Techniques for inserting images and creating galleries in visual editor, or using MediaWiki markup.
Inserting images using visual editor is quite simple: select Insert > Images and media and follow the onscreen instructions.
Insert image menu item
Set an alternative text and a caption
Define image position, size and style
