If anyone knows how to put custom images and thumbnails onto articles, can you please tell me? Thanks in advance! --Smalldrthrd (talk) 22:35, 2 March 2015 (CET)

Images need to be uploaded to the wiki in order to be displayable in articles. Once that's done you can include images in articles by "linking" to them. [[File:Grid Crafting Table.png]] looks like this:

There are also a few display options you can specify after the file name. For example, this code will display a 100 pixel wide thumbnail of the image on the right side of the article: [[File:Block Crafting Table.png|thumb|right|100px|A plain old workbench.]]

A plain old workbench.

Those options can be left out if you don't use them - usually it's best to not set a fixed width for thumbnails, that way the user's settings control the display width, but for normal non-thumbnail images you almost always need to set a custom width so that the image doesn't fill half of the page. The last option, if not recognized by the wiki software, is always displayed as the thumbnail description.

We also use a certain naming scheme for inventory-style images of blocks and items. File:Grid [itemname].png is always a 32*32px small version of the block/item, used in recipe templates and navboxes, whereas File:Block [itemname].png and File:Item [itemname].png are larger versions. The Block variant is used for items that are displayed in 3D in the inventory, like most solid blocks, and the Item variant is used for those that display as a flat texture, such as tools, but also some blocks like torches and rails.

If one of those images is missing, it's best not to upload it manually - RZR0 has an automated script that can do batch renders of item images straight from the game and upload them to the wiki. You are of course free to use any other image names as long as they don't start with Grid/Block/Item. --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 23:46, 2 March 2015 (CET)
