=Tips and tricks for editing wiki pages=<br />
==General rules==<br />
*- in wiki you document your project, it's not a personal diary (no first person: 'I', except in your user page)<br />
*- structure the information so that it can be browsed easily, leading a website visitor from general, short information in front page to detailed, more extensive information placed "deeper" in sub-pages<br />
==User accounts==<br />
*- you can change your user password by going to "special pages" link on the navigation panel (left) under "toolbox" and then going to "change password" under "users and rights"<br />
==Images and files==<br />
*- you can upload images and other files by clicking on "upload file" link on the navigation panel (left) under "toolbox"<br />
*- always prepend file name of uploaded file by project##_ where ## is the number of your project<br />
*- don't put text in the images unless absolutely necessary (e.g. in diagrams), use .pdf files only for additional information, don't upload files larger than 2MB unless absolutely necessary<br />
*- final images should be in 1920x1080 resulution. working images can/should be at smaller resultions<br />
*- if you upload images, be patient. if more people do it at once it may take time. if everyone stats re-uploading impatiently, the wiki will crash<br />
*- insert an image by including this in your text: <nowiki>[[File:filename.extension|850px|caption]]</nowiki> for smaller images replace 850px with a different number, don't put any larger value here!<br />
*- you can turn your image into a button by adding link=page_name, e.g. <nowiki>[[File:filename.extension|850px|caption|link=project01:Frontpage]]</nowiki><br />
*- for other image tricks, look here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images<br />
*- to include a youtube video use: <nowiki><youtube width="850" height="400">L1jC5W1cT5I</youtube></nowiki>syntax<br />
*- to include an automatic slideshow of images paste:<br />
<nowiki>{{#slideshow:</nowiki><br />
<nowiki><div>[[Image:User_Eric.jpg| 200px]]</div></nowiki><br />
<nowiki><div>[[Image:User_Linus.jpg| 200px]]</div></nowiki><br />
<nowiki><div>[[Image:User_Lotte.jpg| 200px]]</div></nowiki><br />
<nowiki>|id=bar sequence=forward transition=fade refresh=4000</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
==Formatting and adding pages==<br />
*- find formating tips here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing_pages<br />
*- to create a new page include this in your text: <nowiki>[[project##:page_name|displayed_name]]</nowiki>, where you replace ##, "page_name" and "displayed name" by appropriate text<br />
*- when you click on such created link it will allow you to create a new page<br />
*- don't rearrange the frontpage, keep sub-pages simple<br />
*- to start a new paragraph with a title (that can be separately edited) use <nowiki>==title==</nowiki> or <nowiki>=title=</nowiki> format<br />
==advanced tricks==<br />
*- to include special items, e.g. google map or other kind of video use <nowiki><html>special html code</html> format</nowiki><br />
*- don't overuse the above. never change the layout of the front page. don't add custom layouts, styles, columns, etc. to sub-pages.</div>Veronika Laszlo
