Headers

Start with

== Level 2 Headers ==

then use

=== Level 3 Headers ===

and so on.

Maximum is level 6, level 1 should be avoided.

Bullet lists

Start each line with a * for a bullet, a # for a number, and a : for an "invisible" bullet. Repeat two symbols (**) to add an indentation level.

You can mix symbols

And go down as many levels as you want
Numbers are given automatically. Don't add them yourself.

Uploading Files

Use the "Upload file" link on the right of the page.
- You can give your file a more meaningful name when uploading. File:random dp.jpg is easier to undersand than File:112456247863.jpg.
- When replacing images, refer your browser's cache for the new file to actually appear.

Image Parameters

[[File:everyonegetsshot.jpg]] for the full picture
[[File:everyonegetsshot.jpg|100px]] for a scaled picture without a frame
[[File:everyonegetsshot.jpg|frame|caption]] for a captioned frame without scaling the picture
[[File:everyonegetsshot.jpg|thumb|caption]] for a captioned frame with a scaled thumbnail
