Image linking
Edit
Hello {{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}. You asked about images, so I'll reuse the example I used for Evatar. The base for image linking is this: [[File:filename.extension|size px|thumb|left/right|caption]]. Now, that may be confusing, so I'll explain.
- filename - That is the name of the image you're looking for. Suppose you want to use File: Azula-visions.PNG for a page on your story. Your image would begin looking like
[[File: Azula-visionsright now. - extension - It matters. If you use a .png file, then you will need to put that at the end of the file before moving on to the next part of the picture.
- size - How large you want your picture. The common sizes for pictures are usually 250 or 300 px, depending on preference. The whole "px" is needed after the number, because the number is measured in pixels, hence the "px". By now your picture should have
[[File: Azula-visions.PNG|250 px|. - thumb - This one is optional. If you don't use thumb, then the image won't be that much different. This gives the image the border that you see in use on many pages. If you use it, then it's fine; if not, still fine.
[[File: Azula-visions.PNG|250 px|thumb. - left/right - Also, not incredibly important. If you are using thumb, then it is more relevant, but it's only needed really if you want the image on the right since the system defaults to left.
[[File: Azula-visions.PNG|250 px|thumb|right|. - caption - Finally, the last part of the image, the all important caption. If you're using the thumb, then you'll have the text in the border of the thumb, and it will display when the mouse hovers over the image. If you didn't use thumb, then the image will display the text while the mouse is over the image only. So, the final image "code" is:
[[File: Azula-visions.PNG|250 px|thumb|right|Azula is crazy]]
Well, that's all there is to using images, and if you have any more questions, you know how to let me know.
