Images hinzufügen

Workaround

• export to C:\Uwes\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki-1.9.3\MyImages\
• link to [http://localhost/mediawiki-1.9.3/MyImages/<HTMLFilename> "<Text>"]

Standard

uploading the desired image in your MediaWiki folder. Then you need to indicate it in your post as an image using : [[image:tst.png]] (where tst.png is the name of the image).

You can also add thumbnailed images using: [[image:tst.png|thumb|caption]]

The images can be aligned so that you can add text next to it. Here is an example how to create a left alligned image:

[[image:tst.png|left|thumb|50px|]]

Quoting

<nowiki>...</nowiki>

Seite umbenennen

Its called 'move a page'. While moving there will be automatically a redirect page generated, which redirects the old name to the new name.
