Specifying a size does not just change the apparent image size using HTML; it actually generates a resized version of the image on the fly and links to it appropriately. This happens whether or not you specify the size in conjunction with "thumb". This means the server does all the work of changing the image size, not the web browser of the user.
Graphics programs also allow you to reduce the image to a particular size before saving. If images are for use in infoboxes only, and are being used under fair use rules, they should not be any larger than the size displayed, e.g. 220–300 pixels wide.
The capitalization in the wikicode must be followed; thus if an image file is Image:Photo of Wikipede.JPG, you will need to use the capital letters for "JPG". The image is blacklisted on MediaWiki:Bad image list. Consider requesting its removal at MediaWiki talk:Bad image list.
Under the image there should be a set of numbers in the form "NNNNxMMMM." This is the size of the image in pixels. If these numbers do not appear, then the image is smaller than the limit you specified for display in the "Files" pane in your preferences. If you did not adjust that limit, the default size is 800x600 pixels.
In the examples above, the size of the image is scaled based on each user's default image size, which can be changed at Special:Preferences. Setting image size in pixels, such as "250px", would override the user's preference and display the image as 250px wide for all users who view that image on that page.
See the 2003 version of Floppy disk for an example.. Markup for images is quite complicated. This may be improved in the future: see meta:image pages.Here are some examples of typical markup ("image" for an image in the page, "media" for just a link):
1.6 Table auto-size. 2 ... 4 Side by side images. 5 Alt versus title attributes. 6 Article link using Image? Toggle the table of contents. Wikipedia talk: Image ...
This page explains how to place images on wiki pages, where the image acts as a hypertext link to somewhere other than the image description page.Care should be taken that this is done in compliance with the licensing terms of the file in question, particularly if they require proper attribution.
