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.

<!--  
*** You can delete the episodeIcon line and transclude Media:FILENAME
*** in a caption like the one below for an image that might be a bit icky to look at,
*** as in Episodes 664, 851, and 890.
 
You can add the "hiddenIcon" line and put the FILENAME. This will generate a generic "hidden image" icon that will link to the same icon as in the caption. Example:
 
|hiddenIcon = File:890_monkeypox_smaller.jpg
|caption = Monkeypox rashes<br>[[Media:890 monkeypox smaller.jpg|<span style="color:green">'''Click to view image'''</span>]]
