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.
In this example, the image data is encoded with utf8 and hence the image data can broken into multiple lines for easy reading.

Note that some elements and attributes supported by MediaWiki and browsers have been deprecated by HTML5 and should no longer be used.
Inline linking (also known as hotlinking, piggy-backing, direct linking, offsite image grabs, bandwidth theft, [1] and leeching) is the use of a linked object, often an image, on one site by a web page belonging to a second site. One site is said to have an inline link to the other site where the object is located.
Another link-dependent feature is related changes, which make it possible to view recent changes to all pages which are linked from the current page (or which are members of the category, if it is a category page). For information on how to link to pages from an image, see mw:Extension:ImageMap.
