Creating a Page
Search the page name that you wish to create. If the page doesn't exist, this message will appear:
"There were no results matching the query. Create the page "How to Make a Wiki" on this wiki!"
The name of your page will show up in red. Click this name and it will bring you to your new empty page.
Editing a Page
Once your page is created, use the toolbar on the left-hand side of the page.
- View your page
- Under the Views section, click Edit
Now you are editing your entire page.
Making a List
There are two ways to make a list - numerically and with bullet points.
Numerical Lists
To make a numerical list, put '#' in front of each item.
For example,
#Boil Potatoes #Mash Potatoes #Stick Potatoes in a stew.
Should read:
- Boil Potatoes
- Mash Potatoes
- Stick Potatoes in a stew.
Bullet points
To make a bullet-point list put a star,'*', in front of each item.
For example,
*This *Is *A *List
Should read:
- This
- Is
- A
- List
Inserting an Image
- On the left toolbar, scroll down to Toolbox
- Select Upload file
- Under 'Source File', hit the Upload File button
- Find the file you wish to upload and select it.
- Scroll down and hit Upload File
Go to the page you are editing and navigate to the section where you want the image, in edit mode. On the toolbar above the main text of your page, click on the Embedded File button, which looks like a portrait.
Text saying
[[File:Example.jpg]]
should appear. Put the name of your file in place of Example.jpg. The name of the file should match the name of the file you uploaded.
Your image should appear as the full version of your file.
Formatting an Image
- To move an image to the left or right of the page, use this text:
[[File:Example.jpg|left]]
[[File:Example.jpg|right]]
- To adjust the size of an image:
[[File:Example.jpg|300px|thumb]]
This example will produce a 300-pixel wide rendition of your image. Change the '300px' to whatever size you desire.
- To have a description beneath your image, just type your description after a '|'.
[[File:Example.jpg|left|This image is on the left.]]
- To combine them all, as in the example image on this page:
[[File:Spiritwolf.png|200px|thumb|right|This is a spirit wolf.]]
