About images

Wikimedia Commons

Any picture you see on there, you can use on here without having to upload here. Just use the File: name as you would do if the file was uploaded locally. Like magic, your picture will still work!

Pictures you can and can't use

See EM:Copyrights.

Adding captions

It's the EM Wiki logo.

Just read the Wikipedia page

There's plenty of detail that I don't think this article will cover. But that's definitely the basics and more than enough for a lot of people.

See the Wikipedia help article here.
