Image Coding
Once you have an email-confirmed account on MLW as well as editing rights you can start adding pictures! Find the page on the wiki you would like to add an image to and look carefully at the page and decide where you would like the image to appear. You can then click on the edit tab on the top right of the page and the page will appear in its' coded form and you will be able to insert a new script that will allow you to upload your image.
Take one of the scripts below and copy and paste it to where you want your picture to appear.
Edit in your image name where it says imagename.jpg, and a description of your image where it says image description (links can appear in image descriptions).
For a full size picture use the following:
[[Image:imagename.jpg|frame|image description]]
For a thumbnail of a picture the following:
[[Image:imagename.jpg|thumb|image description]]
For an image of a specific but different size, edit the 300px to however many pixels (px) you want:
[[Image:imagename.jpg|300px|image description]]
After you have this fully edited script in place, the image name will appear in red where the image is supposed to be. Click on that link and you will be taken to an upload page. Browse your computer for the image and then give a little information about the image in the summary. Information such the image donor, what the image is of, etc.
Alternatively, you can first upload an image and then put the script into the wiki. By clicking on the
- Upload file
link in the toolbox on the bottom left of the page.
Externally linked images are not allowed, for the sake simplicity and not collecting broken images everywhere.

Adding My Own Images
Adding your own images is easy because you have apparently given yourself permission to do so, you don't have to ask anyone else. An image with no description or summary is assumed to be taken by the user who uploads it. If it is not an image you have taken yourself you need to indicate that in the image summary. I.e. image donated by ponyluv85.
Adding Other Peoples Images
To add another person's image you need to ask that persons permission. G1 pony collectors remember the days before digital cameras and are a little more concerned out getting the full credit for their photos that perhaps younger people might be.
