It's a little more complicated, but the same process once you get the hang of it. When logged in, you'll see a link to [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] on the menu. Select that link, upload your media, and make a note of its file name. If it's called My picture.png, you can include it in any document with this syntax: <nowiki>[[File:My picture.png]]</nowiki>. Note files must also have unique names. When uploading pictures, it's best to use the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images Image syntax], which also lets you control layout and size. If you're editing an artist, you can upload a representative image using the form.

A better way to upload pictures is to first reference them in your document, for example, <nowiki>[[File:My image.jpg]]</nowiki>. Save that page, then you'll see a 'redlink' where the image should go. Select that link, which immediately takes you to the file upload form.
