Inserting an image into an article[edit source]
- 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:
[[File:IMAGENAME.jpg|thumb|right|300px|CAPTION]]
Tip: Put the image code on the line above the line you want it to appear next to.
- 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: [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|right|300px|An example image.]]

Adding images through a URL[edit source]
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.
