Wiki Editing Basics

The following are a few basic wiki editing techniques that you may find useful.

To edit any WIKI page, login/register and click "edit" at the top of a page.

While editing a page, use == Insert Text == to add a new page topic and page navigation item.

To create a new page, or link to another wiki page use [[Insert Page Name Here]]

To add a thumbnail image to a page with a caption and a link to a larger image, use [[Image:Pic_an_image_name.jpg|thumb|caption_text|80px|right|]] Once you've done that, go back to the page you edited, click on the name of the image, which will take you to an upload page. Upload the image, and you're done. Following similar steps, adding [[Image:Pic_an_image_name.jpg|left|70px|]] will simply add a small picture without a large size image, or caption.

To add another column to your page add the pipe character |

If you like what someone else did, just click the "edit" button and take a look at their formatting, that's one of the simplest ways to figure things out.

Use the <br /&gt to add a line break if you need it.
