How to: Add images to the Wiki

This page describes how to very quickly add an image to the Wiki.

Use Case

You want to add an image to the Wiki, but you have no / do not want to use a separate file server.

Adding images explained by adding images

This approach uploads files to GitHub and copies their upload url for use in the Wiki. For that, you will need a dummy issue, which you will not actually create.

• Go to the Issue Tracker and Create a new issue (Don't worry, you will not actually create the issue)
• Drag and drop any image file into the writing text box

• The file will be uploaded to GitHub's user content. You will see the url after the upload is completed, e.g. ![image2](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5516900/28625071-70c1dbee-721b-11e7-8154-0dab00e37583.png)
• Simply copy that string to your Wiki page
• Do not actually create the issue
