Feel free to add solutions as you find them.
For formatting help, here is the Cheat Page from Wikipedia. I don't know if it all applies to these pages, but most of it should.
Contents
Google Maps usage
Click on the "make a map" link on any edit page and use the interface to find the spot you want. The page will load with the map preset to that location.
YouTube integration
You can embed any video on YouTube into this wiki. Here's how you do it.
- Find a video on YouTube and copy down its YouTube ID. This can be found in the address bar. and looks something like ii8wMv3k1XQ.
- Go to the spot on the page you would like to add the embedded video to and type "<youtube v="ii8wMv3k1XQ" />", replacing the ii8wMv3k1XQ with the YouTube ID you found.
For an example in working, visit the Galesburg Backyard Wrestling page. Click edit if you would like to see how the video was placed.
Creating a table of contents on a page
The table of contents will be automatically created once there are four or more sections on the page. A section of created by using the "=" character as follows:
- == headline == will create a main section.
- === subheadline == will create a subsection.
- ==== sub-subheadline === will create a subsection within that subsection.
For an example, click edit on this page and see how the different sections were created.
Creating links
There are two kinds of links in The Wiki Fire, internal links and external links. A wiki depends on tagging as many internal links as possible, so this is important.
To create an internal link, put the word you would like to link in brackets as follows.
Type: [The Wiki Fire]
Get: The Wiki Fire
To create an external link, put the entire URL, including the http:// into one set of brackets. This style can also be used for citing sources.
Type: [http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/ Big Muddy Records]
Get: Big Muddy Records
Type: There are five bands on this label.[http://www.bigmuddyrecords.org/]
Get: There are five bands on this label.[1]
There are also buttons above the editing window you can use if you forget how to link.
