Leave out the space between the leading brackets!

[ [Head.png|left]] leads to file-page, useful to update the file

Left just makes for more than a single line next to it.

[ [Head.png|50px]]

[ [Head.png|75px|caption]] shows mouseover caption.

[ [Head.png|100px|link=]] unclickable.

[ [Head.png|150px|center|link=url|caption]], whereas url can be either an internal link or an external http-address. Note that nothing goes left or right of a centered image.

Templates
