Proper way to insert images in infoboxes
editHello @Theinternetguru. I am @Archer1234. I noticed your recent edit to Michael Cranford where you added an image to the infobox. I want to let you know that the way you added the image was not done according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE).
- When adding an image to an infobox, thumbnails should NOT be used. Simply supplying the file name will work. For example, to use File:Image PlaceHolder.png, you can simply use
|image=Image PlaceHolder.png. Captions should be specified with the|caption=parameter. Every infobox is different and the documentation for the infobox in question should be consulted for the proper parameters to match the image and caption.
- To fix
Do not use the full image syntax:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead, just supply the name of the image. So, in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg
and optionally:
|caption=Some image caption.
Hopefully you will find this information useful for your future editing. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. — Archer1234 (u·t·c) 21:08, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
