Guidelines for editing pages

This is a wiki. That means that you can and may edit everything (if logged in), and that all edits are stored somewhere - which means that they are undo-able.

This is the one-page manual that explains how to edit a page in this wiki.

• If you are experiencing problems mail to the S&T webmaster: admin@sweetandtender.org.

Creating a new page

The most convenient way to create a new page is starting from an existing page.

  1. Think of a name for your page, e.g.: Performance in Madrid (2010).
  2. Go to an existing page where you want to put a link to the new page.
  3. Edit this page and write something like: On this wiki you can find everything about the [[Performance in Madrid (2010)]]
  4. After saving a red link will appear in the text: click this link and start editing the new page. (After editing the new link will become blue)
  5. You're Done!

It is also possible to create a new page from scratch.

  1. Think of a name for your page, e.g.: Performance in Lisboa (2015).
  2. Enter in your browser's address bar http://www.sweetandtender.org/wiki/index.php?title=Performance#in#Lisboa#(2015). (Note: # is used for blanks in the title. Ofcourse you can also choose to use a one-word title)
  3. You arrive on a new page, which you can edit. 
  4. Create the content of the page and save.
  5. You're Done!

Description	You type	You get
Embed image (with alt text)	[[Image:Wall.jpg|The Wall]]
Thumbnail (centered, 100 pixels wide, with caption)	[[Image:Wall.jpg|center|thumb|100px|The Wall]]	The Wall
Border (100 pixels) Results in a very small gray border	[[Image:Wall.jpg|border|100px]]
Frameless Like thumbnail, respect user preferences for image width but without border and no right float.	[[Image:Wall.jpg|frameless]]

Uploaded files

To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:

• [[Image:Wall.jpg]]

If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:

• [[Image:Wall.jpg|alternative text]]

If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:

• [[:Image:Wall.jpg]]

To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace:

• [[Media:Wall.jpg]]

You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:

• [[:Image:Wall.jpg|link text]]
• [[Media:Wall.jpg|link text]]

Advanced options

The full syntax for displaying an image is:

[[Image:{name}|{options}]]

Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:

• thumb, thumbnail, or frame: Controls how the image is formatted
• left, right, center, none: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
• {width}px: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
• {caption text}

The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.

Gallery of images

It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <gallery> tag. The syntax is:

<gallery>
Image:{filename}|{caption}
Image:{filename}|{caption}
{...}
</gallery>

Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.

for example:

<gallery>
Image:Wall.jpg|Item 1
Image:Wall.jpg|a link to [[Valentina Desideri]]
Image:Wall.jpg
Image:Wall.jpg
Image:Wall.jpg|''italic caption''
</gallery>

is formatted as:

Item 1	a link to Valentina Desideri
italic caption

Other files

You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for linking to an external web page.

• [http://url.for/some/image.png]

Or with different text:

• [http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]

You can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:

• http://url.for/some/image.png
