Alright, hi DIN0, welcome to the Wiki!

OK, first things are first. :P I'll teach you about templates. On an editing page, on the right side, you should see a small scroll bar. If you are in Visual mode (you can tell by the tabs at the top, you will see a button under Templates for Add other templates. You will see a list of commonly used templates. You can also search some, if you don't see the one that you want to use. In a template, you will see bars where you can input info. One of the first is always an image (it's actually the 2nd one). To insert an image into a template (ONLY into an Infobox template), type File:FileName.jpg It might not be jpg, it might be png or something else. Make sure to know what the picture type is.

Now I'll tell you how to categorize photos. When you insert a photo, you may have noticed that you come to a page for the photo. At the bottom, you will see a list of Categories. For images, have one of the categories be Images. :P If it is an avatar for a user, also add in Avatar for a Category. The same thing can be done on project pages, but you can only delete Categories by going into the editor. Above Templates, on the side, you will see a list of categories. You can delete one by hovering over the category and clicking the trash can. You might not know what categories to add, but some basic ones are User, Project Creator, Wiki Member, Wiki Memembers (Staff), 100+ Supported (that's a Category only for Users) and 100+ Supporters (for Projects). The Proejct Creator one is used WITH User.

OK. Next is adding a file to a template that is NOT an Infobox. You do the same as before, but you have to add  around File:FileName.picturetype.

Now to tell you about internally linking (linking to a page on the Wiki). If you want to do that, put brackets around the page's name. Page Name. If you want to link to a page, but have the link appear as something else, put What You Want to Appear. If you want to EXTERNALLY link, put [URL Text to appear]. Or you can just have to URL appear as itself and just put the URL.

OK, what's next...Oh! Bolding and italicizing. If you want to bold, put three apostrophes on one end of the word(s) that you want to bold. Then put three apostrophes on the other end. For italicizing, it's 2 apostrophes rather than 3.

A lot of this stuff can be done with buttons in Visual mode, but knowing Source coding is good. FYI, Visual accepts Source coding. Also, Source mode DOES have buttons at the top.

If you need any help with anything, let me know. Or Codyn. Or DK. Or really any experience user. :P :)

P.S. In Visual mode, you have to copy and paste with Ctrl C and Ctrl V, respectively. Also, only Source mode will find you typos, not Visual. AND, I highly recommend adding photos and links in Source mode (unless you're adding them to an Infobox, then do it in Visual. :)

I have a new Wiki, 10 pages, but it will be helpful for you. It's this one. :)
