It's a simple process. Over in the menu along the left edge of every page, there is a link reading "Upload file". (It's actually there twice, once at the top, the sixth item, and once more down under the "tools" submenu.) Click it and it will take you to a page where you can pick the file you want to upload on your computer, add a description, pick a license type, and add categories. When uploading an image, please please please provide as much info as you can about the source in the description field, including the original URL and any copyright/ownership information.

If you got the image off another site, the license will be either "Fair Use", or the license used by that site. In particular, wikis use Creative Commons licenses, and the license information is usually linked on the bottom of their pages, so you can just go look and see what they use. If you got the image off Wikipedia or from the Wikimedia Commons ([[:File:Cooking with Dog.jpg|like this one]]), there's a special license selection for that. And if you created the image, there's a special license for allowing your own work on the wiki -- [[:File:Anissa jones as buffy.jpg|here's an example of that]]. (What constitutes "created by you" is actually surprisingly broad, as the image at that link might suggest.) |

Don't worry about the section that lists what pages link to the image, that's generated automatically by the wiki. |
