	Inserting a JPEG, GIF, or PNG image is pretty straightforward – when using the visual page editor, click the "File" button and upload the image. Or in Wikitext, use <code><nowiki>[[image:filename]]</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>[[file:filename]]</nowiki></code>. Also SVG images are supported (<code><nowiki>[[file:some.svg]]</nowiki></code>), they are automatically transformed into PNG images by the MediaWiki software, because not all Browsers come with native SVG support. A possible problem can arise when the image uses fonts that are not available on the wiki server. To prevent such errors, you can transform text into graphic objects before uploading the image here.
