Inserting Images

1. Before you can insert any document or picture in your article you need to upload the corresponding file into the wiki!

For instructions on how to upload pictures/documents to energypedia, please see this article: "Uploading Pictures and Documents"

3. A pop-up menu will appear. For the option, "Image file name", type in the name of the file you want to use.

The option "LInk image to a Wiki page or URL", allows you to direct your audience to a particular wiki page or a website when they click on the picture. For linking to a wiki article, simply type in the name of the article and for linking to an external website, type in the entire URL including htttp:
“Caption” allows you to add relevant caption to your picture. The caption will be displayed below the file when you choose "Special type" -> frame or thumbnail. If you choose "Special type" -> border, then the caption will only be shown when you hover over the picture.
The option "Alignment" provides the opportunity to put the image right, left or center of the article.To prevent text from floating around the pictures, use center alignment.
The option "width" allows you to determine the width of the picture. Please do not use more than 800px as it will result in skewed page.The "Special type" -> frame option does not allow you to adjust the picture size.

4. Click OK. The picture will now appear in the edited text.

5. To change a picture's height or alignment, scroll over the picture or filename, then right click and choose "Image Properties".

6. To remove a picture/graph from the article, select the graph and press delete.

To prevent text from floating around the images, use this command after the image : <div style="clear: both"></div> Link: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images
