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.
One of the problems many users of floating pictures hit is that multiple pictures sometimes stack up vertically, particularly with large screens and wide images. For example, in many browsers the two pictures at the right of this text stack up awkwardly. The Wikipede edits Myriapoda. Flag of Scotland
image is the name of the image, abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. Do not include the File: or Image: prefix, do not enclose the name in [[brackets]], but do remember to include the filename extension. image_upright should normally be left blank, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.
Paste the new URL into the image URL field. Alternatively: Right-click on the image (use Control + click on a Mac). Choose Open Image in New Tab. Copy the image URL from the address bar at the top of your browser screen. Paste the new URL into the image URL field. In both cases, the image URL should be different from the one you previously used.
Float the image on the right unless overridden with the location attribute. With an operand, e.g. thumb=Example.png, the operand names an image that is used as the thumbnail, ignoring any size specification. frame Preserve the original image size, and put a box around the image. Show any caption below the image.
The procedure for adding images to articles is the same, regardless of whether the image was uploaded to Commons or directly to English Wikipedia. To make your uploaded file appear in an article, you need to insert it: edit the article and add the syntax [[File:Image name|thumb|Caption]] where you want the file to appear.
Alternate text is optional but recommended. See Alternate text for images for hints on writing good alternate text. To have some text to the left of an image, and then some more text below the image, then put in a single <br clear="all">. This will force following text down until the margins are free of floating images.
