Better to contribute to Legion Pics?

Rather than uploading new full sized images to the Wiki, would it be more useful to contribute them to LegionPics? Also, is there a way to create thumbnails of images without uploading a new smaller image?

You can't contribute directly to LegionPics, and Lightning Lad is away just now. If in doubt, upload the image here as-is, since there should be a page written for the issue (eventually), and if it's really too big or anything of the sort, I can resize it. :)
Type [[Image:imagename.ext|thumb|caption]] for a small, free-floating right-aligned image, and [[Image:imagename.ext|thumb|left|caption]] for the same, only left-aligned (replacing the bolded bits as needed, obviously). If you're putting an image in an Infobox, put [[Image:imagename.ext|250px]] on the image= line of the code. (see Kinetix for examples of both).
Oh, and please sign comments on talk pages with - ~~~~, which turns out like this (only with your username, obviously :)): - Reboot 09:44, 7 July 2006 (PDT).
