Tip
After uploading a new version of the file it is recommended that you force a refresh of the page in the browser. Otherwise the browser may display the old version in the file from within its cache. And you might think your new file version has not updated.
Find the File Page
Sometimes an image links to a different place than the File page. In these cases you need to look for the File page name in the wiki text.
- On the page with the image, click on the icon or tab (depends on the theme chosen) at the top
- Find the wiki markup for the image, it should look something like
[[File:Kde.png|link=Special:myLanguage/An introduction to KDE]]
- Find the File page name in the beginning of the markup, i.e. the text between [[ and | (in the example above File:Kde.png)
- Enter http://userbase.kde.org/File_page_name in the web browser's location bar, for example
http://userbase.kde.org/File:Kde.png
