If the image is in the public domain, not requiring attribution to the uploader, you can create a plain picture that links to some other location by using the link option. To link to some other page, specify its name in the link option along with an appropriate caption that hints to readers what will happen if they click on the link.
Scale the image to be no greater than the given width or height, keeping its aspect ratio. Scaling up (i.e. stretching the image to a greater size) is disabled when the image is framed. Link Link the image to a different resource, or to nothing. Alt Specify the alt text for the image. This is intended for visually impaired readers.
Using the |link= option with the [[File:...]] syntax. Using the <imagemap>...</imagemap> syntax, provided by the ImageMap extension. The |link= syntax is easier to use and can create simple images that the imagemap syntax cannot, but it can only be used with plain pictures; it cannot be used with thumb images.
In this example, the image data is encoded with utf8 and hence the image data can broken into multiple lines for easy reading. Single quote has to be used in the SVG data as double quote is used for encapsulating the image source. A favicon can also be made with utf8 encoding and SVG data which has to appear in the 'head' section of the HTML:
<center>[[Image:NAME|Alt text]]<br>''Caption''</center> If your caption is longer than a few words, you may need to explicitly set the div width. Some browsers adjust the width of the div based on the width of the text, and if there is a large caption, the div may become too large.
Some characters do not work after the link; see Help:Link for more details. Case sensitivity. Links are not sensitive to initial capitalization, so there is no need to use the pipe character where the case of the initial letter is the only difference between the link text and the target page.
The default width and height are currently 120px. Images displayed by the <Gallery>...</Gallery> tag do not obey user viewing preferences. The packed mode will automatically adjust image sizes to use available display space optimally. Every line specifies an image file. The File: prefix is unnecessary.
An image sometimes includes a familiar object to communicate scale. Such fiducial markers should be as culturally universal and standardized as possible: rulers, matches, batteries, pens/pencils, footballs (soccer balls), people and their body parts, vehicles, and famous structures such as the Eiffel Tower are good choices, but many others are possible.
