Summary

  • Images are stored on Wikimedia Commons so that they can be used by all languages versions and sister projects of Wikipedia
  • Images to be uploaded to the Commons must be free to be reused by anyone
  • Non-free images may be stored on Wikipedia's servers, but only in certain circumstances and only if a free equivalent is not possible
  • The Insert  menu's "Images and media" option in the VisualEditor toolbar allows you to upload new images and insert existing ones
  • You should describe each new images with a caption and with alternative text so that readers can understand them
  • Sets of images can be inserted as a "Gallery" if individual images are insufficient
