-<div id="Uploadtext" style="border: 1px solid grey; background: #ddf; color:#000; padding: 10px 30px; margin: 0 auto;">'''Halopedia is not an image hosting site. Any images you upload must be used in Halopedia's articles or in your own personal userspace.'''
+Use the form below to upload files.
+To view or search previously uploaded files go to the [[Special:FileList|list of uploaded files]], (re)uploads are also logged in the [[Special:Log/upload|upload log]], deletions in the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]].
-Please ensure that the image you're about to upload doesn't already exist. MediaWiki has the functionality to detect duplicate images. If, after uploading, you find the image already exists, please tag your image for [[:Category:Candidates for deletion|deletion]] and use the existing image.
+To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
+* <strong><code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:file}}<nowiki>:File.jpg]]</nowiki></code></strong> to use the full version of the file
+* <strong><code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:file}}<nowiki>:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]</nowiki></code></strong> to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with "alt text" as description
+* <strong><code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:media}}<nowiki>:File.ogg]]</nowiki></code></strong> for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
-When you upload an image to Halopedia be sure to select an appropriate '''license''' from the dropdown box. For more information, see our [[Help:Images|help pages]].</div>
+When you upload a file to {{SITENAME}}, we ask that you fill out the file description form as accurately as possible. Please ensure that the image complies with our [[Project:Media policy|media policy]] and that the filename starts with the proper [[Project:Acronyms|acronym]]. For more information, see the [[Help:Images|help page]].
+The upload form will apply most file categories automatically, excluding [[:Category:Images by subject|image subject]] subcategories. These can be added using the category tool below.
