How to write a caption

From Great Lakes Wiki

Once a photo is uploaded, you can place it into an article. From there, it is possible to make the image into a thumbnail, which will expand on its very own page when clicked on. To do so:

• First
  • Within the editing page the image code button, which looks like a little picture
    

[[Image:Example.jpg]]

• Second
  • Make the image into a thumbnail by using the verticle bar, or pipe key (shift+\)
    
  • Type "thumb" after the pipe

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb]]

• Third
  • Add one more pipe after thumb
  • Type your caption!

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|This is just an example]]

---

For the photo on your right the code would look like this:

[[Image:Hypnosis.gif|thumb|This is so confusing!]]

If you want to caption a large image, use "frame" instead of "thumb":

[[Image:Hypnosis.gif|frame|I hope this is bigger!]]
