- This article is about image editing help. For image use policy, see NeoDex:Image use policy.
Using and editing images of the NeoDex is a crucial part being an editor. An image - be it a picture, a diagram, or, where appropriate, a photograph - can help illustrate an article's subject.
Using images
The most basic and simplest coding an editor can use to place an image in an article is the following...
{|align=right
|(insert Neopets image URL here)
|}
|
If the [images.neopets.com/images/shields/newbie.gif newbie] User Lookup shield URL was used, it would look like the image on the right. Doing this quickly shows the image the editor wants and how it can be presented into the article, with the image being aligned as needed. Doing this pulls the image from the Neopets server, however, and despite the fact many fansites and pet pages practice this it's not an absolute solution to placing an image on an article. Also, this method should not be used on websites outside of Neopets.
Using this method should only be a temporary solution, as the main goal is to upload an image directly into the NeoDex database via the Upload File tool (read Image use policy to understand this more). The coding for the exact same results for that above would then be...
The result would then be what it looks like to the right. This coding can also be altered with the "frame" coding...
[[(insert NeoDex image coding here)|frame|This is the Newbie sheild found on a User Lookup of new Neopets users.]]
Doing this gives it a professional look, and allows text to describe what the image is.
