Use the form below to upload a file, whether it's an image, an audio clip, or a video clip. To view or search previously uploaded files, see the [[Special:FileList|list of uploaded files]]. Uploads and reuploads are logged in the [[Special:Log/upload|upload log]] and deletions are logged in the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]]. '''Copyrighted music must be clipped to 30 seconds or less, with a fade-out.'''
The text in the summary box is preloaded
'''NOTE:''' If you're uploading a new version of a file, you may not see the change right away. '''If that happens, don't re-upload or revert the file; you need to {{wp|Wikipedia:Bypass your cache|hard-refresh the page}} or clear your browser's cache to see the change.'''
{{color|'''WARNING:'''|red}} Remember that your upload(s) '''''must''''' abide by British copyright law, as failure to do so would result in copyright violations and '''wiki closure'''. Miraheze is based in the United Kingdom, which uses a {{plain link|[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exceptions-to-copyright#fair-dealing fair dealing system]}}; it is similar yet slightly stricter than America's {{wp|fair use}} system.

== Guidelines ==
* When uploading a file, please specify its license. '''All licensed media pertaining to the main ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise are copyrighted by Nintendo themselves, and third-party and licensed media are copyright of their respective parties. They are being used here under
* Please provide an appropriate file name. For example, if you're uploading a PNG image depicting [[Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', name it "Mario SM64 artwork.png" rather than "2025345-35345a.png".
* Users are allowed to upload
* Whenever possible, please upload images in image formats that are less prone to quality loss when resized; for instance, instead of uploading a [[Wikipedia:JPEG|JPEG]] ('''.jpg''') file, upload a [[Wikipedia:Portable Network Graphics|Portable Network Graphics]] ('''.png''') image if you can find one, but '''DO NOT''' convert a JPG to a PNG, as this does not reduce the quality and only bloats the file size. When uploading sprites, please make sure that the background of the image is transparent (unless it is taken from a low quality screenshot, in which case the image needs to be replaced in any case).
* If you are uploading an image of poor or dubious quality (e.g. ones that have a watermark on them), be sure to add {{
== Placing files in articles ==
Line 19:
* '''<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:file}}<nowiki>:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]</nowiki></tt>''' to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
* '''<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:media}}<nowiki>:File.ogg]]</nowiki></tt>''' for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
