Images or other files are used on Wikizilla to show what's being talked about and as a way of visually (or audibly in the case of sound files) conveying information. The maximum size for any individual file on Wikizilla is 20 MB.
Supported file types
Wikizilla supports the following file types for upload.
- .png - This type of file is very high quality and supports transparency.
- .jpg, .jpeg - These image files are compressed so that they may hold more than a PNG for less file size. This file also does not support transparency.
- .gif - The GIF file type is primarily known for being able to contain animated sequences. It has many less colors available than a PNG or JPG, so unless the image is animated, it is recommended not to use this type of file.
- .ogg - The OGG file type supports sounds, and it's the file type of all the roars on this site.
- .svg - SVG files are for containing vector graphics, which essentially means that the image does not use pixels at all and can be resized without losing quality. Example for why this file type would be used would be for displaying logos.
How to upload images
Images can be uploaded either through Special:Upload, or when editing a page by clicking on the 
above the editing box. From there you can select multiple files to upload, though if you try to upload too many at the same time, after a point the majority won't be uploaded.
Image standards
Image thumbnails are to be 200px and aligned to the right predominantly. Images are also supposed to go at the beginning of a paragraph, before any text--preferably immediatley before a header. Image captions should also never end in a period. Here's the wikitext for the sample image to the right:
