| - | == Links ==
| + | |
| - | In a wiki, there are two kinds of links; intra-wiki links (those that lead to other articles on the same wiki) and external links which lead anywhere.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To add a intra-wiki link to the [[RHESSI]] wiki
| + | |
| - | <pre>surround the title of the article by [[double brackets]]. Even if the page does not exist the link will be created.</pre>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To add an [http://www.example.com external link]
| + | |
| - | <pre> use the syntax [http://www.example.com external link] </pre>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Images ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Images can be added to any article. Images must first be uploaded using the link in the toolbox on the left of the page (upload file). A name and description must then be given. A thumbnail of the image can then be included as follows
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <pre>[[Image:Example.jpg|center|thumb|100px|Sunflowers]]</pre>
| + | |

| - | | + | |
| - | == Categories ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Categories are used to maintain some organization to the wiki. To add an article to a category put the following at the end of the page you are editing.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <pre>[[Category:NAME]]</pre>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | where NAME is the name of the category you want to add it to. Any number of category tags may be added to the page - the page will be listed in all of them.
