In brief, the syntax for displaying an image is: [[File: Name | Type | Border | Location | Alignment | Size |link= Link |alt= Alt |page= Page |lang= Langtag | Caption]]. Plain type means you always type exactly what you see. Bold italics represent a variable, which you replace with its actual value. Of the parameters shown, only Name is essential.
Some users have small screens or need to configure their systems to display large text; "forced" large thumbnails can leave little width for text, making reading difficult. In addition, forcing a "larger" image size at say 260px will actually make it smaller for those with a larger size set as preference.
Most images should be on the right side of the page, which is the default placement. nb 4 Left-aligned images may disturb the layout of bulleted lists and similar structures that depend on visual uniformity, e.g. by pushing some items on such lists further inward.

Shrinking upright images further. If the upright factor 0.75 is too large or too small, it can be specified explicitly. A factor of 1.0 uses the default thumbnail width, which is the same as not specifying "upright" at all; a factor less than or greater than 1.0 creates an image smaller or larger than the default.
