{{PD Help Page}}
This page explains the image syntax when editing the wiki. Before using images in your page, your wiki must have file uploads enabled (see the {{mediawiki|Manual:Configuring_file_uploads|technical manual}} for details) and you have to [[Help:Managing files|upload a file]].

== Syntax ==
The full syntax for displaying an image is:
<code><nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{options}]]</nowiki></code>
Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
*<code>thumb</code>, <code>thumbnail</code>, <code>frame</code>, or <code>frameless</code>: Controls how the image is formatted
*<code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>center</code>, <code>none</code>: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
*<code>baseline</code>, <code>sub</code>, <code>super</code>, <code>top</code>, <code>text-top</code>, <code>middle</code>, <code>bottom</code>, <code>text-bottom</code>: Controls the vertical alignment of the image on the page
*<code>{width}px</code>: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
* Special cases:
** <code>page=1</code>: Displays the specified page when showing a djvu file
*<code>link={destination}</code>: Allows to link to an arbitrary title, URL or just nowhere ([[rev:41727|1.14+]])
*<code>alt={alternative text}</code>: For changing the alternative text (<code>alt=""</code>) of an image ([[rev:41837|1.14+]])
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.
== Frame ==
The following table shows the effect of all available frame types.

|-
|}
== Other files ==
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</nowiki></code>
Or with different text:
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</nowiki></code>
If it is enabled on your wiki (see {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages}}), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
*<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code>
== Gallery of images ==
It's easy to make a gallery of '''thumbnails only''', not other images, with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:
<pre>
<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>
</pre>
Note that the image code is not enclosed in brackets when enclosed in gallery tags. <br>
Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
for example:
<pre>
<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''
Image:Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
</gallery>
</pre>
is formatted as:
<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''
Image:Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
</gallery>
===Parameters===
The gallery tag itself takes several additional parameters:
<pre><gallery {parameters}> {images} </gallery></pre>
* <code>caption={caption}</code>: sets a caption on the gallery.
* <code>widths={width}px</code>: sets the widths of the images.
* <code>heights={heights}px</code>: sets the (max) heights of the images.
* <code>perrow={integer}</code>: sets the number of images per row.

== Other files ==
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</nowiki></code>
Or with different text:
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</nowiki></code>
If it is enabled on your wiki (see {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages}}), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
*<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code>
== Gallery of images ==
It's easy to make a gallery of '''thumbnails only''', not other images, with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:
<pre>
<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>
</pre>
Note that the image code is not enclosed in brackets when enclosed in gallery tags. <br>
Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
for example:
<pre>
<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''
Image:Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
</gallery>
</pre>
is formatted as:
<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''
Image:Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
</gallery>
===Parameters===
The gallery tag itself takes several additional parameters:
<pre><gallery {parameters}> {images} </gallery></pre>
* <code>caption={caption}</code>: sets a caption on the gallery.
* <code>widths={width}px</code>: sets the widths of the images.
* <code>heights={heights}px</code>: sets the (max) heights of the images.
* <code>perrow={integer}</code>: sets the number of images per row.
