| This page explains the '''image''' syntax when editing the wiki. You or another user must usually [[Help:Managing files|upload an image]] before you can use it on a page. '''Note''': The maximum filesize for an image is 8 MB, and the maximum size in pixels is 5000px x 5000px.
| | #REDIRECT: [[gphelp:Advanced Images]] |
| | |
| Images that are stored on a MediaWiki server are usually rendered by using the <code>File:</code> namespace prefix (but the legacy <code>Image:</code> namespace prefix is still supported as a synonym) as the target of a MediaWiki link. The alternate <code>Media:</code> namespace prefix is also usable to reference the original media file content (for rendering or downloading it separately, out of any MediaWiki page).
| |
| | |
| == Supported media types for images ==
| |
| The following file formats are supported by default:
| |
| * .jpg or .jpeg : bitmap image compressed in the standard JPEG format (this lossy format is most suitable for photographs).
| |
| * .png : bitmap image in the ''[[wikipedia:Portable Network Graphics|Portable Network Graphics]]'' format (specified by the ''W3 Consortium'').
| |
| * .gif : bitmap image in the legacy ''Graphics Interchange Format''.
| |
| | |
| Other formats used on Wikimedia, and commonly enabled elsewhere (these may require extra set-up beyond what is enabled by default):
| |
| * .svg : scalable image in the ''Scalable Vector Graphics'' format (specified by the ''W3 Consortium'').
| |
| * .tiff : Tagged image format. Often used for high-resolution archival photographs.
| |
| * .ogg, .oga, .ogv : Ogg multimedia (audio or video) Not an image format, but treated similarly.
| |
| * .pdf : multipaged documents in the ''Portable Document Format'' (initially specified by ''Adobe'').
| |
| * .djvu : multipaged bitmap documents in the ''DejaVu'' format (most often, scans of books).
| |
| *: Only a single page of a .pdf or .djvu file is shown at one time.
| |
| | |
| Other media types may be supported, but it may not be possible to display them inline.
| |
| | |
| == Rendering a single image ==
| |
| | |
| === Syntax ===
| |
| The full syntax for displaying an image is:
| |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''filename.extension''|''options''|''caption'']]
| |
| | |
| where ''options'' can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes ('''|'''):
| |
| * ''[[#Format|Format]]'' option: one of '''border''' and/or '''frameless''', '''frame''', '''thumb''' (or '''thumbnail''');
| |
| *: Controls how the rendered image is formatted and embedded in the rest of the page.
| |
| * ''[[#Size and frame|Resizing]]'' option: one of
| |
| ** ''{width}'''''px''' — Resizes the image to fit within the given maximum width in pixels, without restricting its height;
| |
| ** '''x'''''{height}'''''px''' — Resizes the image to fit within the given maximum height in pixels, without restricting its width;
| |
| ** ''{width}'''''x'''''{height}'''''px''' — Resizes the image to fit within the given width and height in pixels;
| |
| ** '''upright''' — Resizes an image to fit within reasonable dimensions, according to user preferences (suitable for images whose height is larger than width).
| |
| *: Note that the image will always retain its aspect ratio, and can only be reduced (not increased) in size unless it's in a scalable media type (bitmap images cannot be scaled up).
| |
| *: The default maximum size depends on the ''format'' and the internal image dimensions (according to its media type).
| |
| * ''[[#Horizontal alignment|Horizontal alignment]]'' option: one of '''left''', '''right''', '''center''', '''none''';
| |
| *: Controls the horizontal alignment (and inline/block or floating styles) of the image within a text (no default value).
| |
| * ''[[#Vertical alignment|Vertical alignment]] option'': one of '''baseline''', '''sub''', '''super''', '''top''', '''text-top''', '''middle''', '''bottom''', '''text-bottom''';
| |
| *: Controls the vertical alignment of a non-floating inline image with the text before or after the image, and in the same block (the default vertical alignment is '''middle''').
| |
| * ''[[#Altering the default link target|Link]] option'': one of
| |
| ** '''link='''''{target}'' — Allows to change the target (to an arbitrary page title, or URL) of the generated link, activable on the rendered image surface; e.g. <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=http://www.wikipedia.org]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=http://www.wikipedia.org]] (external link), or <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=MediaWiki]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=MediaWiki]] (internal link).
| |
| ** '''link=''' (with an empty value) — Displays an image without any activable link; e.g. <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Example.jpg|20px|link=]]</code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|link=]].
| |
| *** '''!''' If you set <code>|link=|</code> (empty), then no <code>title</code> will be rendered.
| |
| * Other specific options:
| |
| ** '''alt='''''{alternative text}'' — Defines the alternative text (maps to the HTML attribute <code>alt="..."</code> of the generated <code><img /></code> element) of an image that will be rendered if either the referenced image cannot be downloaded and embedded, or if the support media must use the alternative description text (e.g. when using a Braille reader or with accessibility options set by the user in its browser).
| |
| ** '''page='''''{number}'' — Renders the specified page number (currently only applicable when showing a .djvu or .pdf file).
| |
| ** '''class='''''{html class}'' — (MediaWiki 1.20+) Defines classes (maps to the HTML attribute <code>class="..."</code> of the generated <code><img /></code> element)
| |
| | |
| If a parameter does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text only shows below the image in '''thumb''' and '''frame''' formats. Caption text displayed in the '''thumb''' and '''frame''' formats may contain wiki links and other formatting. In the other options, wiki-formatting will not work though transclusion will.
| |
| | |
| If no caption text is supplied, a caption is automatically created showing the file name. To completely remove the caption, set it to <code><nowiki><span title=""></span></nowiki></code>. For example, <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|20px|<span title=""></span>]]</nowiki></code> renders as [[File:Example.jpg|20px|<span title=""></span>]].
| |
| | |
| === Format ===
| |
| The following table shows the effect of all available formats.
| |
| | |
| {|class="wikitable plainlinks"
| |
| |-
| |
| !Description

| !You type
| |
| !You get
| |
| {{Help:Images/frame|frame=|ex=no format specified|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}}
| |
| {{Help:Images/frame|frame=border|ex='''border''' results in a very small gray border|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}}
| |
| {{Help:Images/frame|frame=frameless|ex='''frameless''', like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width, but without border and no right float|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}}
| |
| {{Help:Images/frame|frame=frameless|2=border|ex='''frameless''' and '''border'''|float=no|inline=yes|render caption=no}}
| |
| {{Help:Images/frame|frame=frame|ex='''frame'''|float=yes|inline=no|render caption=yes}}
| |
| {{Help:Images/frame|frame=thumb|ex='''thumb''' or '''thumbnail'''|float=yes|inline=no|render caption=yes}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| When the height of an image in thumbnail is bigger than its width (i.e. in portrait orientation rather than landscape) and you find it too large, you may try the option <code>upright</code>, which will try to adjust its size to a more desirable size by reducing the height instead of the width. The alternative is to specify the desired maximum height (in pixels) explicitly.
| |
| | |
| Note that by writing <code>thumb={filename}</code>, you can use a different image for the thumbnail.
| |
| | |
| === Size and frame ===
| |
| Among different formats, the effect of the size parameter may be different, as shown below.
| |
| * For how it appears when its size is not specified, see [[#Format|Format]] section above.
| |
| * When the format is not specified, or only <code>border</code>ed, the size can be both reduced and enlarged to any specified size.
| |
| * In the examples below, the original size of the image is 400 × 267 pixels.
| |
| * An image with <code>frame</code> always '''ignores''' the size specification, the original image will be reduced if it exceeds the maximum size defined in user preferences.
| |
| * The size of an image with <code>thumb</code> can be reduced, but can not be enlarged beyond the original size of the image.

| |
| | |
| === Vertical alignment ===
| |
| The vertical alignment options take effect only if the image '''is''' rendered as an inline element and '''is not''' floating. They alter the way the inlined image will be vertically aligned with the text present in the same block before and/or after this image on the same rendered row.
| |
| | |
| Note that the rendered line of text where inline images are inserted (and the lines of text rendered after the current one) may be moved down (this will increase the line-height conditionally by additional line spacing, just as it may occur with spans of text with variable font sizes, or with superscripts and subscripts) to allow the image height to be fully displayed with this alignment constraint.

