=== Linked Images ===
By default, this system is configured to when you show an image and link in mediawiki, it links to it's description page. Sometimes, you want to use an image to link to a page of your choice. There are Starting in v. 1.14 you can link to an article by using the <code>link=</code> attribute in your image. See [[mw:HelpManual:Linked_images| many ways to make mediawiki link images]], but the most convenient that we settled on here is to use the [[mw:Extension:Icon|Icon extension]]The syntax (described at [[Icons]]) is<pre>{{#icon: Info.png|Info|24|floatright|Special:Help}}</pre> To get your image to float left or right, wrap the <nowiki>{{#icon}}</nowiki> in a div with the appropriate class like so: <nowiki><div class="floatright">{{#icon}}</div></nowiki> Although I modified the Icon extension to be able to specify a class in the icon tag itself, the extension now reveals some weaknesses that make me want to change to the LinkedImage extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkedImage
