These appear on the right-hand side of the wiki page with a caption below them. The recommended size is 400px.

Use the following markup: 

[[File:yourfile.png|thumb|400px|Your caption goes here.]]

Example: Mounts

Footnote images

These appear in the {{Notes}} section at the bottom of the wiki page. The recommended size for footnote images is 350px.

Use the following markup: 

<ref>[[File:yourfile.png|350px]]</ref>
