# Go to [[Special:Upload]] to upload a file. | |||
## '''Destination filename''': use something descriptive. For live shows, include the artist name and the date of the performance. | |||
## '''Summary''': (optional): Free to put your name and a link to your social media accounts, etc. If you want to copyright your photos from being used without permission, and you have some special terms, state your terms here. | |||
## '''Licensing''': | |||
##* Use one of the "own work" options, preferably ''CC BY-SA 4.0''. This means anyone can freely share your photo so long as they give you credit, and the image shared must also have the same license with credits to you. | |||
##* Or if you chose to prevent reuse of your photo, chose "None selected" and include your licensing terms in the "Summary" section. | |||
## '''Categories''': Don't worry about [[mw:Help:Categories|categories]] unless you know what you're doing. | |||
# Add your photos to an article ([[Donating photos to SPCodex#Adding photos to articles|see below]]), if you want to! | |||

Flickr is a good alternative from upload directly because it is easier upload photos, however you must '''freely license your photos for reuse'''.<ref>One of the "Creative Commons" licenses must be used (preferably "Attribution-ShareAlike"), or "public domain".</ref> The other benefit to uploading freely to Flickr is that it can be transferred (by us) to [[C:|Wikimedia Commons]], which means it's usable by any wiki on the internet, including SPCodex and Wikipedia. This gives your photos lots of exposure on the internet, and you still are given credit for your work. | |||
