Help:Image

Here's how to add a picture:


 * 1) Find an image you want on your page on any other page in the wiki, or on the image list page.
 * 2) *If you want to upload a new picture, go to the upload file page. (This link can also be found labeled "Upload file" in the navigation pane on the left-hand side, under "tools".) Once there, you can browse for your image, change the file name if necessary, and type a description of the image. Simply click "Upload" to add the picture to the database.
 * 3) Once you've found or uploaded an image, find out its name (including the extension), which will be something like "File:Image name.ext". Images can be added using the "File:" or "Image:" tag. Extensions (.ext) used for images on the are .jpg, .png, .gif, or .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics).
 * Now, find a nice place on your user page, edit the code, and add this text, replacing the name, extension and caption appropriately: Image name.ext
 * 1) If you want to control the size of the thumbnail, you can specify its width in pixels. For a 100 pixel-wide thumbnail, this would be: Image name.ext
 * 2) Thumbnails automatically go to the far right-hand side of a page, but you can specify it to go to the left side, right side or center instead. For the same image placed on the left, this would be: Image name.ext
 * 3) Images can also be placed in frames, which cannot be resized, but still use the other parameters: Image name.ext

Note: The caption usually comes last for both thumbnails and frames, although most parameters can be in any order.
