Images and icons
Updated 2026-07-24
Pictures make a wiki easier to read: a creature portrait, a food icon, a map. You add them as media, upload once, and reuse the address anywhere.
Add an image
- Open your wiki.
- Go to Media.
- Upload your image.
- Copy its URL, or just pick it from the library wherever you need it.
Show an image on a page
An image blockShows a single picture. Drop it onto the page and give it a URL.
An image columnSet a column display to Image and its cells become thumbnails. The natural home for a column of icons.
You rarely need the URL by hand. Every field that takes a picture has a Library button beside it, and shows the picture once chosen.
A field pointing at something since deleted says so in the editor, instead of leaving a broken image on the page.
Icons that follow an input
An image cell can hold a {{ }} token instead of a fixed URL. When it does, the picture is live: it changes whenever the token value changes.
The script returns
f1_icon = "https://.../icons/" .. row.icon .. ".webp"The cell holds
{{ tame.f1_icon }}A reader picksA different creature, and every row icon updates.
The taming calculator food icons work exactly this way.
Safe by default
Fails quietlyAn empty token, or one that is not a URL, shows a blank slot. Never a broken image.
No flickerThe first load uses the value already worked out on the server, so the right icon is there from the start.
