From My wiki test

This page explains the image syntax when editing the wiki. Before using images, you must Template:Mediawiki and upload a file.

Template:Hl3\|Description	Template:Hl3\|You type	Template:Hl3\|You get
Embed image (with alt text)	`[[Image:Example.jpg\|Sunflowers]]`	Image:Example.jpg

Link directly to file	`[[Media:Example.jpg]]` `[[Media:Example.jpg\|Sunflowers]]`	Media:Example.jpg Sunflowers
Thumbnail (centered, 100 pixels wide, with caption)	`[[Image:Example.jpg\|center\|thumb\|100px\|Sunflowers]]`	Image:Example.jpg Sunflowers
Border (100 pixels) Results in a very small gray border	`[[Image:Wiki.png\|border\|100px]]`	Image:Wiki.png
Frameless Like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width but without border and no right float.	`[[Image:Example.jpg\|frameless]]`	Image:Example.jpg

[edit] Syntax

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, or frame: Controls how the image is formatted
left, 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}
Special cases:
- page=1: displays the specified page when showing a djvu file.

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] Other files

You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.

[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 (see Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:

http://url.for/some/image.png

[edit] Gallery of images

It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <gallery> 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:

Example.jpg Item 1	Example.jpg a link to Help:Contents	Example.jpg	Example.jpg
Example.jpg italic caption
