The image acts as a hypertext link to the specified page. Do not enclose the page name in square brackets. If Page is a URL, the image acts as an external link; otherwise it links to the named Wikipedia page. Image maps offer more possibilities.

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.
Preserve the original image size, and do not add a border around the image. Place it inline with the text unless overridden with the location attribute. Do not show a caption. If no alt text is specifically requested, use the requested caption as alt text. This option is almost exclusively used in templates.
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.
To make your uploaded file appear in an article, you need to insert it: edit the article and add the syntax [[File:Image name|thumb|Caption]] where you want the file to appear. Important: Image names are case-sensitive. For example, if an image is called Picture.jpg then neither picture.jpg nor Picture.JPG will find it.
