This page explains how to place images on wiki pages, where the image acts as a hypertext link to somewhere other than the image description page.Care should be taken that this is done in compliance with the licensing terms of the file in question, particularly if they require proper attribution.

This is a wrapper for Module:Findimage, which finds the first image in a page and returns its filename. It takes a page title as the first unnamed parameter or as the |title= parameter. Omitting the title uses the current page.
An easy way to find such images is to search with the restriction to site:.gov OR site:.mil. Again, be creative and vary your search terms. Not all images on the .gov or .mil sites are public domain, however: works by local state governments are not necessarily in the public domain. In case of doubt, ask.
The capitalization in the wikicode must be followed; thus if an image file is Image:Photo of Wikipede.JPG, you will need to use the capital letters for "JPG". The image is blacklisted on MediaWiki:Bad image list. Consider requesting its removal at MediaWiki talk:Bad image list.
At Commons, you can add categories to an image page to help other editors find the page (for example, for a different language Wikipedia). These steps continue with the same image from the previous tutorial: 1. Click the "find categories" tab at the top of the image page. You arrive at a page labeled CommonSense, which is a search tool.

Alternate text is optional but recommended. See Alternate text for images for hints on writing good alternate text. To have some text to the left of an image, and then some more text below the image, then put in a single <br clear="all">. This will force following text down until the margins are free of floating images.
