The Images
Use the Template:Figure template at the beginning of each figure. Figures must be manually numbered. Automatically numbering figures sequentially would require a plugin to the page renderer, like for references.

The template can take a single parameter, giving the figure number. This must be unique. With a single parameter, the template will render as "Figure X." The second parameter allows this to be changed to arbitrary text.

The references
Figures are referenced with the Template:See Figure template. It takes one or two parameters: the figure number, and an optional text to be displayed. The default is 'figure X'.


 * Examples:

Avoid spaces around the figure number, as this will mess up the link.

Tables
Tables can be added using the Template:Table and Template:See Table templates. They take the same parameters as Figure. See for an example.
