Instead you can use the file that has been already uploaded.

If your file is not on the wiki, you'll need to upload it.

The most common way to link to files on the wiki
+
-
uses the [[template:link]].
+
-
 
+
-
# Go to the description page of the already uploaded file.
+
-
# Copy the title of the description page. It will be something like: <code>Image:Demo Sunflower.png</code>
+
-
# Find the wiki page where you wish to place a link to this file
+
-
# Edit the page
+
-
# Add the text: <code><nowiki>{{link|</nowiki></code>
+
-
# Paste in the title of the description page. Something like: <code>Image:Demo Sunflower.png</code>
+
-
# Finish of with: <code>}}</code>
+
-
# You should end up with something like: <code><nowiki>{{link|Image:Demo Sunflower.png}}</nowiki></code>
+
-
# Save your changes.
+
-
# You should see the link to your page.
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
As with any wiki page you can further format your text. For instance by adding a <code>*</code>
+
-
to the start of your line so that it becomes a bulleted line by itself.
+
-
 
+
-
See [[template:link]] for options, including changing the text of the link.
