    • 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
    • Here for the general code: [[File:Wikipedia-Marker-commons.svg|thumb|A picture from Wikimedia Commons embedded in this Wiki]]
