Clear this above parameter to add your caption. You can use [_link_URL_ _caption_or_short_blurb_for_link_text_] to make all or part of the caption have a weblink. Alternatively, replace this parameter with the one below for a caption for a "hidden" image; note that you can't put a weblink inside the transclusion [[ ]], so you'd have to make a separate part of the caption be the text for a URL. You could use a <ref> reference_here </ref> tag instead, of course.
