Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded images go to the list of uploaded files. Uploads and deletions are also logged in the upload log.

Please review the KoL Wiki Image Use Policy before uploading files.

For images, the Summary field should be a template invocation specifying the image origin. In most cases that would be one of:

  • {{kolimage}} is used for images coming directly from the game itself. This has fields to specify the directory in which the image is found as well; for example, {{kolimage|itemimages|club.gif}}, {{kolimage|adventureimages|spider1.gif}}, or {{kolimage|otherimages/plains|bat_hole.gif}}.
    • Specify renamed=1 if the image was renamed to avoid an image name conflict. Image name conflicts should be added to the filename issues table.
  • {{modkolimage}} is used for images that have been modified by users for various purposes. This could include splitting up a large image into several pieces, so each piece can be used for a distinct link, or used on other pages.

To include the image in a page, use a link like [[File:file.gif]]. There are other options as well.
