Inserting an image into an article

 * Begin editing the article, and locate the point in the text where you would like the screenshot to appear.
 * Add a new line with this template:


 * Replace the "imagename.jpg" with the name of your file as it appears on the wiki (other image formats beside JPG may also be used). Replace "CAPTION" with a description that will be displayed under the image. To resize the image, change 300px to the desired width in pixels. To align the image to the left (which should normally be avoided) replace "right" with "left".

Here is the code for the example image on the right:

Image tags
This wiki has a sort of tagging system made out of many categories. Images with specific tags can be found by going to Category: images. Currently an image can have up to tags.

To add tags to an image, use Template:Tags, and put each tag into a new unnamed parameter. Categories created by Template:Tags need to be marked with Template:Tags-cat. Categories that are a combination of two or more tags need to use Template:Tags-subcat so they are added to broader categories.

Categories also need to be assigned to a "category level" category based off how many tags are involved in the category. Template:Tags-subcat does this automatically for categories with two or more tags. If the category is for a single tag, set  in Template:Tags-cat.

Inserting a gallery into an article
For some articles, a gallery of several images may be appropriate to reduce the amount of space taken up. A gallery is inserted in this manner: &lt;gallery> File:IMAGENAME1.JPG|Caption 1 File:IMAGENAME2.JPG|Caption 2 &lt;/gallery>

Replace "imagename#.jpg" with the filename of the image, and write a descriptive caption (not required) after the.

Here is how galleries typically look:

Adding images through a URL
If you paste a URL into a page, it will display an image if it points to one. It's an option, but not recommended because you will not have as much control over the appearance of it, and because it's external, the image may change or disappear at any time.
