Images are common enough element on modern wiki pages to deserve their own markup. This allows to also just link to images, without actually displaying them, and to have images with exotic extensions or without extensions at all.
The most common image markup was double curly brackets ( {{}} ) which will then have the same internal structure as links for consistency.
The markup can be extended by some engines to more generally mean page transclusion (inclusion).
