Scale the image to be no greater than the given width or height, keeping its aspect ratio. Scaling up (i.e. stretching the image to a greater size) is disabled when the image is framed. Link Link the image to a different resource, or to nothing. Alt Specify the alt text for the image. This is intended for visually impaired readers.
image is a complete image placement specification as described in the Picture tutorial or at Wikipedia:Extended image syntax. The size should typically be set to 200px, and the image should be centred. Alt text should be included for visually impaired readers. caption is displayed below the image.
Images with text should generally use a caption and the thumb (thumbnail) option; the default results in a display 220 pixels wide (170 pixels if the upright option is used), except for those logged-in users who have set a different default in their user preferences. In general, do not define the size of an image unless there is a good reason ...
The picture name alone places the image in the text, or on the next line if there is insufficient space. Embedding the image in the text is only possible for very small images. Embedding the image will affect the vertical formatting of text.

To create a link to the image page instead, type a colon just after the first two square brackets, so the link looks like this: [[:File:imagename.jpg]]. Then those ...
To present images larger than the guidelines above (e.g. panoramas), use |thumb|center or |thumb|none, so that the image stands alone; or use {} or {} to present a very large image in a scrollable box. This image uses |thumb|center|upright=2.5 to expand the image, center it, and clear the area on either side.
When adding an image to an infobox, thumbnails should NOT be used. Infobox templates should implement the InfoboxImage module to help with formatting of images so simply supplying the file name will work. For example, to use File:Image PlaceHolder.png, you can simply use |image=Image PlaceHolder.png.
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.
