Quick Help

Links

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
  1. And go down as many levels as you want
  2. 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
