{{Documentation}}

This templates allows images to be used as links pointing to a desired page. i.e. a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigational_image navigational image].

{| class="wikitable"
|
[[File:Information icon.svg|left]]
Note that this functionality can now be achieved more efficiently by using the <code>'''link='''</code> option on the <code>'''<nowiki>[[File:....]]</nowiki>'''</code> markup instead.

For example, <code>'''<nowiki>[[File:Magic-icon.png|link=Magic]]</nowiki>'''</code> produces [[File:Magic-icon.png|link=Magic]].
|}

==Syntax==
<pre><nowiki>{{clickpic|Target page title|Full image path}}</nowiki></pre>

'''Note:'''
This only works for Mediawiki sites that support [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Embedding_external_images|embedding external images] such as the [[RuneScape Wiki]]. However, when using this template it is recommended that the image used is actually an internally-held image (i.e. uploaded unto the wiki).

Some Wikimedia sites do not support embedding external images, but plenty of other personal, public and corporate intranet Mediawiki-based sites do, and these can use this template to make navigational images easy to implement.

==Usage==
If this template is duplicated on a Mediawiki site, here is the code:
<pre><nowiki><span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:{{{1}}}}} {{{2}}}]</span></nowiki></pre>

For information such as:
* How to obtain the full path of the image which is needed for this template
* What to do if there is a whitespace problem in Internet Explorer or Opera

Please see further details from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CharlesC/Template_for_navigational_images_on_Mediawiki_websites the original template creator].

==Example==
An example of a navigational image built with this template is:
{{clickpic|magic|http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/runescape/images/7/77/Magic-icon.png}}
where clicking on the image links to the [[magic]] skill page on the website. Note that the template only supports internal links, as the template will always pre-fix the target argument with the path to the root of the wiki.

Note that clicking on a standard image such as [[File:Magic-icon.png]] refers to the actual image upload file and associated descriptions.