| Notes:
| |
| # The "middle" vertical alignment position of the image (which is also the default) usually refers to the middle between the x-height and the baseline of the text (on which the vertical middle of the image will be aligned, and on which usually the text may be overstroke), but not to the middle of the line-height of the font-height that refers to the space between the "text-top" and "text-bottom" positions ; the font-height excludes:
| |
| #* the additional line separation spacing normally divided equally into two line-margins (here 0.5em, according to line-height set to 200%) above and below the font-height).
| |
| #* the additional line spacing which may be added by superscripts and subscripts.
| |
| # However, if the image height causes its top or bottom position to go above or below the normal full line-height of text, the middle position will be adjusted after the increasing the top and/or bottom line-margins so that the image can fit and align properly, and all images (including those with smaller heights) will be vertically centered on the adjusted middle position (for computing the effective line-height, the text of each rendered row with the larger font-height will be considered).
| |
| # The "text-top" and "text-bottom" alignment positions also excludes the extra line spacing added by superscripts and subscripts, but not the additional line-spacing defined by the line-height.
| |
| # The "top" and "bottom" alignment positions take into account all these extra line spacings (including superscripts and subscripts, if they are present in a rendered line span). When the image alignment constrains the image to grow above or below the normal line-spacing, and the image is not absolutely positioned, the image will cause the "top" and "bottom" positions to be adjusted (just like superscripts and subscripts), so the effective line-height between rendered lines of text will be higher.
| |
| # The "underline", "overline" and "overstrike" text-decoration positions should be somewhere within these two limits and ''may'' depend on the type and height of fonts used (the superscript and subscript styles may be taken into account in some browsers, but usually these styles are ignored and the position of these decorations may not be adjusted); so these decorations normally don't affect the vertical position of images, relatively to the text.
| |
| | |
| === Stopping the text flow ===
| |
| On occasion it is desirable to stop text (or other inline non-floating images) from flowing around a floating image. Depending on the web browser's screen resolution and such, text flow on the right side of an image may cause a section header (for instance, <nowiki>== My Header ==</nowiki>) to appear to the right of the image, instead of below it, as a user may expect. The text flow can be stopped by placing '''<nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki>''' (or if you prefer, <nowiki><div style="clear: both"></div></nowiki>) before the text that should start below the floating image. (This may also be done without an empty line by wrapping the section with the floating images with <nowiki><div style="overflow: hidden">…</div></nowiki>, which clears all floats inside the <code>div</code> element.)
| |
| | |
| All images rendered as blocks (including non-floating '''center'''ed images, '''left'''- or '''right'''-floating images, as well as '''framed''' or '''thumbnail'''ed floating images) are implicitly breaking the surrounding lines of text (terminating the current block of text before the image, and creating a new paragraph for the text after them). They will then stack vertically along their left or right alignment margin (or along the center line between these margins for '''center'''ed images).
| |
| | |
| === Altering the default link target ===
| |
| The following table shows how to alter the link target (whose default is the image description page) or how to remove it. Changing the link does not alter the format described in the previous sections.

| | |
| == Rendering a gallery of images ==
| |
| | |
| === Gallery syntax ===
| |
| It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| <nowiki><gallery></nowiki>
| |
| File:file_name.ext|caption|alt=alt language
| |
| File:file_name.ext|caption|alt=alt language
| |
| {...}
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Note that the image code is not enclosed in brackets when enclosed in gallery tags.
| |
| | |
| Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
| |
| | |
| If an image is in the File namespace, the <code>File:</code> prefix can be omitted.
| |
| | |
| for example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| <nowiki><gallery></nowiki>
| |
| File:Example.jpg|Item 1
| |
| File:Example.jpg|a link to <nowiki>[[Help:Contents]]</nowiki>
| |
| File:Example.jpg
| |
| File:Example.jpg|alt=An example image. It has flowers
| |
| File:Example.jpg| <nowiki>''italic caption''</nowiki>
| |
| File:Example.jpg|on page "<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>"
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| </pre>
| |
| is formatted as:
| |
| <gallery>
| |
| File:Example.jpg|Item 1
| |
| File:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
| |
| File:Example.jpg
| |
| File:Example.jpg|alt=An example image. It has flowers
| |
| File:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
| |
| File:Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| | |
| === Optional gallery attributes ===
| |
| The gallery tag itself takes several additional parameters, specified as attribute name-value pairs:
| |
| | |
| <pre><gallery {parameters}>
| |
| {images}
| |
| </gallery></pre>
| |
| | |
| * <code>caption="{caption}"</code>: (caption text between double quotes for more than a word) sets a caption centered atop the gallery.
