This '''[[MarioWiki:PipeProject|PipeProject]]''' is devoted to add as many images, and now that .ogg files can be uploaded onto the wiki, also as much audio (ogg vorbis), and as a bonus, video (ogg theora) files to the wiki ''as the bandwidth allows'' (current condition: Steve <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]]] has said that there is plenty of bandwidth, so there are no limitations as of yet). | This '''[[MarioWiki:PipeProject|PipeProject]]''' is devoted to add as many images, and now that .ogg files can be uploaded onto the wiki, also as much audio (ogg vorbis), and as a bonus, video (ogg theora) files to the wiki ''as the bandwidth allows'' (current condition: Steve <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]]] has said that there is plenty of bandwidth, so there are no limitations as of yet). | ||
As explained on [[Help:Media#Audio & Video|Help:Media]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Media_help|Wikipedia:Media help]], .OGG is the only format allowed for audio & video because it has no patents (and thus no copyright issues). If you're interested in contributing files, there is some information on converters below that can change WAV, WMV, AVI, MP3, and more to OGG and back. | As explained on [[Help:Media#Audio & Video|Help:Media]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Media_help|Wikipedia:Media help]], .OGG is the only format allowed for audio & video because it has no patents (and thus no copyright issues).

Type a number sign and three tildes (<nowiki>#~~~</nowiki>) if you want to help in any of the five goals (even if you can't upload, you can help organize files into articles with image tags or media templates).

Lack of images has been an ongoing problem on the wiki that you can help with at any time by seeing [[:Category:Articles that need an image|the image requested category]], which lists all pages marked with {{tem|image}}, find a picture via google or a website database, save it, change it if necessary, upload it, and add it properly, removing the image template as you do so. It is up to your judgment to decide which articles without an image ''could benefit from having at least one''. | ||

OGG isn't a file you will see for immediate download on most sites, if any. You'll need a converter to change your files to this patent-free format so the wiki software can accept it: | |||
====Convertfiles.com==== | |||
[[File:Convertfilescom.png|thumb|x100px|Uploading in progress.]] | |||
[http://www.convertfiles.com/ Convertfiles.com] provides free online conversion of files from and to most of the file types, including archive, document, presentation, e-book, drawing, image, audio, and video files. The audio files can be converted to .ogg, which later would be uploaded to the Wiki. | |||

====Online-convert.com==== | |||
[[File:Onlineconvertcom.png|thumb|x100px|Online-convert.com displaying the upload page.]] | |||
[http://online-convert.com Online-convert.com] is another online converter, but has more file types to choose. The audio files can be converted into OGG Vorbis on [http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg this page], and video files can be converted into OGG Theora-Vorbis on [http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg this page]. The converter is also limited to 100 Megabytes per file, which is five times lower than Convertfiles.com. To bypass this, try converting the file to .FLV then to .ogg. | |||
