Thanks!
Images are useful extras to add to articles. However, you do not need them to get an article to B-class if the article already has an infobox and/or table.
Code
[edit]The syntax used for displaying an image is:
- [[Image:name|type|location|size|caption]]
Only [[Image:name]] is required. The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. They are:
- Type
- 'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.
- Location
- 'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or time-lines can be displayed in the center.
- Size
- widthpx or widthxheightpx (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 and height to 40). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to.
- Caption
- It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader wouldn't have noticed otherwise, or add information that is relevant to the image.
Examples
[edit]
| [[Image:Golden Retriever.jpg|thumb|right|100px|This is a Golden retriever, one of the many breeds of dogs.]] |
The above sytax produces the picture to the right.
.jpg)
| [[Image:Cow_(Disney's_Animal_Kingdom,_2005).jpg|thumb|left|100px|This is a cow.]] |
The above syntax produces the picture to the left. notice how this text is moved across the page to give way for the image.
Uploading a picture
[edit]If you have a picture that isn't already in Wikipedia's image collection that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first.
