New page

==Resized Image for External Use==
''aka "Shrinked on-the-fly Images"''

Sometimes you want to create a smaller version of an image for use on some other site (e.g. a blog post) but you don't actually need that size image anywhere on the wiki.

What you can do is edit a page, use the syntax for displaying a resized image, but don't save the changes. Any page will do, including the image's "File:" page.

# Edit the page
# Put in code like this: <nowiki>[[File:Baby Snake4.jpg|400px]]</nowiki>
#* ...where "400px" is how wide you want the image to be. (Alternatively, you can specify width instead: <nowiki>[[File:Baby Snake4.jpg|x400px]]</nowiki>)
# Preview the page (press the [Preview] button)
# Right-click the image and select "Copy image location".
# You can now discard your edits by closing the tab or navigating to some other page -- or you can change the size if it's not quite right, and preview again. (Lather, rinse, repeat.)

Your copy-buffer now contains a permanent URL for the image at that size.
==Image Gallery==
This wikicode --
