==Uploaded files==

To use an image or other file which has been [[Help:Managing files|uploaded to the wiki]], use:

*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>

If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:

*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg|alternative text]]</nowiki></code>



If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:

*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>

To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace: 

*<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>

You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:

*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>

*<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>



===Advanced options===

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>

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.



===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>



==Other files==

You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for [[Help:Links#External links|linking to an external web page]]. This feature has to be enabled by the admin; in the new releases of MediaWiki its disabled due to security reasons.

*<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, you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the url:

*<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code>
