I can't edit this page. I understand why though. I just wanted to add some things-

Categories- Categories are extremely helpful when searching for a specific term or finding out what pages haven't been written yet. As such, pages should be categorized while they are being written (and new categories made, if appropriate. To categorize a page [ [ category : name ] ] (without spaces) should be used at the bottom of the page. Pages can have multiple categories and categories themselves can be categorized to form sub categories.

Stubs- a stub is a page that is very short and that the author feels can be added to. To flag a page as a stub { { stub } } (without spaces) can be used at the bottom of the page.

Re-directing- sometimes pages are written twice under slightly different headings- for example 'Aspirations' and 'Wants and Fears' would be about the same thing. This is a common mistake however it makes navigating the site difficult. The pages might be about the same content but have different comments. The advisable thing to do would be to put unused points of one page into the other, and delete the content of the now obsolete page and programming it to re-direct so any existing links to that page are directed to the new one. The phrase for redirecting is #REDIRECT (space) [ [ pagename ] ] (without spaces) and hopefully the page will be re-directed.

• Spelling is not an optional extra.
• Deleting other people's hard work is not nice.

How to put pictures on pages First you need to upload an image- a fairly simple feat, which can be achieved by clicking on upload file in the bottom left hand corner of any page (in the toolbox). Once that is done. Copy the image name and go to the page where you want the picture to be.

The simplest way to get the picture there is to use the button at the top of the editing box that looks like a picture. Simply click on it, delete 'example.jpg' image and replace with the name of the picture you want to add. This will give you a large picture at the top center of the screen or section you are working on.

To place the picture to the right, add a caption and make it a thumbnail, place after the picture but before the ] ] |thumbnail|right|blah blah blah with me so far? If all has gone well, there should be a nicely formatted picture on the screen.
