Template:Image/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Image (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Overview

This template displays an image. Including the image in a template makes it easier to transclude through DPL.

This is particularly useful because articles on items (such as badges or salvage) often contain an image that represents the article, but the image often isn't isolated in a section of its own. This template allows these images to be easily extracted for use in other templates or pages.

Important Note: This template isn't meant to be used to display all images. It should only be used at most once on a given page, and should only be used on the image that would best represent the page. For badges, this would be the badge icon. For salvage, this would be the salvage image. If you're just displayed a normal image, or if the article is about more than a single, narrowly-defined item, you probably just want to include the image normally.

Important Note: If you notice that an article is using the Image template, please do not undo it unless you know it's safe to do so. If you undo the templating, you'll very likely be breaking a bunch of pages that are relying on it.
