After you have captured the shots see

PNGs for Screenshots

wiki.modplugin.org/index.php/Capturing_Screenshots

you can then load them into the wiki. In the toolbox on the left hand side you will find upload file. Click on it find your photo/screenshot and upload it. Only one screenshot per page so give it a unique title. When you have them all saved you may decide you need to crop them further see here.


Using Images After you've uploaded a file, you can use it in an article, with some special wiki syntax to create the link. See Help:Images.

Your file gets its very own “File Description Page” within the File namespace of the wiki. You should edit this page to provide more information about the file. For example, many public wiki projects are quite sensitive to copyright issues, and so you should explain where you got the file from, and what its copyright status is, on the description page. Any other useful descriptive notes could also be added there.
