Duckfluff:

== CREATING A HOME PAGE ON THE WIKI ==

Creating your own homepage on the wiki is very simple. I will give you a quick step by step tutorial with pictures to show you just how easy it is!

----

[[File:log.png|thumb|300px||left|click to enlarge]]
In order to add anything to the wiki, you first need to log in. The log in button is located on the left hand side of the window at the bottom.

[[File:log1.png|thumb|300px|left|click to enlargee]]
After you have clicked on the ''log in'' button, the wiki will take you to the log in page, where you will type in your username and password. And yes, my username is Duckfluff, please don't laugh.

[[File:edit.png|thumb|300px|left|click to enlarge]]
Once you are logged in, the wiki will take you to your userpage/homepage. You can also get to your userpage/homepage by clicking on the button "USER PAGE" at the top of the wiki, or on the left hand side at the bottom where it reads your username. To start editing your userpage, just click on the button at the top of the page that reads "''edit''". This will bring you to editing mode to change how your own userpage/homepage looks to everyone.

There are a couple of other links on the left that are interesting for people to know. For example, the '''"MY TALK"'''link brings you to a page where users can leave you messages. If someone does leave you a message, a little notification will show up on the page. You can also configure how you receive messages/notifications from people by clicking on the '''"MY PREFERENCES"''' link.
The '''MY WATCHLIST''' link lets you know which pages you are monitoring for changes, whereas the '''MY CONTRIBUTIONS''' link tells you everything you have contributed in the wiki so far.
You can also access other users' pages and talk pages, by clicking on their names in the history of a wiki page.

[[File:edit2.png|thumb|300px|left|click to enlarge]]
Hurrah! You are now in editing mode. This is where you will create your own homepage on the wiki.

[[File:Toolbar.png]]

So this is the tool bar which you see above. This will help you to add any cool effects to your page like '''bold''', ''italics'', [[underline]] etc.
They are, from left to right as follows:

[[File:Bold.png]] Writing bold

[[File:Italics.png]] Writing cursive

[[File:underline.png]] Writing underlined

[[File:Website.png]] Linking a Website

[[File:Headline.png]] Writing an Headline Text

[[File:Embed.png]] Embedding an Image

[[File:Link.png]] Linking a file

[[File:Formula.png]]Writing a formula

[[File:Ignore.png]] Ignoring the wiki specific preset lay outing rules

[[File:Signature.png]] Add a signature and a timestamp

[[File:Break.png]] Adding a line

[[File:Bottom.png]]

When you start editing your wiki, you can view the progress of it by clicking on the button at the button of the page. '''Save Page''' will save all current work you have done on the wiki page. '''Show Preview''' will show you a preview of what your wiki page will look like. '''Show changes''' will show you all of the changes you have made since your last edit. Summary lets you add a comment to the wiki. For example if you want to edit a Wiki that isn't yours, you have to include in the Summary what you have changed, and then click the box "This is a minor edit" to imply that you made a minor edit and to let the other users know what you changed, or "Watch this page" to let users know to keep viewing the page for further changes due to falsities or updates.

[[File:Redirect1.png|thumb|300px|left]]
If you want to change your username because you are embarrassed by it or don't like it anymore, you can redirect your homepage name. Let's assume I am embarrassed by my username Duckfluff (which lets be honest, is such a cool username). I would simply go to the SEARCH bar at the right hand top side of the wiki and write my full name down instead, which is Fiona Mortimer.

Once I have done this, the wiki will take me to this page, where you will click on the link that says "Create the page Fiona Mortimer on this wiki".

[[File:redirect.png|thumb|300px|left]]
The link will bring you to an editing page, where you will simply write in the formula #REDIRECT [[User:Duckfluff]]. This will create a re-direct link to your homepage and "change" your username to something else!

If you want to create a subpage in the wiki (this is basically a page within a page, like wiki inception!) the code to write that is this:

[[File:Newpage.png]]

The caption "newpage" doesn't have to be called newpage, you can name it whatever you want. The public will not see it, it is just for you to know.

The words "CLICK HERE" however, will be what the public will see, and when they click on it, they will be taken to a new subpage.

Like this: [[/newpage|Click Here]]

Cool, hey?

So those are the first few steps in creating your own homepage on the wiki. The next part is up to you! Play around with the wiki and try using different buttons to see what they do. Just hit the "Show Preview button" to see instant changes to your homepage. Happy Wiki-ing!

Editing the subpage is the same as editing your homepage. The link to edit is at the top of the page!

Also, you can continue to create subpages within your subpages. Try this out:

GMU:Tutorials/Documentation/Wiki Uploading

2016-07-06T19:16:11Z

Duckfluff:

== '''How to Upload Pictures to the Wiki''' ==

Uploading pictures to the Wiki is easier than you think. If you do happen to get many problems while uploading, it is probably not your fault. The system is quite buggy sometimes, so just keep trying until it works!

'''This wiki will cover:'''

-The first steps in finding where to upload your photos.

-How to upload your photos.

-How to embed photos on your page while editing.

-Changing the sizes of your photo and creating a thumbnail.

-Changing where your photo is on the page.

-Creating captions for your photos.

