I am new to mediawiki, but am trying to get a handle on this powerful program.
I've uploaded a jpeg. It got stored in the images/ subdirectory as did a thumb in the images/thumb subdirectory. Obviously permissions and imagemagick are working.
However, when I use and [[Image:picture.jpg]], I get the full-sized image, not the thumb. How do I refer to the thumb.
Also, in html, I could use the align="left" or align="right" to flow a paragraph around the image. Is there an equivalent in mediawiki?
Thanks,
Ollie
Try using [[Image:picture.jpg|thumb|right]] :) See also the help page Picture tutorialhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorialon enwiki.

Use:
[[Image:picture.jpg|thumb|Alternate text for this picture]]

Use: [[Image:picture.jpg|right|thumb|Alternate text for this picture]]
to right-align the image.
The options for [[Image:file]] are:
right, left, center, none, sizepx, thumb[nail], frame, alt-text
Thanks,
Ollie
