More Info On SVG Images

You can create SVG files and upload them to wiki pages. When you link to them, you need to link to the image data itself (and not to the page containing it). Here’s how to do this. Assume we have a file called Subsector.svg and we want a link called Map to this image.

  1. First, we need to upload the image somewhere. We need a special link for this. Let’s visit the HomePage.
  2. Click on Comments on HomePage
  3. Replace “Add your comment here.” with [[image:Subsector.svg]]
  4. Click on Save
  5. Click on the question-mark after [image:Subsector.svg]
  6. Click on Browse… and choose the file
  7. Click on Save
  8. The resulting page looks weird. It says “This page contains an uploaded file:” but what follows is just the name of the image, not the image itself. Do a right click on the image name and choose Copy Image Location.
  9. Go to the page where you want the Map link. Let’s return to the HomePage.
  10. Click on Edit this page
  11. Move to where you want the link, put [ and paste the image location, add a space and Map]. The result could look something like the following: [http://campaignwiki.org/wiki/Kaylash/download/Karte.svg Map] (where “Karte.svg” is your “Subsector.svg”)
  12. Click on Save

The result for our example: Map.

You can create SVG maps using the Traveller Subsector Mapper, for example.
