Avoiding White Borders

Starting Out
Look to the picture on the right. We all recognize it as the file "File: Ocsilh.png" that we start out with in the infobox. (If you do not understand how to use the infobox, click *here*.) Normally, one would uplaod their own file to the wiki and replace the one already existing on the page. Another option is to take their desired photo and simply replace the file name with a direct link or a URL. It is best to use the first option. Not only is it easier, but it can also make for an easier time of fitting your picture into the inbox.

Do you see how the top and bottom of the picture does not fit the entire space? That is because of the mysterious white border, which some of you have asked about. Worry not, a solution has been found! To fit the entire picture into the borders of your infobox, first go into "Edit" mode and select the "Source" tab. There, you will see the following:
 * Please note: This only works if your file has first been uploaded to the wiki.

Fitting In
The original file itself is the "" text. Erase that, leaving a blank to insert the new file name.

For example:

And now, you should be seeing:

Insert your file name in the blank. It should be formatted like so:.
 * Please Note: Do NOT place it in as a thumb file.

Once you have added your desired photo, go back into "Source" mode and add a | directly next to the file name. This is not a letter, most keyboards have this if you were to use the Shift + \ combination.

For example:. The small line that was just added will adjust the size of your picture. To avoid getting a white border, the minimum size is 300 px. It will not work if you forget the px!!

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT EXCEED 300px. Naturally, anything less will result in a white border. The resulted format should look like this:.

But wait! This will not solve everything. To ensure that there is no dreaded white border, remove all space leading to the file name.

For example:

DO NOT DELETE THE | SIGN BEFORE THE FILE NAME. Only backspace enough so that there is no space between it and your file name.

The Result
The completed procedure should look like this: And this is how the "Source" mode Edit should look:
