Revision as of 19:18, 11 November 2005The following is just a quick cheat sheet of wiki formating tips. For the best information go to the main wiki at wikimedia Contents
Creating a New PageWiki pages are creating by creating a link before the page! To create a new page, simply edit an existing page and add an internal link to the new page like [[My New Page]]. Then simply click on the link! Text
New LinesNew lines are specifiy by adding a blank line in between text. Consectutive lines of text have no effect on formatting. Alteratively you can add a <br/> tag to force a line break. Please include the slash in there as that is correct XML formatting. SectionsSections show up in the table of contents.
Lists
LinksUse internal links for all content inside this wiki. This allows us to prevent link breakage among a host of other beneficial features.
ImagesAll images have to be uploaded to be used. To link to an image just make an internal link to it like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg]]. It is recommend that you specify alternate text by adding a piped option like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|Frank Kozik]].
ThumnbnailsIf the images are large, it is really important to use thumbnails. To this just add the piped thumb option along with a size like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|thumb|64px]] By default, the thumbnail with appear on the right side of the page and the text will wrap around it. You can specify position arguments to change this.
Aligning ImagesImages can be put on the left, right or center by adding the piped option like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|thumb|64px|left]].
Clearing text wrappingWe have a template to help prevent images from running into taxt that may follow it and otherwise wrap around the text. Just add {{clr}} at the point in the document where you want the wrapping to end. BoxesThe easy way to make a box is to start a line with a space. |
