<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">This page explains the '''image''' syntax when editing the wiki.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">You or another user must usually [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Managing files|upload an image]] before you can use it on a page.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Images that are stored on a MediaWiki server are usually rendered by using the <code>File:</code> namespace prefix (but the legacy <code>Image:</code> namespace prefix is still supported as a synonym) as the target of a MediaWiki link.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The alternate <code>Media:</code> namespace prefix is also usable to reference the original media file content (for rendering or downloading it separately, out of any MediaWiki page).</span>

== Requisites ==
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Before using images in your page, the system administrator of your wiki must have [[Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Configuring file uploads|enabled file uploads]] and a user has to [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Managing files|upload the file]].</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">System administrators may also set the wiki to accept files from [[Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Image Administration#Foreign Repositories|foreign repositories]], such as the [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons].</span>

=== Thumbnail sizes ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
File thumbnails are stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the [[Special:MyLanguage/common thumbnail sizes|common thumbnail sizes]] (20px, 40px, 60px, 120px, 250px, 330px, 500px, 960px, 1280px, 1920px, 3840px), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Notes:
</div>

# <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The "middle" vertical alignment position of the image (which is also the default) usually refers to the middle between the x-height and the baseline of the text (on which the vertical middle of the image will be aligned, and on which usually the text may be overstroke), but not to the middle of the line-height of the font-height that refers to the space between the "text-top" and "text-bottom" positions ; the font-height excludes:</span>
#* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">the additional line separation spacing normally divided equally into two line-margins (here 0.5em, according to line-height set to 200%) above and below the font-height).</span>
#* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">the additional line spacing which may be added by superscripts and subscripts.</span>
# <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">However, if the image height causes its top or bottom position to go above or below the normal full line-height of text, the middle position will be adjusted after the increasing the top and/or bottom line-margins so that the image can fit and align properly, and all images (including those with smaller heights) will be vertically centered on the adjusted middle position (for computing the effective line-height, the text of each rendered row with the larger font-height will be considered).</span>
# <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The "text-top" and "text-bottom" alignment positions also excludes the extra line spacing added by superscripts and subscripts, but not the additional line-spacing defined by the line-height.</span>
# <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The "top" and "bottom" alignment positions take into account all these extra line spacings (including superscripts and subscripts, if they are present in a rendered line span).</span> <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">When the image alignment constrains the image to grow above or below the normal line-spacing, and the image is not absolutely positioned, the image will cause the "top" and "bottom" positions to be adjusted (just like superscripts and subscripts), so the effective line-height between rendered lines of text will be higher.</span>
# <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The "underline", "overline" and "overstrike" text-decoration positions should be somewhere within these two limits and ''may'' depend on the type and height of fonts used (the superscript and subscript styles may be taken into account in some browsers, but usually these styles are ignored and the position of these decorations may not be adjusted); so these decorations normally don't affect the vertical position of images, relatively to the text.</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Stopping the text flow ===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">On occasion it is desirable to stop text (or other inline non-floating images) from flowing around a floating image.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Depending on the web browser's screen resolution and such, text flow on the right side of an image may cause a section header (for instance, <nowiki>== My Header ==</nowiki>) to appear to the right of the image, instead of below it, as a user may expect.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The text flow can be stopped by placing <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline><div style="clear: both"></div></syntaxhighlight> before the text that should start below the floating image.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">(This may also be done without an empty line by wrapping the section with the floating images with <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline><div style="overflow: hidden">…</div></syntaxhighlight>, which clears all floats inside the <code>div</code> element.)</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">All images rendered as blocks (including non-floating '''center'''ed images, '''left'''- or '''right'''-floating images, as well as '''framed''' or '''thumbnail'''ed floating images) are implicitly breaking the surrounding lines of text (terminating the current block of text before the image, and creating a new paragraph for the text after them).</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">They will then stack vertically along their left or right alignment margin (or along the center line between these margins for '''center'''ed images).</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Altering the default link target ===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The following table shows how to alter the link target (whose default is the image {{ll|Help:Managing files#Description page|description page}}) or how to remove it.</span>

=== Gallery syntax ===
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the {{tag|gallery|open}} tag.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The syntax is:</span>

<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext>
<gallery>
File:file_name.ext|caption|alt=alt language
File:file_name.ext|caption|alt=alt language
{...}
</gallery>
</syntaxhighlight>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Note that the image code is not enclosed in brackets when enclosed in gallery tags.
</div>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.</span>
{{note|1=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The words "center", "left", and "right" used as captions cause false-positive Linter errors.</span> <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">See {{phab|T275074}} for details.</span>}}
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Some of the parameters controlling thumb output can also be used here, specifically the ones that modify the file (as opposed to ones that control where in the page the image falls).</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">For example, with multi-paged media like pdfs, you can use code like <code>page=4</code> and with videos you can use <code>thumbtime=10</code>.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The <code>File:</code> prefix can be omitted.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">However, it is helpful to include it as an aid for quickly locating image specifiers in the wikitext (for example, when cleaning up page layout).</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If the image links to an external site, the caption must come ''before'' the link parameter or the caption will not render.

== Row of images that will wrap to browser width ==
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">One way that works for a row of images with varying widths is not to use "thumb" or "left" or "none".</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">If "thumb" is not used (and thus no captions) a row of images will wrap to the browser width.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">If necessary, narrow the browser window to see the images wrap to the next row.</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''To wrap images of varying widths with captions''' it is necessary to use div HTML for an unordered list. Along with <code>style="display: inline-block;"</code>. For more info and ideas see: [https://www.sitepoint.com/give-floats-the-flick-in-css-layouts/ Give Floats the Flick in CSS Layouts].
</div>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">To '''align the top edge of images''' add the vertical-align command</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Some wiki farms do not have all gallery options (such as "widths").</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Also, sometimes one wants varying widths for images in a row.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Outside of a gallery, or the div HTML, it is impossible to have individual captions for images in a row of images that will wrap to the browser width.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Try it and see. Nothing else using wikitext works correctly. Images will either overlap stuff on the right, or force a horizontal scroll bar.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Using a left float ("left") for some images, combined with "none" for some of the images, will not work consistently either, especially if there is also a right sidebar of images.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Weird things will occur.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">At narrower browser or screen widths an image out of the row may appear far down the page after the end of the right sidebar of images.</span>

== Link behavior ==
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">By default an image links to its file description page.</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The "link=" option modifies this behavior to link to another page or website, or to turn off the image's linking behavior.</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Alternatively, you can create a text link to a file description page or to the file itself.</span>

Or with a different displayed text:

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Additional MediaWiki markup or HTML/CSS formatting (for inline elements) is permitted in this displayed text (except for embedded links that would break the surrounding link):
</div>

<pre>[http://www.example.com/some/image.png Example '''<del>rich</del>''' ''<ins>link text</ins>'' here.]</pre>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If it is enabled on your wiki (see {{ll|Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages}}), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's URL:
</div>
<pre>http://url.for/some/image.png</pre>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Embedded images can be resized by the CSS <code>transform</code> property. They also may be formatted by surrounding MediaWiki markup or HTML/CSS code.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If this wiki option is not enabled, the image will not be embedded but rendered as a textual link to the external site, just like above, unless the site's {{ll|Manual:$wgAllowExternalImagesFrom}} has a value.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
It is also possible to use {{ll|InstantCommons}} or other {{ll|Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos|shared file repositories}} to load files from other wikis, which are treated as if they were local images.
