Every image uploaded to the wiki has its own image page. There will be few circumstances—such as entries on Buildings that contain plaques—where it will be desirable to link to an image page instead of displaying the image within an entry.

There may also circumstances in the future in which an entry has many applicable pictures; instead of displaying them all in the entry, consider hyperlinking to some image pages.

Example: [[:Image:MarkzPhoto.jpg]]
