Help talk:Images

Syntax section lacking. "Link" option not operational.
I was just trying to determine how to wrap an image in a link to another article. After reading the (limited) syntax section, I attempted to use the "link=" option to gain this functionality. After many test efforts, on this page, and using the Preview function (so as not to flood the history), I am still yet to achieve this goal. Is this article still current? Are the instructions clear and accurate? Or it is a problem at my end causing this issue? --203.13.128.101 06:48, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * See Help:Linked images. Note that the  parameter is very new. Check Special:Version, if the revision is not at least r41727 then this syntax is not yet available. Splarka 11:29, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I am also having the same issue that was mentioned, regarding the link functionality not working. I have a fully updated install, version 1.13.3. I'm using the provided syntax, as far as I can tell, but the image will only link to the standard image details page. Caseyparsons 17:45, 9 February 2009 (UTC).


 * r41727 means 1.14. —Emufarmers(T 01:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Text wrap?
How do one make tex wrap arround an image? --Asset 11:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

new File: NS
Should be noted that if you're using SVN, or editing on the wikimedia projects, that the namespace for "images" is File: now, not Image:. TBH, this makes more sense to me for what's now available on the projects ;).

Large Images
I can upload small images but when I upload images, files over 2mb; it just goes blank. When I resize it won't resize. Can someone help me. 86.136.108.50 17:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that your PHP configuration is limiting uploads of this size? I have this vague memory of getting "blank" pages when PHP didn't allow large enough uploads. That's all I can think of without more specific information about your problem. --Vjg 00:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I can't upload large files because the PHP configuration is limiting it. What do I have to do? 86.136.108.50 09:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That would depend upon how your PHP is configured and the requirements might change depending upon who is hosting your PHP-enabled site. See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize --Vjg 13:46, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the info. I have another query, basically on my main page i have a picture as a title. I don't want it to link anywhere, can I stop that? is it possible. 86.136.108.50 16:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Use Media instead of Image or File; otherwise see the new 'link=' syntax for "File". Also, these types of questions should be asked on the helpdesk as indicated at the top of this page. --Vjg 03:29, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Help:Images/frame and Help:Images/size
When importing this help page on my wiki, the {{/frame|frame [...] were interpreted as Template:/frame. I had to add change them to {{Help:Images/frame|frame [...] to make it work. Any idea why ?--Alagache 15:06, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Subpaging is enabled on the Help: namespace here. This can change the behavior of relative transclusions. See Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages. Splarka 16:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Page breaking
I'm just setting up a wiki, I turned on subpages for the help namespace as said above, is there anything else I need to turn on to stop it looking like this? http://www.suitableforvegetarians.info/wiki/index.php?title=Help:Images
