For some reason, I was using a template, and for the life of me I couldn't get the darn picture to load in right. Am I missing something?

A link to your page, or an idea of how you *are* inputting the information in the template, would probably be helpful for this-- if you haven't figured it out already.
If it's just showing up as a link, my educated guess is that you only need to put the name of the uploaded file, omitting the "File:" pretag.

EDIT: And as said below, make sure you've actually uploaded the image you want to the wiki. That would help. Tongue

You likely need to upload the picture as a file onto the wiki first, then link to the wiki version of the file. Â You don't use the traditional < img > html to get them to work, either. Â You just put the filename where you want the image to be (at least for most of the templates) and don't worry about other coding. Â But if there's another problem, I'm not entirely sure what it'd be. Â D:

THAT"S probably the problem right there.

Hah, yeah, I had to figure that one out too. Â Hopefully it helps!

Also, if you have other weird run-ins with wiki code, I've found a thing that helps me (since I can logically parse through some of the code as is, just don't know how to do all the things I want done) is browsing other people's pages, until you find one that has the element you like, then going to 'Edit' to see how they coded it. Â Not necessarily to steal their whole template format or anything, but like.. say, to figure out how to place an image, or to make a spoiler box or something.

So long as you don't change anything on their page, I doubt anyone would mind. Â Or at least, I wouldn't mind if someone looked at my wikipage codings. Â And you can always ask them or credit them if you're looking for more than just 'I wanted to know the wiki code for hiding text' or something. Â :>
