			====Uploading new images====
			If you have new, relevant images then upload them and add them to the page they're intended for. It is appreciated if the pictures of items you add have a blank background and are in the .gif or .png format. The easiest way to add images of items is to download the [[Downloading the source code#Downloading\|source code]], open the icons .dmi files and export images as .gif's or .png's from there.

The easiest way to add images of items is to download the [[Downloading the source code#Downloading\|source code]], open the icons .dmi files and export images as .gif's or .png's from there.		Then upload them here: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Special:Upload

	~~Then~~ upload ~~them here~~: ~~https~~:~~//tgstation13~~.~~org/wiki/Special:Upload~~		====Updating existing images====
			It is possible for an image to become depreciated following an update to the source code. To update an existing, obsolete image you can visit the upload page, upload your new image, and then add the filepath of the old image you want to substitute. You can also visit its page on the wiki (by either clicking the image itself or searching for its name using the "File:" prefix in the searchbar), click on "upload a new version of this file" under "File history", and selecting your new image on the upload page.
			<br>All depreciated versions of the image will remaing in the File's history page for posterity.
			<br>'''IMPORTANT:''' Images can only be updated with files of the same format: .png images cannot be updated to .gif, and viceversa. This is because files are saved on a page which include their format in its name.
