Only curators can upload and make available a new image/picture. Available images can be reviewed by category.

BoyWiki users must submit new images via email, and externally hosted images may not be linked inline with article text. Any image that is contributed must conform to the base guidelines and be submitted to be licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License by the copyright holder.

Basics

Basic wikicode

The basic wikicode is:

  • [[Image:filename.jpg]]

This would show the raw file

  • [[Image:filename.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|''Comment on the image'']]

In this case, it is a thumbnail centered left. 1.5 determines a proportion of the original file.


Media.boywiki

In the previous example, filename.jpg must be a file hosted on media.boywiki. It was dubbed the BoyWiki Media Repository and is a facility shared by the german, french and english versions of BoyWiki. To find out what images can I upload on BoyWiki? check out its main page. To have images uploaded there, ask one of the curators or send us word at Admin@boywiki.org, only don't send the images yet. Also check out this related help item.

SSL display issue

Since images used here are hosted on media.boywiki, which uses a different self-signed security certificate, they won't be displayed on this page until you make an exception for that certificate. This is done in the process of going to media.boywiki.org (you have to add an exception). Alternatively, any of the images below is two clicks away from media.boywiki. When you're done, come back here, refresh the screen if needs be, and all images will be displayed.


Examples

Gallery

A group of images can be displayed as a gallery. This example copied from the french BoyWiki is livre sans titre dédié aux jeunes gens et aux pères et mères de famille (Paris, 1830), a pamphlet warning teenagers and their parents against the inevitable consequences of masturbation.

He was a young, handsome boy, his mother's hope.
He corrupted himself. Soon he had to carry the burden of his guilt. He was old before his time. His back was bent.
A fire devours his guts. He has terrible stomach aches.
Not so long ago, his eyes were pure and bright. Not they are lit off, as if a stripe of fire circled them round.
He can't walk anymore. His legs fail him.
Terrible dreams are the cause of restless nights. He can't find sleep anymore.
His teeth are now rotting and falling off.
His chest is inflammated. He spits out blood.
His hair, once so fair, fall off as if he were an old man. He is balding before his time.
He is hungry. He wants to appease his hunger, but no food will remain his stomach.
His chest has fallen down. He vomits blood.
He has spots all over his body. He offers a terrible sight.
A fever slowly consumes him. He is languishing. His body is burning.
His body stiffens. He cannot move his arms and legs anymore.
He is delirious. His body is stiffening against death, but death is stonger.
At age seventeen, he draws his last breath in terrible sufferings
