Title: WIKIPEDIA HELP HELP HELP
Post by: Daddy on January 21, 2009, 07:34:38 PM
I updated an image.
Let's use this page for an example.
uhm have to fix the link lol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Death_penalty_statutes_in_the_United_States.svg)

How would I upload the new version without erasing the version history and such?

what do i do, do i just normally upload the image with the same name? also what license if it is in the wikimedia commons :(
ZIFAG WHERE AREYOU

Reaper doesn't do anything. I removed his admin status a long time ago, and replaced it with a placebo. He doesn't know the difference.

What made you think that we would know? Did you try google, besides I'm pretty sure that there's a page on that.

well since i don't see any "upload new version of this file" buttons, just upload it to commons or whatever with the same name

Yeah, Zidone, it was the commons.

I tried Wikipedia and it said that since it already existed to use the Wikimedia Commons. Then I tried that and it said my account is too new so idk how long I'll have to wait.  akudood;
