=== File types Accepted === | |||
*We prefer a jpeg (.jpg) file as it is usually in a compressed format and requires less storage. | |||
*If you send us a bitmap (.bmp) we may have to ask you to convert it to jpeg if it is too big | |||
*We will accept PDF files, but will treat them as uneditable images, so written documents in PDF form are discouraged, since the whole purpose of a Wiki is to allow edits | |||
*Other image types (e.g. .svg, .png, etc.) may be rejected if we are not able to view them with a standard viewer. Our advice is to convert them to .jpg before submitting them. | |||
