This page explains the image syntax when editing the wiki. Before using images, you must [[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>, or <code>frame</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>{width}px</code>: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
*<code>{caption text}</code>
* Special cases:
** <code>page=1</code>: 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.

== 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 [[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 with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:
<pre>
<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>
</pre>
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''
</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''
</gallery>
