon at the top of the editing window
  • This will add the text [[File:Example.jpg]]
• Replace Example.jpg with something unique to the page
  • Like, PineCreekFirstRappel.jpg
  • FirstRappel.jpg would be a poor name because there are probably lots of pages that would want to use that file name
• Finish any other edits and save the page (Click Save page at the bottom left after entering a Summary of what you changed)
• The page will now be displayed normally. Hopefully, you should see a red link with the file name you picked. If you see a picture instead, edit the page and pick a different file name.
• Click on the red link and upload your picture (there is currently a 2MB size limit)
• Now, when you go back to the page, you should see your picture

How to reference your image file name

Files uploaded from a canyon page have their filename prepended by the canyon name. So when directly referencing the file using `[[File:…` you need use the full name, not just the “short” name `{{pic…` uses.

Example:

• This works:

  [[File:Burns_Gulch_BlackSwiftDisclaimer2.jpg|800px]]

• This will not work:

  [[File:BlackSwiftDisclaimer2.jpg|800px]]

Changing the way pictures look on a page

There are lots of ways to change how the picture is displayed on the page. See the MediaWiki documentation for more information, but here are some basics

• The simplest way to display a picture is

[[File:Example.jpg]]

• If a picture is displayed too large, you can change its size by adding an explicit size (in pixels) at the end; this picture will be displayed 400 pixels wide:

[[File:Example.jpg|400px]]

• To display multiple pictures next to each other (to compare high flow to normal flow, for instance), use a gallery (example)

<gallery widths=300px heights=300px>
File:Example1.jpg|Caption of example1
File:Example2.jpg|Caption of example2
</gallery>

• To float an image to the right side of the page, just add a thumb tag (example)

[[File:Example.jpg|thumb]]

• To add a caption to an image, just add it at the end, separated by a bar

[[File:Example.jpg|this is a caption for example]]

• Many of these things can be combined at once

[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|400px|this is a caption for example]]
