Embedding internal images
"Internal Images" refers to images you uploaded to this wiki section or existing images. Only images proper can be automatically presented.
An embedded internal image automatically links to the image page, which shows the full image, or, depending on preferences, a reduced version with a link to the full version. The page also provides info about the image.
[[image:CAT_Helmet-48x48.png|abc]] gives
[[image:CAT_Helmet-48x48.png|70x60px|abc]] gives
[[image:CAT_Helmet-48x48.png|50px|thumb|abc]] gives (see on the right):
To add the uploaded image to an article as a thumbnail, one can use
[[Image: image name including extension |thumb|caption]]
or [[Image: image name including extension |thumb|width in pixels px|caption]]
or [[Image: image name including extension |thumb|maximum width in pixels×maximum height in pixels px|caption]]
In the latter case the image will keep its original aspect ratio: either the width or the height will be equal to the specified maximum, whichever allows the other to be <= the maximum.
The default thumbnail width can be set in the preferences, so typically it is better not to specify "px", in order to respect the users' preferences (unless, for a special reason, a specific size is required regardless of preferences, or a size is specified outside the range of widths 120-300 that can be set in the preferences).
