Help:Images

Adding images to a wiki article can be a complex process. The Mediawiki software underlying the TS Wiki is not WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") in its graphic interface. Therefore, you have sometimes have to experiment a bit to get an image into the desired size and position.

The basic syntax for displaying an image is:

[[File:filename.extension|position|framing|size|caption]]

The options are case-sensitive, and must be typed in all lower case letters. Each option is separated by a pipe symbol, |, from the next option.

• Option for position of the image: left, center, right - default is right
• Option for framing the image: frame, thumb - default is no framing
• Option for image size: A number followed by px (i.e. 200px for 200 pixels in width)
• Option for caption: any words that are not keywords are used as the caption.

If the text wraps around the image in an unattractive way, it is often useful to add line breaks <br> to force the text or image to a different position.

See Mediawiki's article Help:Images for the complete array of options in placement of images. Another good source of information is Wikipedia in Simple English's Help:How to use images
