Help:Avatars

From Wikia Help

This extension is no longer under development It may still be on specific wikis, but may not be widely available.

You can upload an avatar to represent yourself on the wiki. It will appear in several locations, and gives users another way to give themselves an identity.

Note: The user avatars listed here are for the 2008 social profile system found on a few wikis. The new 2009 Blog system uses a different global avatar system.
