WoWWiki specific images and templates[]

WoWWiki has a many images uploaded already for Warcraft-related and World of Warcraft needs. Also, many templates have been created to display commonly used images (class, faction, profession, race, etc.) and some link to the related WoWWiki page.

Lists of images[]

Here are several list pages and categories of images already uploaded for use:

These lists may be out-of-date.

Templates[]

Many WoWWiki templates use topic specific images:

WoWWiki categories of images[]

Another way to find images is to look through category lists of images. This way allows you to see thumbnails of all the images to better decide what to use. The drawback is the listing is far from compact, because thumbnails are all the same size.

Navigational images[]

Other files[]

You can link to an external file (but it will not display the image) using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.

  • [http://url.for/some/image.png]

Or with different text:

  • [http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]


Turned off for WoWWiki

If it is enabled on your wiki (see <imagelink>Mediawiki-logo-18x24.png|http://www.mediawiki.org/</imagelink>Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages), you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:

  • http://url.for/some/image.png

Gallery of images[]

It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <gallery> tag. The syntax is:

<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>

Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.

for example:

<gallery>
Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
</gallery>

is formatted as:
