First, upload the visual material (JPG or PNG) on a separate page, by using the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] page in the sidebar on the left. Use a memorable name for the uploaded file. Then, paste either line of the below code to where you would like the illustration to appear and replace the capitalized words with information about the material. Delete the last section if the picture should not include a caption. When illustrations appear in a group, they should either be of the same width or the same height.
