[edit] Uploaded files

To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:

• [[Image:Wiki.png]]

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

• [[Image:Wiki.png|alternative text]]

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

• [[:Image:Wiki.png]]

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

• [[Media:Wiki.png]]

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

• [[:Image:Wiki.png|link text]]
• [[Media:Wiki.png|link text]]

[edit] Advanced options

The full syntax for displaying an image is:

[[Image:{name}|{options}]]

Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:

• thumb, thumbnail, or frame: Controls how the image is formatted
• left, right, center, none: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
• {width}px: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
• {caption text}

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.
