General

Character Pages

If you're adding strategy information to a Character page, One Armed.png One Armed is a good point of reference. It has a table for synergies and makes liberal use of the MiniIconbox template. Another good character page to reference is Mage.png Mage, who has a section for their starting items, and Ranger.png Ranger, who has a Notes section for their starting weapons.

Mod Pages

If you want to show things like character and weapon stats, Mod:Extatonion and Mod:Isaac_Characters_Mod are excellent points of reference, as they make great use of the special templates available.

Uploads

You can upload many images at once with the Batch Uploader. View uploaded files via Special:ListFiles.
