PICTURES

The page I'm working on already has an excellent 'header' image right across the top of the page, which I don't intend to change. However...I have managed to source 4 excellent and extremely unusual mini-images, which I want to drop in alongside the relevant text. How do I go about this? MUNDIMAPPA ----

@MUNDIMAPPA: If you took the photos and own the copyright, you can upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Then, add something like
[[File:Image name.jpg|thumb|Caption]]
to the article you're working on. If you don't own the copyright, then unfortunately we probably cannot use the images (but feel free to post more details and I'm happy to give a more specific response). If you have any further questions, please let me know. —Granger (talk · contribs) 05:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You said "mini-images". The images in our articles are just thumbnails of the larger images at Commons. I would not use low-resolution images, unless they are really special. Upload good quality, high resolutions ones if at all possible. –LPfi (talk) 18:16, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Offline app

Is there an offline app to read wikivoyage? —The preceding comment was added by 37.167.232.12 (talkcontribs)

Hi. There is no official offline version of Wikivoyage, however there is provision here to download PDF versions of individual articles, or to create a book from a series of articles of your choice; these are free services, and can be found in the left-hand sidebar on the desktop version, under 'Print/ export'.
There is also at least one app available from the Play store, which you can download for free and which works completely offline. However, it's published by someone external to Wikivoyage, and so we can't guarantee that it is up-to-date or complete compared to the web version of Wikivoyage. Hope this helps, ThunderingTyphoons!
