:To answer the question, I think it is functioning as designed: the ''caption text'' or ''alt-text'' or whatever you want to call it is not "thrown away", it is merely acting the same way as the old-style syntax of <nowiki>[[image:digital_dec_logo.jpg|Logo of Digital Equipment Corporation]]</nowiki> would do. In my opinion, using it as <tt>title</tt>, <tt>alt</tt> ''and'' an inline caption is somewhat overdoing it anyway... - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 00:52, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

::There are a lot of articles in Wikipedia that have images or diagrams that are already sized to be displayed as-is, without thumbnails, and which also have captions. As soon as I found out about this new image syntax the very first thing I did was try to create such an non-thumbnail image/caption structure with it, and was puzzled when it didn't. I think it's not at all overkill to display the caption text as a caption too, since that's one of the main things I want to ''do'' with images. :) [[User:Bryan Derksen|Bryan]] 00:41, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
