See the 2003 version of Floppy disk for an example.. Markup for images is quite complicated. This may be improved in the future: see meta:image pages.Here are some examples of typical markup ("image" for an image in the page, "media" for just a link):
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.
Specifying a size does not just change the apparent image size using HTML; it actually generates a resized version of the image on the fly and links to it appropriately. This happens whether or not you specify the size in conjunction with "thumb". This means the server does all the work of changing the image size, not the web browser of the user.
If you type [[File:imagename.jpg]], you insert the image itself onto that talk page, not a link to the image page, as you wanted. Displayed images don't belong on talk pages. 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 ...
image is the name of the image, abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. Do not include the File: or Image: prefix, do not enclose the name in [[brackets]], but do remember to include the filename extension. image_upright should normally be left blank, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.
Examples include movie posters, corporate logos, and screenshots of web pages. To upload a non-free image, use the File Upload Wizard, which will help you add all of the required information. A link to the wizard can be found under "Tools" at the left of the screen.
If the image is in the public domain, not requiring attribution to the uploader, you can create a plain picture that links to some other location by using the link option. To link to some other page, specify its name in the link option along with an appropriate caption that hints to readers what will happen if they click on the link.
A wikilink that links to a section and that appears as [[page name#section name]] can link to that section through the canonical page name (the title on the page with the actual content) or through the page name of any redirect to it, in which case the page name is the name of a redirect page.
