Yes, you can. Moin is not so limited as all that. Feel free to upload
screenshots to one easy-to-remember page (Images, for example) and link
them from there.

Personally, I think screenshots can be useful, but when overused they
can also really get in the way. I believe there is a vein of thought
that screenshots should never be used in high-quality documentation. I
wouldn't go that far, but when they do not actually help explain
anything, and are just pretty, I think they don't help.

Icons for tips and warnings are good, IMO.
