To use images on pages in The Wiki, you have two options. It is possible to link to them from sites like photobucket or your own website but you need to remember not to move or delete those pictures. It is safer to upload them directly to The Wiki although there are limitations. External sites give you the opportunity to add animations, larger pictures or other file types.

Uploading pictures to The Wiki

You can only upload .jpg (.JPEG) files and they cannot be larger then 150kb.


Step by Step instructions can be found on Uploading images to The Wiki


Code for images

One single image

name | alignment | size | thumb or frame | caption


1. You can just put in the image

It will come out full size and aligned to the left with no border or caption.

2. You can choose horizontal alignment - right, left or center

InitialsA.jpg


ACTUAL CODE: [[image:InitialsA.jpg|center]] 


3. You can choose the size
 [[image:name of image.jpg|size]] 


InitialsA.jpg


ACTUAL CODE: [[image:InitialsA.jpg|50px]]


4. To get a frame round your picture
[[image:name of image.jpg|alignment|size|thumb]]


InitialsA.jpg











ACTUAL CODE: [[image:InitialsA.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]


5. To get a frame and have a caption for the picture
[[image:name of image.jpg|alignment|size|thumb|caption]]


Work in progress












ACTUAL CODE: [[image:InitialsA.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Work in progress]]


6. Using frame instead of thumb
[[image:name of image.jpg|alignment|size|frame|caption]]


Work in progress












ACTUAL CODE: [[image:InitialsA.jpg|right|250px|frame|Work in progress]]




WARNING: As soon as you add frame or thumb, combining pictures and text can give very unpredictable results.

It is easier to take control over the layout of page by using extra code such as in a TABLE or GALLERY.


Adding images from Photobucket or other websites

If you want to have a picture in a particular place, you need to add code.
