Vinismo is written by its readers -- Internet users like you -- and we need your help! Try our getting started guide to learn how.
All image-related code is to be put between two pairs of brackets [[like this]] with each instruction separated by vertical bars (|).
Note: Before inserting images in a page, you must upload them to the server.
edit Managing images
| Description | You type | You get |
| Embedded image (with alt text) |
|
|
| Link to the image description page |
| |
| Thumbnail (centered, 100 pixels wide, with caption) |
|
 |
| Border Results in a very small border |
|
|
| Frameless Like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width but without border and no right float. |

edit Uploaded files
To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:
[[Image:Example.jpg]]
If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
[[Image:Example.jpg|Image of sunflowers in a field]]
If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
[[:Image:Example.jpg]]
You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
[[:Image:Example.jpg|Sunflowers in a field]]
edit Advanced options
The full syntax for displaying an image is:
[[Image:{name}|{options}]]
Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
thumb,thumbnail, orframe: Controls how the image is formattedleft,right,center,none: Controls the alignment of the image on the page{width}px: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels{caption text}
The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.
edit Gallery of images
It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <gallery> tag. The syntax is:
<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>
Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
for example:
<gallery> Image:Example.jpg|Item 1 Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]] Image:Example.jpg Image:Example.jpg Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption'' </gallery>
is formatted as:
Item 1 |
a link to Help:Contents |
|
|
italic caption |
edit Our Common image repository
To facilitate the use of the same file by all linguistic versions of Vinismo, we created a specific Common repository, which is actually configured like a Vinismo version of its own, with the URL www.vinismo.com/common/. There's nothing to see there; it's just a repository for files uploaded to Vinismo so that they can be inserted in all pages of the whole server by the same image inclusion code.
To edit an image description page, you must replace the /en/ part of the address in your browser by /common/. For example, to modify the description page for Example.jpg, go to www.vinismo.com/common/Image:Example.jpg. More on that in Vinismo:Adding images.
