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.
After the image is uploaded, click the "Use this file" button at the top of the image page (with the W) and copy the "thumbnail" code. To add the image to your user page you just need to replace {{New user bar}} with {{New user bar|image=PASTE THE IMAGE CODE HERE}} .
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.
