How do I upload a new image to the wiki?

The title says it all. I want to start uploading pictures of the individual tanks' tech trees, to be placed in each tank's gallery. How do I do this?

In case this information helps, I'm a new editor, and I have a feeling that access to the image uploading page is restricted to certain editors. How do I gain access to this feature? Do I need to edit a certain number of pages, or am I simply not looking in the right places?

Currently the best way is to post what you want to see uploaded to the Wiki here. You can do it in this thread, or make a new one. Give us a link to where the file is hosted and where you want it to end up at.

The ability to upload is restricted to people officially on the wiki team and while we are not recruiting we do value people who contribute to the wiki. (Kinda being the whole point of it being a Wiki after all).

Okay. If I find a good place to host some images, I'll start putting in requests. Thanks for the answer. I must say though, it's kind of a shame that only admins can upload images. It must restrict the flow of information a bit. Have you had problems with vandals or poor file naming in the past, or has the wiki always worked this way?

It's been that way since I've been around it.
