Introduction
Using images on your wiki article is very easy to do, this tutorial will show you how.
Basic Syntax
You can create images like this,
Using:
[[File:Notepad-48.png]]
You can also use:
[[Image:Notepad-48.png]]
Advanced Techniques
Position
If you want to change the position of an image of an image, like this:
Then you could use something like this!: [[File:Notepad-48.png|centre]] (change centre for left or right depending on what you want)
Size
If you want to change the size of an image:
Then try this:
[[File:Notepad-48.png|32px]] (32px is how large you want the image to be)
Caption
Want to add a cool caption to your image? (see right)
Then use this syntax!
[[File:Notepad-48.png|thumb|A Really Cool Caption]] (by default, the thumb syntax aligns to the right - see below for the syntax to stop it!)
Putting it All Together (Scenario)
So lets say that you had a "proper" image - like Mr Gray in a pirate hat for example - that you wanted on the left hand side, 70px big, and a caption saying 'Pirate hat'...
... then here is the code!
[[File:Gray_pirate.jpg|thumb|left|70px|Pirate hat]]
Notes
In some cases, you may want to link to a picture.
The result will give a full url like this:
It can be done with this code: [[Media:Notepad-48.png]]
- Linking to false pictures will create a red link that upon clicking will allow you to upload the picture, like this File:Wow Does Not Exist.fake
