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 technical manual for details) and you have to upload a file.

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:

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.

Template:/frameTemplate:/frameTemplate:/frameTemplate:/frame
Template:Hl3|You type Template:Hl3|You get

Size and Frame

Among different frame type, the effect of the size parameter may be different, as shown below.

Template:/sizeTemplate:/sizeTemplate:/sizeTemplate:/size
Template:Hl3|Frame Template:Hl3 colspan=3|You get

Border and Frame

Template:/borderTemplate:/borderTemplate:/borderTemplate:/border
Template:Hl3|Frame Template:Hl3 colspan=2|You get

Alignment

[[Image:Wiki.png|50px]] (no alignment specified, or default alignment) text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text File:Wiki.png text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

[[Image:Wiki.png|50px|none]] (specify alignment as none) none none none none none none none none none none

[[Image:Wiki.png|50px|left]] left left left left left left left left left left

Other files

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

Or with different text:

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:

Gallery of images

It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails only, not other images, with the <gallery> tag. The syntax is:

<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>

Note that the image code is not enclosed in brackets when enclosed in gallery tags.
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''
Image:Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
</gallery>

is formatted as:
