[edit] Uploaded files
To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:
[[Image:Example.jpg]]
If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
[[Image:Example.jpg|alternative text]]
If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
[[:Image:Example.jpg]]
To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace:
[[Media:Example.jpg]]
You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
[[:Image:Example.jpg|link text]] [[Media:Example.jpg|link text]]
[edit] Advanced options
The full syntax for displaying an image is:
[[Image:{name}|{options}]]
Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
thumb
,thumbnail
, orframe
: Controls how the image is formattedleft
,right
,center
,none
: Controls the alignment of the image on the page{width}px
: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels{caption text}
The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.
[edit] Gallery of images
It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the
tag. The syntax is:
<gallery> Image:{filename}|{caption} Image:{filename}|{caption} {...} </gallery>
Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
for example:
<gallery> Image:Example.jpg|Item 1 Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]] Image:Example.jpg Image:Example.jpg Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption'' </gallery>
is formatted as:
a link to Help:Contents |

[edit] Other files
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page. This feature has to be enabled by the admin; in the new releases of MediaWiki it's disabled due to security reasons.
[http://url.for/some/image.png]
Or with different text:
[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]
If it is enabled on your wiki, you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the url:
http://url.for/some/image.png
