Tutorial: How to Embed Wikipedia Links into an Image By: twillisjr Twillisjr (talk) 18:35, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Examples? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Twillisjr/sandbox (bottom)

Background:

This tutorial allows a registered Wikipedia user to upload a picture with lines, but without words on the image, and replace where the words "would be" instead with links to Wikipedia pages/articles. This is done with Template:Annotated image 4 and uses GIMP to locate the PIXELS where the Blue Wikipedia Article link will be added. This way, a learner/user can click a word in an image, and learn more instantly.
