MediaWiki User Guide/Images

Mediawiki supports the use of images in various formats. In order to be used in a wiki, image first needs to be uploaded, to which we come later. Placing images The following is an overview of placing images into pages, such images that have already been uploaded. + Placing of images Task Markup Default Frame Note Image [[Image:image_name.png]] No The image is shown in its full size as found in the file. Image with thumb [[Image:image_name.png|thumb|A caption text of the image.]] Yes Thumbs are always scaled down so as not to exceed an upper limit on the size. Image without thumb, with restricted size [[Image:image_name.png|150px]] No Location: 'right' 'left' 'center' 'none' Galleries Images can be put into a gallery as follows.
