A picture with alternate text:	`A picture with alternate text: [[Image:INV_Axe_04.png\| A WoW inventory icon for an axe]]` Alternative text, used when a mouse hovers over the image or when the image is not loaded in a text-only browser, or when spoken aloud, is strongly encouraged.

Clicking on an uploaded image displays a description page, which you can also link directly to: Image:Beastmaster1.jpg	`[[:Image:Beastmaster1.jpg]]`
To include links to images shown as links instead of drawn on the page, use a "media" link. Image of Bruiseweed	`[[media:Bruiseweed.png\|Image of Bruiseweed]]`
To include thumbnails of very large images, use the "thumb" tag in the image link. Archmage Malin's helpful teleport!	`[[Image:Return_to_Jaina_teleport_from_Archmage_Malin.jpg\|thumb\|Archmage Malin's helpful teleport!]]` Thumbnails will float to the right side of the page by default.
Left aligned thumbnails of very large images, use the "thumb" and "left" tag in the image link. Archmage Malin's helpful teleport!	`[[Image:Return_to_Jaina_teleport_from_Archmage_Malin.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Archmage Malin's helpful teleport!]]`
