Uploaded files
To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:
- codenowiki
/nowiki/code
If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
- codenowiki/nowiki/code
If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
- codenowikiImage:Example2.jpg/nowiki/code
To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the Media pseudo-namespace:
- codenowikiMedia:Example2.jpg/nowiki/code
You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
Advanced options
The full syntax for displaying an image is:
codenowiki[[Image:{name}|{options}]]/nowiki/code
Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
- codethumb/code, codethumbnail/code, or codeframe/code: Controls how the image is formatted
- codeleft/code, coderight/code, codecenter/code, codenone/code: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
- code{width}px/code: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
- code{caption text}/code
The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.
Gallery of images
It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the codenowikigallery/nowiki/code tag. The syntax is: pre gallery Image:{filename}|{caption} Image:{filename}|{caption} {...} /gallery /pre Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
for example: pre gallery Image:Example2.jpg|Item 1 Image:Example2.jpg|a link to Help:Contents Image:Example2.jpg Image:Example2.jpg Image:Example2.jpg|italic caption /gallery /pre is formatted as: gallery Image:Example2.jpg|Item 1 Image:Example2.jpg|a link to Help:Contents Image:Example2.jpg Image:Example2.jpg Image:Example2.jpg|italic caption /gallery
Other files
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page. This feature has to be enabled by the admin; in the new releases of MediaWiki its disabled due to security reasons.
- codenowiki[1]/nowiki/code
![[1]](http://url.for/some/image.png){kind=link}
Or with different text:
- codenowikilink text here/nowiki/code
If it is enabled on your wiki, you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the url:
- codenowikihttp://url.for/some/image.png/nowiki/code
