| Adding images to your page |
Only curators can upload and make available a new image/picture. Available images can be reviewed by category.
BoyWiki users must submit new images via email or by adding a request to the requests for image uploads page, and externally hosted images may not be linked inline with article text. Any image that is contributed must conform to the base guidelines and be submitted to be licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License by the copyright holder.
Basics
Basic wikicode
The basic wikicode is:
- [[Image:filename.jpg]]
This would show the raw file
- [[Image:filename.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|''Comment on the image'']]
In this case, it is a thumbnail centered left. 1.5 determines a proportion of the original file.
Links
To link to some other page, specify its name in the link option along with an appropriate caption that hints to readers what will happen if they click on the link. This caption serves both as title text for the tooltip, and as alt text for visually disabled readers. For example, "
[[File:CARAGLIO Giovanni Jacopo 1530c Apollo e Giacinto 802x1042.jpg|100px|right|link=Hyacinth (mythology)|Hyacinth]]" generates an image that links to the article about Hyacinth.
