Use the form below to upload files.
Multi-File Uploads
If you are uploading multiple files at once you may want to use the more advanced UploadWizard. Be sure to adhere to all the rules below when uploading files.
Schematics, Manuals, ROM Dumps, Advertisements, etc
Please do not upload anything made by the original manufacturer that would have an active copyright on it. This includes documentation materials like manuals and schematics, software like ROM dumps or drivers, or images like advertisements. These resources may be useful but are beyond the scope of this website. If you want to provide one of these files to the reader of the page reference something, please upload the files to https://archive.org/ and link to it. Archiving is part of their mission and they are more technically, and legally, capable of dealing with those types resources.
Metadata (ie, GPS)
If you have metadata embedded in your image it will be visible on the wiki. Most cell phones include GPS location data in photos taken now and if you upload a file straight from your phone it will likely include that. Automatically removing this data has been a long standing feature request for MediaWiki that doesn't seem to have made much progress so there isn't an easy way for the site to automate removal. It is possible to remove this data yourself though before you upload it.
Upload Management
To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.
