Hi Dugald,

I have added the image you suggested for the raladin page, very good idea by the way! I'm just messaging you now to show you how to add/use images and then add them to infoboxes.

First, unless the image has already been uploaded by someone else, you need to add the image to the wiki. This is fairly simple. You need to have the image saved on your computer. When editing, just below where you can change the text size (Heading/paragraph, etc...) you will see a button that should say when highlighted - Image. Here you can upload a new image, or search an existing one. If you upload a new one, make sure you get the copyright statement right (for instance the Raladin one I just uploaded is from the anime, so you would need to put it under the fair use anime statement). Thats all you need to do to upload/add an image to a page.

To add an image to an infobox, you need to be in editing mode, then click on the infobox and a popup should come up (for example the raladin page would say 'location infobox'), click on this and you will see multiple things you can type into the infobox, such as colour, image, residents, etc... Click on image and you would need to type in ((File:random.png|250px)). You will need to use this type of bracket  for the link (I can't use them here as it tries to add images so I just used normal brackets). 250px is the size this wiki uses for images in infoboxes, 'random' is the files name, this changes obviously with whatever image you use, so make sure when you upload an image you remember what you saved it as, png is the file type, be careful as sometimes an image can be uploaded as a jpeg or something different, I use paint to screenshot and snip images and it saves as png which is much easier. Make sure to preview before saving your edit, just to make sure you have done it right.

This seems like a lot so I hope I haven't confused you. Everything is just trial and error, remember if you muck it up, it can always be fixed, and there will always be someone to help you out. Soon it may be second nature to you. Have fun adding images.

Kind Regards,
