MediaWiki: A Simple Table for Images and Captions


MediaWiki supports some basic formatting and captioning for images that are uploaded to the platform. This is not the case for externally hosted images.

My work-around is to use this simple MediaWiki table template:

{| border="1"
| ImageURL
|-
|style="text-align:center;"|'''Figure X''': Caption Text.
|}

I simply add the URL to my image and amend the caption text as required.

I am leaving this here so that I have a reference to copy and paste from.
