  • be sure to review and note the license type
  • click on the upper right tab "View on Commons"
  • select "Use this file on a wiki" which open the dialog "Use this file on a wiki"
    • thumbnail code: note that this code tags for File
      • this code displays the thumbnail and will open to full screen on click
    • image code: note that this code tags for Image
      • this code displays the original image file, so it will likely need to be resized
