Uploading a file, such as an image

Uploading a file = creating a special page for it here: http://wiki.hackuarium.ch/index.php?title=Special:Upload
On your page, create an internal link with the usual syntax. Examples of code:

[[File:File-name.jpg|thumb|left|Legend in the box]] will put an image in a frame, on the left of the text, with a legend. [[File:document-name.pdf]] will link to the versioning page, where you can open the document. [[Media:document-name.pdf]] will open directly the document in the browser [[Media:document-name.pdf | New name]] try it!
