This gives a quick guide to editing on the wiki.
Text
You can use the buttons just above the edit box - play with them and see!
- Italics - ''Text''
- Bold - '''Text'''
- A simple internal link - [[Pagename]] (no http or anything)
- An internal link (piped) - [[Pagename|words to link to that page]]
- An external link - [URL words to link] (copy/paste the URL, then leave a space, and then type the words you want to appear on the link)
- To sign on a talk page ~~~~
- A header, use ==Header== for big headers, ===Header=== for smaller ones.
Images
![[[Image:Example.gif|250px|right|Caption]]](/wikichem/index.php/File:Example.gif)
- Recommended formats: SVG, PNG, GIF (Black & white or simple diagrams only), JPG (colour pictures).
- To upload a picture, follow the "upload file" link on the left, browse till you find your picture, then enter it. Be sure to add copyright & source!
- To place an image in the text, put the image name in square brackets, then put in the formatting information separated by "pipes" (the | symbol), viz.:
- Size - 50px (pixels) for a small icon, to about 600px for a page-wide reaction scheme.
- Thumbnail - if you want this type in thumb in place of (or as well as) the size.
- Position - put in left, center or right
- Caption - type in the text you want to appear under the thumbnail. Simple images (not thumbnails) can't easily have captions.
- Note that in wikis (unlike regular HTML), you can't (easily) use an image as a hyperlink to anything other than the image file.
For more help see on Wikipedia the picture tutorial, the images page and the image syntax page.
