-* Identity and person infoboxes
+Adding a file to the wiki is easy! Click ''Insert'' in the edit toolbar, then click ''Media''. This will open a pop-up window where you can look up images that are already uploaded —just click any of these images to add them to the article! If you don't find the image you want, click the ''Upload'' tab to upload your own image. '''Important:''' make sure that the image you upload was created by you or, alternatively, that it has a free license. Copyrighted images that don't have a free license will be removed from the wiki!
