How do I put an image on a page?

To put an image on a page you are editing, first you must upload the image file to the wiki.

  1. Go to Special:Upload and click the Browse button. Locate the image file on your computer.
  2. The Destination Filename will automatically fill in. Click Upload file.
  3. The following page should confirm the upload successful, and have a title: Image:Filename.jpg

Next you will need to use the image tag to put the image into the page you are editing.

Open the Edit this Page window for the page you want to put the image in.


Where you want the image to go, put the following tag in:

[[Image:Filename.jpg]]

It is the title of the image page you just uploaded within 2 sets of square brackets around it.


If you wish make the image a thumbnail smaller than the actual image size, specify it thus:

[[Image:Filename.jpg|150px]]

(which makes it 150 pixels wide).


You may also wish to make the image a thumbnail with a frame:

[[Image:Filename.jpg|thumb|150px]]

Note: a thumbnail image will always be aligned to the right of the page.


If you wish to add a caption to the thumbnail, simply use another "Pipe":

[[Image:Filename.jpg|thumb|150px|This is the caption]]
