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. ===Gallery of images=== It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is: <pre> <gallery> Image:{filename}|{caption} Image:{filename}|{caption} {...} </gallery> </pre> Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting. for example: <pre> <gallery> Image:Gramps-logo.png|Item 1 Image:Gramps-logo.png|a link to [[Help:Contents]] Image:Gramps-logo.png Image:Gramps-logo.png Image:Gramps-logo.png|''italic caption'' </gallery> </pre> is formatted as: <gallery> Image:Gramps-logo.png|Item 1 Image:Gramps-logo.png|a link to [[Help:Contents]] Image:Gramps-logo.png Image:Gramps-logo.png Image:Gramps-logo.png|''italic caption'' </gallery> ==Other files== You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for [[Help:Links#External links|linking to an external web page]]. This feature has to be enabled by the admin; in the new releases of MediaWiki its disabled due to security reasons. <code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</nowiki></code> Or with different text: <code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</nowiki></code> If it is enabled on your wiki, you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the url: *<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code> ==External Links== [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files MediaWiki help] [[Category:Help|Images]]

 ==Uploaded files==
 To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:
-*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Gramps-logo.png]]</nowiki></code>
+*<code><nowiki>[[File:Gramps-logo.png]]</nowiki></code>
 If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
-*<code><nowiki>[[Image:Gramps-logo.png|alternative text]]</nowiki></code>
+*<code><nowiki>[[File:Gramps-logo.png|alternative text]]</nowiki></code>
 If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
-*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Gramps-logo.png]]</nowiki></code>
+*<code><nowiki>[[:File:Gramps-logo.png]]</nowiki></code>
 To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace:
 *<code><nowiki>[[Media:Gramps-logo.png]]</nowiki></code>
 You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
-*<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Gramps-logo.png|link text]]</nowiki></code>
+*<code><nowiki>[[:File:Gramps-logo.png|link text]]</nowiki></code>
 *<code><nowiki>[[Media:Gramps-logo.png|link text]]</nowiki></code>
 ===Advanced options===
 The full syntax for displaying an image is:
-  <code><nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{options}]]</nowiki></code>
+  <code><nowiki>[[File:{name}|{options}]]</nowiki></code>
 Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
 *<code>thumb</code>, <code>thumbnail</code>, or <code>frame</code>: Controls how the image is formatted
