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.
Wikilinks are used in wikitext markup to produce internal links between pages. You create wikilinks by putting double square brackets around text designating the title of the page you want to link to. Thus, [[Texas]] will be rendered as Texas. Optionally, you can use a vertical bar (|) to customize the link title.
Use a vertical bar "|" (the "pipe" symbol) to create a link which appears as a term other than the name of the target page. Links of this kind are said to be "piped". The first term inside the brackets is the title of the page you would be taken to (the link target), and anything after the vertical bar is what the link looks like for the reader ...
A checkbox (check box, tickbox, tick box) is a graphical widget that allows the user to make a binary choice, i.e. a choice between one of two possible mutually exclusive options. For example, the user may have to answer 'yes' (checked) or 'no' (not checked) on a simple yes/no question .
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.
|link=Page Ordinarily, clicking on an image takes the reader to the image description page. The link option allows the reader to be taken instead to a different page, such as a fuller image from which the thumbnail was cropped, or to a full document of which the thumbnail was a single page (or crop of a single page).

Some tags that resemble HTML are actually MediaWiki parser and extension tags, and so are actually wiki markup. HTML included in pages can be validated for HTML5 compliance by using validation. Note that some elements and attributes supported by MediaWiki and browsers have been deprecated by HTML5 and should no longer be used.
