You can upload files to the pages on this wiki, for example inline images, or attachments to be downloaded.

Some files are considered safe, and anyone can upload them to a wiki page that is editable. These files are distinguished by their extension:

 * plain text files: *.txt, *.dyalog, *.dyapp, *.ini

 * image files: *.gif, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png

 * pdf files: *.pdf

All other files, such as executables (*.exe) and zips (*.zip) require special consideration. You are responsible for ensuring that such files are properly created.

1. To upload them to a wiki page, you must already be the [[EditingGuidelines/OwnedPages|owner]] of that page. In that case, only you can upload attachments to that page.

To add an attachment to a wiki page that you cannot own, upload it to your personal page on the wiki, and then link to it. You need to be the [[EditingGuidelines/OwnedPages|owner]] of your personal page. Then link in the form: `[attachment:PeterSimple/myapp.zip myapp.zip]`

2. You can put up the file elsewhere on the web, and include the url in the wiki page.

Important note: the wiki software allows you to upload any type of file to a wiki page that is editable. However, any file that is not considered safe will be deleted. Please contact a wiki [[EditingGuidelines/administrator|administrator]] to request page ownership before you try to upload such a file.
