Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.

To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
  • [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file


RULES ON UPLOADS

  1. Do not submit copyrighted work without the owner's permission! See PRIMUS Database:Copyrights for details.
  2. Uploaded files must linked to a page within Primus Database. Unlinked files will eventually be removed to ensure site stability.
  3. Uploaded files must be under 5MB in size, but preferably should be under 1MB.
  4. Uploaded files must be under 3000px by 3000px in dimension! It is however preferable that they should be sized adequately for the intended use e.g don't upload a 1000px by 1000px image for use as a 50px by 50px thumbnail

Images which do not comply with these Rules 3 and 4 above can and will cause problems with display pages within the Wiki!

That said, if you upload a file and it breaks (it doesn't display an image preview), just let one of us mods know so we can go fix it up. In the meantime, upload the image again under a different filename, but do so after shrinking it down in size via GIMP or Irfanview or something like Pixlr.
