This page is too long. Roger will divide it into separate pages linked to Help:Cheatsheet.

Image

• Upload the image to the wiki first--click Upload file in toolbox in left sidebar--unless the image is already on the wiki.
• Then display it on a wiki page using this wiki markup syntax with or without options:

[[File:Example.xxx | option | option ]]

zero or more of the following options may be declared in any order: frame | left | center | right | <width>px | thumb | border | some caption *anything not matching an option is used as hover text or, with frame or thumb, a caption.

• width is a number + px, example: 200px. Width does not work with frame, and with thumb only works to scale smaller than full size of image.
• frame presents image at actual size.
• thumb presents image at a default thumbnail size.
• caption text only works with thumb or frame, otherwise it is hover text.

Example:

[[File:Apple.gif|frame|left|Yum yum]]

Renders:

Yum yum

CSS

Cascading style sheet declarations can be added to the MediaWiki:Common.css page if needed. Explain your need on its talk page. Generally it is best to use the default style of the site.
