Editing How to Upload an Image (section)

== Step-by-Step File Upload Guide ==

=== 1. Check Media Categories for Existing File ===

If the image already exists but has low quality, use the '''"Upload a new version"''' button to update it without changing the name and preserving links in articles.
If the file does not exist, upload a new image.

=== 2. File Naming ===

When choosing a file name, use the article title (e.g., "Storage TMA"). If an article has multiple files and the name is already taken, add a description of the element or action (e.g., "Storage TMA move").

=== 3. Starting the Upload ===
* On the right panel of the main page, click the '''"Upload file"''' button.

=== 4. File Naming ===
* In the <code>"New filename:"</code> field, enter the name.
* '''Maintain a consistent style:'''
** Use Latin letters.
** Name the file analogously to the article (example: <code>Globula_Pyrumorosa.jpg</code>).

=== 5. Description and Categorization ===

In the <code>"Summary:"</code> field, specify the category:

<span style="color:red"><b>This is a mandatory requirement. Do not forget to do this!</b></span>
