Typically you would upload an image file (Special:Upload) to the wiki (See 
Help:Managing files) ...before you use the following wiki text to place the image on an article:
| Description | You type | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Embed image (with alt text) |
|
|
| Link to description page |
| |
| Link directly to file |
| |
| Thumbnail (centered, 100 pixels wide, with caption) |
|
 |
| Frameless Like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width but without border and no right float. |

Syntax
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.
Other files
You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.
[http://url.for/some/image.png]
Or with different text:
[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]
If it is enabled on your wiki (see Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
http://url.for/some/image.png
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 |
