==Adding an uploaded a picture to an article==<table><td>[[Image:Mountain Day 2003 kite flier.jpg|thumbnail|right|[[Jonathan Landsman]] flies his kite atop [[Stony Ledge]], [[Mountain Day]] 2003.]]
You have a lot of options when it comes to placing the image in the article. You can specify a side of the page for it to go on, its size, and a caption to appear with it.
===With all layout features (for :'''For the bold and impatient)===:''' just put something like this in the article:
To insert a captioned :<nowiki>[[Image:Mountain Day 2003 kite flier.jpg|thumbnail positioned |right|Caption goes right here.]]</nowiki> If that looks confusing, read on one side of the page, use a link like:.
'''<nowiki>[[Image:Mountain Day 2003 kite flier.jpg|thumbnail|right|[[Jonathan Landsman]] flies his kite atop [[Stony Ledge]], [[Mountain Day]] 2003.]]</nowiki>''' produces the picture at right:
</table>
===In the line of text, fullsize===
===On a side of the page===
<table><tr><td>
You can make a picture stick to the right or left side of the page using a link like this:
'''<nowiki>[[Image:Only5aday.jpeg|right]]</nowiki>''' produces [[Image:Only5aday.jpeg|right]]
See how the top of the picture is at the line where we put the link, but the picture is on the left side of the screen, and the text of this article wraps neatly around it? This is probably the effect you'll want most often. To have it stick to the left instead, just replace ''right'' with ''left''.</td></tr></table>
===As a captioned thumbnail===
<table><tr><td>
Most of the time, you won't want to put the whole picture directly into the article, but just a captioned thumbnail that links to the full version. This is quite easy:</div>
'''<nowiki>[[Image:Perfomance Day April 2006.jpg|thumbnail|The lovely ladies of [[Dance Dhamaka]].]]</nowiki>''' produces [[Image:Perfomance Day April 2006.jpg|thumbnail|The lovely ladies of [[Dance Dhamaka]].]]
"thumbnail" tells the program to create a default-size thumbnail to put in the article. You can pick your own size instead by replacing ''thumbnail'' with ''200 px'' or another size. Last comes the caption, which can be any text and can include links to other articles -- just be careful with your brackets.</td></tr></table>
