[edit] Quick Wiki Reference

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.



[edit] Additional Features:

[edit] Embedding video

Use the following code:

<youtube>[youtube code]</youtube>
<gvideo>[Google video code]</gvideo>

Example:

<youtube>A83hfuhpo398</youtube>
<gvideo>723we689f93b64</gvideo>

[edit] Embedding flash

Use the following code:

<flash>file=(filename-internal or external)|param1=value1|param2=value2|...</flash>

Example:

<flash>file=myflash.swf|flashvars=?var1=val&var2=val|width=320|height=200</flash>

Detailed documentation on Mediawiki.

[edit] Indenting a paragraph

simply place the tag:

<para/>

at the beginning of any line to indent

[edit] Citations, footnotes, references

to add footnotes to a page[1], automatically incrementing, insert the following code, then add an empty <references/> tag where you want the footnotes to appear

this line of text has a footnote<ref>text appearing in footnote below</ref>

<references/>

[edit] Relative Linking

instead of using the standard [[pagename|display]] format, use:

{{rl|pagename|display}}

this will allow access to sub-pages without having to link down the entire url to the root web
eg: /Resources/People/Ingame could be referenced as {{rl|Ingame}} from the People page. eg: /Resources/People/OOgame could be referenced as {{rl|../OOgame|OOgame}} from the Ingame page

[edit] Spoiler tag

to hide potential spoiler text inline, place it within

<spoiler>test</spoiler>

[edit] Embedded sections

to include subpages within the content, you can use the code:

{{section|content=(namespace:pagename)|header=(text)|color=(name)}}

or on multiple lines

{{section|
|content=(namespace:pagename)
|header=(text)
|color=(name)

'namespace' can be ignored for main pages, but the colon must remain - that is, the '/Puzzles' page could be referenced as 'content=:Puzzles' or 'content=WorldWithoutOil:Puzzles'
both 'header' and 'color' are optional. Leaving header blank removes the header line entirely. Leaving color blank renders the box in gray
The box is rendered to 100% of the width of the containing object (thus, to place some side by side, either enclose the template in a floated div, or within table cells, for example.


  1. the footnote, of course, will be displayed in the footer
