[edit] Uploading Images
Images can be uploaded to the wiki through the Special:Upload page. This link will appear on the menu on the left side of the site when you are logged-in and are on a page that can be edited. You can view a list of uploaded images at Special:Imagelist. Alternatively, you can view the Gallery of New Files.
[edit] Using Images
An image can be embedded by simply creating a link to the image.
What you type:
[[Image:ImageName]]
For Example:
[[Image:Adelbert.jpg]]
will be displayed as:
It is also possible to pass some additional options to control the display of the image. These options are passed in the format:
[[Image:ImageName|option1|option2|option3]]
You can control the following with options:
- Alignment -- possible values: left, right, center, or none
- left,right, and center are do the obvious
- none - the image is aligned at the left, but text starts below the image instead of next to it
- Size -- specify the absolute width of the image in pixels
- e.g. 100px, 50px
- Thumbnail -- automatically generates a small preview of the image in question
- You type either thumb or thumbnail
- Frames -- creates a frame around the image
- Make frame an option
- Captions -- creates a caption text at the bottom of the image
- You just give text as the last option
Here are some examples:
[[Image:Adelbert.jpg|none|frame|Adelbert Hall from the Case Quad]]
[[Image:Adelbert.jpg|center|thumb|Adelbert Hall from the Case Quad]]
[[Image:Adelbert.jpg|right|thumb|Adelbert Hall]]
