tanasinn.info uses the same open-source software as Wikipedia. Their [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia|help pages]] are a more complete resource to learn how to edit the wiki, but they tend to be tl;dr. ===== Editing pages ===== You can edit most pages by clicking the 'erpe' button. You can edit specific paragraphs by clicking the '[erpe]' links in front of paragraph titles - it's often more convenient that way. The edits you make are logged. If you are not registered, your IP will not be displayed to **normal** users. ===== Important things to remember ===== * Don't worry if you get something wrong. Somebody is likely to fix it later. * Use the preview button. * Try to sign your name, address, phone number, social security number, credit card number expiration date and the fucking 3 digits behind for you comments on talk pages when it's important to know who is speaking. Don't forget the credit card details. (use ~~~~ to add a dated signature) * Links: * http:%%//%%google.com → http://google.com * [http:%%//%%google.com] → [[http://google.com|1]] * [http:%%//%%google.com google] → [[http://google.com|google]] * Titles: Start with == Level 2 titles ==\\ then use\\ === Level 3 titles ===\\ and so on. Maximum is level 6. * Bullet lists: start each line with a * for a bullet, with a # for a number. Use two symbols (%%**%%) to add an indentation level. - You can mix both symbols - And go down as many levels as you want - Use the preview button. - Numbers are given automatically. Don't add them yourself. * Upload a picture: use the "Upload file" link on the left of the page. * You can give your file a more meaningful name when uploading. Image:FUCKING CAT.jpg is easier to undersand than Image:1147674449393.jpg. * PNG files may not be resized properly, and resized GIF files are not animated. * Picture usage ^What you type ^What you recieve ^ |[[Image:Delayclose.jpg]] |{{Delayclose.jpg|Delayclose.jpg Delayclose.jpg}} | |[[Image:Delayclose.jpg|100px]] |{{Delayclose.jpg?100|Delayclose.jpg Delayclose.jpg}}| |[[Image:Delayclose.jpg|frame|caption]]|{{Delayclose.jpg|caption caption}} | |[[Image:Delayclose.jpg|thumb|caption]]|{{Delayclose.jpg|caption caption}} | * Use the preview button. * When you leave a message to an user's talk page, they will be notified. ===== Tables ===== Tables are a bitch to get right. You can use HTML formating or wiki formating. Whatever you do, make sure it will be easy to edit and add comments. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table|Use this WP page for help]].
