Before you add an image to Wikinvest, be sure you are authorized to do so. For example, bar graphs and pie graphs in company articles should be your own that you've created from excel -- not from another research source.

Adding Images

To add an image into a page:

1. Make sure the image is saved as a .jpg, .gif, or .png file
2. Upload the image using the "Upload image" button in the toolbox in Edit Mode, or open this link in a new window. Important: Be sure to remember your filename!
3. After uploading, find where you want to insert the image in the page's edit markup, enter the filename (e.g. image.jpg), highlight it, and press the "Embedded image" button of the toolbox in Edit Mode. Or you can type the following, replacing image.jpg with your image name: [[Image:image.jpg]]

Image Tags

There are a number of tags you can add into an image link:

[[Image:image.jpg|thumb|200px|left|caption here<ref>footnote here</ref>]]

• thumb means the image will be a thumbnail (reduced to a width of 180px unless otherwise specified) with a frame. If a caption is written, it goes below the image. Other options:
  • frame: original image size preserved; a box is added around the image. Optional caption below the image.
  • (nothing specified): original image size preserved; no border added around the image. No caption shown.
  • border: same as if nothing is specified, but a border is added around the image.

• 200px reduces/enlarges the image to 200 pixels wide. This size command overrides all others. Replace with any number you like.
  • 100x200px makes the image 100 pixels wide and 200 px tall. Replace with any numbers.

• left makes the image align left, with text appearing to its right.
  • right: same as above, but image on the right.
  • center: image centered, text appearing above and below (not wrapped).
  • (nothing specified): image on left by default, text appears above and below.

• caption here is not recognizable as any of the above tags, so it is automatically read as a caption. The words "caption here" will appear below the image, if a caption is shown. Replace "caption here" with whatever your caption is.

• ref is the same citation syntax as is used elsewhere on Wikinvest. If you are posting an image with data in it, you are required to cite your references