| |
| * <code>widths={width}px</code>: sets the widths of the images, default 120px. ''Note the plural, width'''s'''''
| |
| * <code>heights={heights}px</code>: sets the (max) heights of the images.
| |
| * <code>perrow={integer}</code>: sets the number of images per row.
| |
| * <code>showfilename={anything}</code>: Show the filenames of the images in the individual captions for each image (1.17+)

| == Link behavior ==
| |
| By default an image links to its file description page. The "link=" option modifies this behavior to link to another page or website, or to turn off the image's linking behavior. Alternatively, you can create a text link to an image's description page or to the image itself.
| |
| | |
| === Text link to image's file description page ===
| |
| Use a '''colon''' (<code>:</code>) before <code>{{ns:image}}:</code> to link to image's file description page:
| |
| | |
| {| cellpadding=10px
| |
| |
| |
| [[:{{ns:image}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}]]
| |
| |
| |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>:{{ns:image}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| [[:{{ns:image}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}{{!}}Sunflowers]]
| |
| |
| |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>:{{ns:image}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}|Sunflowers]]
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| === Text link to actual image ===
| |
| | |
| Use '''pseudo-namespace''' “{{ns:media}}” for a text link to the actual image:
| |
| | |
| {| cellpadding=10px width=90% align=center
| |
| |
| |
| [[{{ns:media}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}]]
| |
| |
| |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:media}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| [[{{ns:media}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}{{!}}Sunflowers]]
| |
| |
| |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:media}}:{{mediawiki:image_sample}}|Sunflowers]]
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| (If above gets you instead a text link to the image's file description, not a link to the actual image, perhaps your wiki's namespaces are configured out of compliance with this feature?)
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| === Display image, link it to another page or website ===
| |
| <!--{{note|link '''does not work with''' thumb '''or''' frame.}}
| |
| (@note above: link worked fine using thumb and frame)
| |
| (reply: thanks for pointing this out, must have been a bug fix)
| |
| (Note that MediaWiki v. 1.16 fails to link with 'frame' or 'thumb')
| |
| -->
| |
| | |
| Use "link=" option to link image to another page or website:
| |
| | |
| Clicking on the below image will take you to [[MediaWiki]]:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Wiki.png|50px|link=MediaWiki]]
| |
| | |
| [[File:Wiki.png|50px|link=MediaWiki]]
| |
| | |
| Clicking on the below image will take you to ''example.com'':
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Wiki.png|50px|link=http://example.com]]
| |
| | |
| [[File:Wiki.png|50px|link=http://example.com]]
| |
| | |
| === Display image, turn off link ===
| |
| Use "link=" option with no value assigned to turn link off entirely; the below image is not a link:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:Wiki.png|50px|link=]]
| |
| | |
| [[File:Wiki.png|50px|link=]]
| |
| | |
| == Requisites ==
| |
| Before using images in your page, the system administrator of your wiki must have enabled file uploads and a user has to [[Help:Managing files|upload the file]]. System administrators may also set the wiki to accept files from foreign repositories}}, such as the [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons]. For server side image resizing it is necessary to have a scaler configured (such as GD2, ImageMagick, etc.).
| |
| | |
| == Files at other websites ==
| |
| You can link to an external file available online using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page. With these syntaxes, the image will not be rendered, but only the text of the link to this image will be displayed.
| |
| <pre>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</pre>
| |
| | |
| Or with a different displayed text:
| |
| <pre>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</pre>
| |
| | |
| Additional MediaWiki markup or HTML/CSS formatting (for inline elements) is permitted in this displayed text (with the exception of embedded links that would break the surrounding link):
| |
| <pre>[http://www.example.com/some/image.png Example '''<del>rich</del>''' ''<ins>link text</ins>'' here.]</pre>
| |
| which renders as: [http://www.example.com/some/image.png Example '''<del>rich</del>''' ''<ins>link text<ins>'' here.]
| |
| | |
| If it is enabled on your wiki, you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
| |
| <pre>http://url.for/some/image.png</pre>
| |
| Currently, embedded images cannot be resized, but they may be formatted by surrounding MediaWiki markup or HTML/CSS code.
| |
| | |
| If this wiki option is not enabled, the image will not be embedded but rendered as a textual link to the external site, just like above.
