About images
Wikimedia Commons
Any picture you see on there, you can use on here without having to upload here. Just use the File: name as you would do if the file was uploaded locally. Like magic, your picture will still work!
Pictures you can and can't use
See Red:Copyrights.
The basics of pictures
To produce an image, type this
[[File:EMwiki.png]]
This will produce this
Be sure to include the file extension.
Moving pictures around
[[File:EMwiki.png|right]]
[[File:EMwiki.png|center]]
Will produce:
Resizing pictures
[[File:EMwiki.png|50px]]
[[File:EMwiki.png|250px]]
Will produce:
Adding captions
To add captions to a picture, ensure you include |thumb|Caption text here in the body of your image.
[[File:Wiki.png|thumb|It's the Wiki logo.]]
Just read the Wikipedia page
There's plenty of detail that I don't think this article will cover. But that's definitely the basics and more than enough for a lot of people.
