== Adding the Image to the Page ==
Compared to what you just went through, this part is easy. Go to the page where you want that image to appear and edit it. Insert a blank line where you want the image to go -- for basically any page, the first image is always at the top, and goes on the second line, under the page type markup and before the page quote (if the page has a quote) and the description text. (Unless the page has an infobox, in which case, see below.) If there's a {{tl|Needs Image}} template on the page, delete it and put your image there. (On a Characters subpage, an image of a character goes just below the header that names the character, and above the character description and trope list.) Type two left square brackets, and then paste in the filename you just copied from the page you came from. The line will look like
{{quote|<nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Name of Your Uploaded File.jpg}}
Line 134:
Of course you don't have to use all of these, in case we haven't made it clear, but it's better to know how, right?
=== If the page has an infobox ===
As of mid-2021, only [[:Template:Infobox book|Literature]] and [[:Template:Infobox episode|Episode recap]] pages have infoboxes, and their use is not mandatory. If there's already one on the page, or if you're adding one, here's how to add an image to the infobox.
You'll see a line "image = " in the infobox. Put the name of the image on that line, after the equals sign, but do not include the "File:" part of the name. The infobox will do all the hard work of resizing and positioning the image for you.
If you want to add a caption to the image, add it to the "caption = " line in the infobox.
=== Finishing Up ===
