Free images that can be reused commercially and modified are preferred. Non-free images may sometimes be used, but only in certain circumstances. Wikimedia Commons accepts only free images, which can then be used by any of the other Wikimedia projects. To use an image in an article, insert: [[File:Image name.jpg|thumb|Caption for the image]].
The previous image may have incorrect image syntax, especially an incomplete ]] at the end; 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.
Preserve the original image size, and do not add a border around the image. Place it inline with the text unless overridden with the location attribute. Do not show a caption. If no alt text is specifically requested, use the requested caption as alt text. This option is almost exclusively used in templates.
To upload images to Commons you can use the Commons Upload Wizard tool, which will guide you through the process. There is an important caveat: Commons accepts only freely licensed images . This means that you cannot upload most images found on the internet, as the vast majority of them are not free.

You can add anything that you would add to a normal page, including text, images, and other templates. When editing templates that are in use, it is a good idea to do so in a sandbox, as described in the template sandbox and test cases how-to guide.
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.
