in general, I think it is a good idea to use screenshots, but keep in mind, that the text in the images is not searchable and therefore kind of duplicates the information of the wikipage. maybe it would be better to include only the parts of the patch that cannot be easily explained by text.
got it. but the texts are often not meanigfull right now - without the image.
and there is also the possibility to include images in the infobox insert a line like | example_image = [[Image:Makefile.png]] and the image should show up in the box.
i can place the images there - has pdpedia an automatic thumbnail generation like wikipedia? georg

hi,
thanks, i didn't know that this is a problem. I updated the makenote page. could you take a look on it and tell me if this is the right direction i'm going? (if this is the case, i would continue to upload screenshots - but i don't want it to be of no avail) georg

maybe this is related to the small cap first letter. which is buggy in wiki. I uploaded your image as Makenote2.png and that seems to work. Do you want to try it again? marius.

hi, i uploaded it to the mediapool: https://wiki.puredata.info/mediapool/Special:Imagelist the name is "makenote.png", no tilde etc. (for tilde one could use - instead [inside of filenames]?) with "makefile.png / en" i meant: https://wiki.puredata.info/en/makenote georg
marius schebella:
hi, I'm not seeing your file. did you upload it to the mediapool? I know that there are problems with special characters. for example tilde (~) is afaik not working. (so that would be great to fix, seems to be a major wiki issue). but besides that image upload should work. the image upload for the individual languages is turned off, to make all images accessible in all languages. maybe that is what you mean with makefile.png / en? marius.

hi,
i'm wondering why the image-upload in pdpedia isn't working. if the description consists of the comments in the help-patches anyway, screenshots would be much more readable. I uploaded one file, but couldn't get it to be displayed (makefile.png / en). Is there anything i could help with (perl/php etc.)?
