Help:Image placeholder



You can add an image placeholder to help set up new pages!

Creating a placeholder
To create a placeholder, type  into the edit window and save the page.

The code for the placeholder can be customized like a normal image - for example,  will produce a right-aligned thumbnail placeholder with a width of 300px, with a caption.

To edit the placeholder tag directly (without uploading an image), use source mode.

Using a placeholder
The placeholder produces a box with an "Add Image" button for users to click. Clicking it in view mode (or WYSWIWYG mode in the rich text editor) allows you to insert images quickly, using the Help:Add Images tool.

The settings defined by the placeholder tag carry across to the inserted image - for example  might be replaced by.

Note: currently the default settings for a placeholder are to insert a right-aligned thumbnail, even from, as this is generally normal usage on a wiki.
