This is a EndMyopia Wiki help page. |
Seriously, just read the Wikipedia article for how to do this stuff. They explain it much better than we ever could. |
About images
Wikimedia Commons
Any picture you see on there, you can use on here without having to upload here. Just use the File: name as you would do if the file was uploaded locally. Like magic, your picture will still work!
Pictures you can and can't use
See EM:Copyrights.

[[File:EMwiki.png]]
Be sure to include the file extension.
Moving pictures around
[[File:EMwiki.png|right]]
[[File:EMwiki.png|center]]

Resizing pictures
[[File:EMwiki.png|50px]]
[[File:EMwiki.png|250px]]

To add captions to a picture, ensure you include |thumb|Caption text here
in the body of your image.
[[File:EMwiki.png|thumb|It's the EM Wiki logo.]]
Just read the Wikipedia page

See the Wikipedia help article here.
...you can link to external images too

$wgAllowExternalImages is set to true, so you can link things like https://media1.giphy.com/media/YQitE4YNQNahy/200.gif and it will display the image instead of a link.
This is verboten (forbidden) in all articles. It creates a reliance on that host being up there, and doesn't let us provide licensing information. Exclusively use this on talk pages for convenience and memes or whatever. You will be slapped with a trout if you use this in articles.
