== Syntax ==
+
==Uploaded files==
 +
To use an image or other file which has been [[Help:Managing files|uploaded to the wiki]], use:
 +
*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
 +
If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
 +
*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg|alternative text]]</nowiki></code>
 +
 
 +
If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
 +
*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
 +
To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace:
 +
*<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
 +
You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
 +
*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>
 +
*<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>
 +

* Special cases:
 
** <code>page=1</code>: displays the specified page when showing a djvu file.
 
 
 
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.

===Gallery of images===
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.
 
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</nowiki></code>
 
Or with different text:
 
*<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</nowiki></code>
 
 
 
If it is enabled on your wiki (see [[Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages]]), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
 
*<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code>
 
 
 
== Gallery of images ==
 
 
It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:

You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for [[Help:Links#External links|linking to an external web page]]. This feature has to be enabled by the admin; in the new releases of MediaWiki its disabled due to security reasons.
