More than one image on page
There are several ways of organising multiple images on a page.
These are examples of some of the techniques which have been used in The Wiki. They are based on using a table.
For an explanation of how tables are constructed see Working With Tables
Simple row ~ no caption

Simple Gallery ~ small thumbnails
Using the Mediawiki Gallery gives a preset table. You have little or no flexibility in using this.
If you click on the pictures, you see the image itself. Selecting the link takes you to the page in The Wiki.
THE CODE
<gallery caption="CONTENTS">
Image: WIP2_fr2.jpg|[[World_Index_Page]]
Image: Surnames3_fr2.jpg|[[Surname Directory]]
Image: Census_fr2.jpg|[[Census_Search]]
</gallery>

Images as hyperlinks to external websites and externally hosted images
***still working on this section***
This example uses clickable pictures - this has the advantage of allowing you to use images to hyperlink to sites outside The Wiki. The first URL is the external URL of the full sized image. The thumbnail uses the URL of the image on The Wiki. The thumbnail image has to be uploaded to The Wiki in the size you need to use.
This example gives a choice between either a picture which will take you to the photobucket version or a text link which will also take you direct to the photobucket version. When the thumbnail is clicked, you see the picture in the orginal size.

Hello Sailor |
Table as used in the Places of Worship
xxxxxxxxxx still working on this bit xxxxxxxxxx
These pictures are laid out in a table. You can have single pictures or several in a row.
Clicking on the picture takes you to the full size image.
The advantage to this method is that you can add a caption to the picture.
<table cellpadding=10>
