See the Wikidoc's image use policy as a guideline used on Wikidoc. All information on this page is attributed to Wikipedia and its contributors

Type

 * "thumbnail" or "thumb": Image is scaled down to a standard, user specified width, by default 180 pixels, and a box is added around the image. If a caption is written, it is shown below the image. Image defaults to placement on the 'right' unless overridden with the 'Location' attribute (see above).
 * "frame": Original image size is preserved, and a box is added around the image. If a caption is written, it is shown below the image.
 * (nothing specified): Original image size is preserved, no border is added around the image. If a caption is written, it is not shown.
 * "border": Same as if nothing is specified, but a border is added around the image.

Location

 * "right": Image including its box is placed on the right side of the page. The article text that follows the image flows around the image.
 * "left": Image including its box is placed on the left side of the page. The article text that follows the image flows around the image.
 * "center": Image including its box is placed in the center of the page. The article text that follows the image is placed below the image.
 * "none": Image including its box is placed on the left side of the page. The article text that follows the image is placed below the image.

Size

 * "100px": Scales the image down to make it 100 pixels wide. Replace any number for 100. If you specify "thumbnail" and a value here, this value will take precedent. If the image is already smaller than your specified value, the image stays at its size.
 * "100x200px": Scales the image to be no wider than 100 pixels and no higher than 200 pixels. Image will keep its original aspect ratio

Caption
Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is assumed to be caption text.

New advanced syntax for inserting images
The new syntax is backward compatible, so articles don't have to be changed. In the syntax   (e.g.    shown in the left), several options can be set when including an image. Those affect the placing of the image, its size or the way the image will be presented. The options are right, left, center, none, sizepx, thumbnail (thumb</tt>), frame</tt>, and alternate (caption) text</tt>.

The options can be combined, and vertical bars ("|") are used to separate options from each other. The options can be put in any order. An unknown option is taken as the caption text, but this seems to appear only if thumbnail</tt> is specified. If there are two or more unknown options, the last one upstages the rest:  </tt> (shown on the right).

Here is the description of the options other than the caption text:


 * right</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|70px|]]The image is right-aligned, and text floats to the left of the image:  [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|70px|]] </tt> (shown on the right).
 * left</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|left|70px|]]The image is left aligned, and text floats to the right of the image:  [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|left|70px|]] </tt> (shown on the left).
 * center</tt> : The image is centered, and...[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|center|70px|]]the text following the image starts below it:  [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|center|70px|]] </tt> (shown above).
 * none</tt> : The image is put at the left, and...[[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|70px|]]the text following does not float to the right (or to the left, obviously), and starts below it:  [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|70px|]] </tt> (shown above).


 * Notes:
 * [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|right|center|left|70px|]]The above four options are incompatible. When used combined, the last one overrides the rest:  [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|none|right|center|left|70px|]] </tt> (shown on the left).


 * [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|70px|right]]What is between the last vertical bar and the closing brackets ("]]"), void or not, is taken as the last option, and works as usual. For instance, when the last option is right</tt>, the image is right-aligned, and text floats to the left:  [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|70px|right]] </tt> (shown on the right).


 * [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is not displayed.|70px|left|]][[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is displayed.|70px|right]]In particular, if the last option is the void text (that is, if there is nothing between the last vertical bar and the closing brackets), the caption is not displayed: <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is not displayed.|70px|left|]] </tt> (shown on the left) and <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|This text is displayed.|70px|right]] </tt> (shown on the right).


 * <tt>sizepx</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|]]This option renders a version of the image that's [size] pixels wide (e.g. <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|]] </tt> shown on the right). Height is computed to keep aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image)


 * Notes:
 * Specifying a size does not just change the apparent image size using HTML; it actually generates a resized version of the image on the fly and links to it appropriately. This happens whether or not you use size in conjunction with thumb.''


 * This means the server does all the work of changing the image size, not the web browser of the user. By having the server do all the work means faster downloading of pages.  It also means that larger images can be stored on the server without any slowdown by the browser (especially on dial up telephone lines.)  Only the data for the actual size on the page is transmitted.


 * From MediaWiki 1.5 the default thumbnail width can be set in the preferences, so it is recommended not to specify "px", in order to respect the users' preferences (unless, for a special reason, a specific size is required regardless of preferences, or a size is specified outside the range of widths 120–300px that can be set in the preferences).


 * If you specify a "frame" option the image will not be scaled, and no size specifiers will be in the HTML. The image will be rendered at full size


 * [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|80px]]When there are two or more "size" options, only the last one is valid: <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|right|50px|80px]] </tt> (shown on the right).


 * <tt>thumbnail</tt>, <tt>thumb</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumbnail|left|100px|]][[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|Anatomy]]The <tt>thumbnail</tt> (<tt>thumb</tt>) option generates a thumbnail image. It is automatically resized when the "size" attribute is not specified. Without the options <tt>left</tt>, <tt>center</tt>, and <tt>none</tt>, the image is normally on the right.  If the image has a caption text, it is displayed in the lower margin. E.g. <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumbnail|left|100px|]] </tt> (shown on the left) and <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|thumb|Anatomy]] </tt> (shown on the right).  Note: thumbnail (thumb) cannot be used in lists.

An "enlarge"-icon is put also in the lower margin of the thumbnail. Both the image itself and the icon link to the image description page with the image in its actual size. The icon shows the link title "Enlarge" in its hoverbox, even in cases where this term does not apply, because it leads from the enlarged image to the one with the actual size. E.g. <tt> </tt> (shown on the right).


 * <tt>frame</tt> : [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|Anatomy]]With this option, the embedded image is shown with its actual size enclosed by a frame, regardless of the "thumb" or "size" attribute, and the caption, if any, is visible in the frame. Without the options <tt>left</tt>, <tt>center</tt>, and <tt>none</tt>, the image is normally on the right: <tt> [[Image:Humanbody.jpg|frame|thumbnail|50px|Anatomy]] </tt>.

With none of the options other than <tt>sizepx</tt> and <tt>alternate (caption) text</tt>, an embedded image is rendered inline.

The option <tt>none</tt> can be used to have thumbnails without left- or right-alignment. This is probably most useful for tables. This is an example:

Thumbnail with caption text underneath that has one or more links
It is also possible to include links in the caption text, e.g.:





<br style="clear:both;"/>

Just make sure the number of opening and closing square brackets are right. One extra or missing would mean the entire image syntax line would not work.

Additional caption formatting options
Additional caption formatting options are possible.





All of the normal text formatting options work.

How Do I Keep All The Text From Floating Around The Image? How Can I Get The Text To Begin Again Below the Image? Cancelling The Floating-Around-Image Mode
After having had an image floating next to text, putting further text below it and again using the full width can be done with the following markup. This blocks an image from appearing next to the material following this markup, possibly due to aesthetic reasons or a change in topics.


 *  <br style="clear:both" /> 

For legacy <tt>align="right"</tt> (etc.) floating this isn't good enough; legacy browsers would ignore inline CSS. To cancel floating under all conditions the following markup (valid XHTML 1.0 transitional) works:



The same code can be issued by using template   or    in certain namespaces (En, meta).

Linking To A Page That Has A Detailed Description Of The Image
If you want to make a link to the description page for an image, use a leading colon before "image:" in an intra-wiki link, like this: humanbody which yields: humanbody
