Hi MD!

Since I responded on this thread once before, I got a Wiki notification when you posted the above message. And I know the answer to your question. You can't copy-and-paste an image directly...you have to upload the file to this Wiki first and then insert the image into the collections table.

I use Source Mode when editing on this Wiki. I'm not sure if these instructions are different when editing using the Classic Editor or the Visual Editor but, if you are using one of these instead, hopefully you can figure it out based on what follows.

First, I recommend having two browser tabs/windows open, one for the List of Collections page you're editing and another for your uploads. This will allow you to flip back and forth quickly so you can edit as soon as you have uploaded each image. And I recommend publishing your changes often so you don't lose any of your work. Before you upload each image, you will have to save it to your device. When you're ready to upload an image, in your upload browser tab/window, make sure you have a page (any page) for this Wiki pulled up and look for the Contribute drop down button towards the upper right of the page (to the right of the SSHM Wiki navigation links). Click on Contribute and then on the Add a Photo option. This takes you to the upload photo page where you can browse for the image on your device and upload it. No need to make any changes to the upload options but do take note of the file limitations. Then on the Collections browser tab/window, click Edit on the collections table section and, in Source Mode, navigate to the row where you want to add the image. You will probably have two options for inserting an image: (1) use the Add photo button in the toolbar above the source code or (2) on the right side of the page in the Add features and media section, click on the Photo button. Either one will open the Add Photo dialog box (pop-up window). In that window, you should see your newly uploaded image is the first, or close to first, one available. Click on the image or the link below it to proceed to the next step. Keep the default options and click on the Add photo button to insert the source code. The source code will appear similar to the sample line below and you will need to change the end of your source code line to match the thumb|40px|centre portion in the sample:



'Thumb' indicates a thumbnail version will be inserted instead of the full image file version. '40px' reduces the image size to match other images in the table. This doesn't mean your image will be the same size as the other images in the table; you may have to adjust this number if your original image size is larger or smaller than the ones Foss had uploaded for the rest of the table. 'Centre' will center the image in the table cell (unfortunately not an option provided in the Add photo dialog box). Click on one of the preview options to make sure everything will look right after you publish. When ready, click Publish to complete the changes.

Hope this helps.