'''The first two tips''' I will give you when uploading pictures to the wiki is this:

Save your photos as '''.png''' files. The wiki has trouble reading jpeg files and 9 times out of 10, it will not upload the file. If you are receiving error messages that your photo can not be uploaded, check to make sure it isn't saved under anything other than png.

The second tip is to give your photo an easy file name to remember. This is because when you go post your photo in the wiki, you have to manually type the file name in. A file named "flower" is easier to remember than "flower182438405jfhu3498".

----

== '''WHERE TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS'''==

To begin putting pictures on the wiki, you first have to upload your photos. You should be logged in, otherwise you won't be able to upload anything.

[[Image:uploadfile.png|800px|thumb|left|Click to Enlarge]]

Go to the left side of your screen and look for the link that says "'''Upload File'''".

Click on this link.

The Wiki then will bring you to the Uploading Page for photos.

=='''HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS'''==

[[Image:uploadfile2.png|800px|thumb|right|Click to Enlarge]]

The next step here is very important. Do not upload any copyrighted material that you do not own!!! You will be held responsible, and your photo will be taken down from the wiki.

When uploading pictures, make sure to name your file appropriately and do not use special characters such as @$%^&, etc. These will not be recognized by the system. As stated before, name your file simply! Do not call it inappropriate things - this wiki is public and can be viewed by anyone!

Make sure to choose the proper copyright status and source. If you aren't sure what to choose, ask, or look it up! It's the internet - there are answers everywhere!

[[Image:uploadfile3.png|800px|thumb|left|Click to Enlarge]]

As you can see on the picture on the left, I have decided to upload the file named "''ducks''", because it is a very simple file name to remember.

I have also saved it as a '''png''' file.
Since I am the author of the photo, I hold copyright to the picture, so I have chosen the option of Copyright by Image Upholder.

If you don't know where your photo is from, I advise either to find the source so you can give credit, or do not use it! You are responsible if you are caught using something copyrighted that is not yours!

[[Image:ducksworked.png|400px|thumb|right|Click to Enlarge]]

If your picture was successful, then you should see something that looks like the picture on the left! Hurray!

[[Image:Errormessage.png|400px|thumb|left|Click to Enlarge]]

If you received an error message that looks like this, try resizing your photo before uploading it again. Sometimes the file sizes are too large for the Wiki to handle. Keep in mind you will have to change the name of the file.

Make sure the photo is a png!

=='''HOW TO EMBED PHOTOS ON THE WIKI PAGE'''==

[[Image:Discussion.png|400px|thumb|right|Click to Enlarge|]]
The next step is actually embedding the picture file you have into the wiki.
We will assume that you want to add a photo to your discussion. Click on the discussion button at the top of your wiki page. This will bring you to the editing page of your wiki.

The second arrow shows the "'''Embed Button'''" or "'''Embedded File'''".

Clicking on this button will produce the sentence: '''[ [File:Example.jpg] ]''' ''(minus the spaces between the brackets)''

This sentence is the key to your uploading photos!

Now remember how we named the photo we uploaded '''ducks''' and that it was a '''png''' file?

'''[ [File:Example.jpg] ]''' should now read '''[ [ File:ducks.png ] ]''' ''(except minus all the spaces. There are spaces because if I use the proper file name, the picture will appear instead of the example script I want to show! Look to the picture on the right to see what I mean!)''

Make sure you write the EXACT file name as it is. If you uploaded it with a capital "D" for "Ducks", make sure that file name has a capital "D" otherwise the Wiki will not read it.

If you do everything right, then you should have the fullsize picture of the ducks you uploaded:

[[File:ducks1.png|1000px]]

=='''HOW TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF YOUR PHOTOS'''==

So, now we are thinking, well, this is a little bit too big! That's simple to change! You can change the size of the picture by writing in how big you want it by adding the following instructions to our script:

[[File:ducks1.png|200px|thumb|left]]

'''[ [File:ducks.png|thumb|200px] ]''' ''(again, with no spaces)
''
The instructions '''thumb''' turn the picture into a thumbnail, whereas the '''200px''' tells the Wiki what size thumbnail to make the picture. Clicking on the thumbnail will also allow you to expand the picture.

It is also possible to change the size of the picture to 400px, 600px, 800px, etc.

[[File:ducks1.png|thumb|400px|left]]

''(with no spaces)'' As a size 400:'''[ [File:ducks.png|thumb|400px] ]'''

[[File:ducks1.png|thumb|600px|left]]

''(With no spaces)'' As a size 600: '''[ [File:ducks.png|thumb|600px] ]'''

== '''CHANGING PHOTO POSITION''' ==

Now it's also possible to change which side of the wiki you want your photo to be on. To do this, just add either the instructions "left" or "right" at the end of your script.

[[File:ducks1.png|thumb|200px|left]]
The picture will appear on the left.
''Write this with no spaces:'' [ [File:ducks.png|thumb|200px|'''left'''] ]

[[File:ducks1.png|thumb|200px|right]]
''Write this with no spaces:'' [ [File:ducks.png|thumb|200px|'''right'''] ]

The picture will appear on the right -----> yes, over there!

== '''ADDING A CAPTION TO YOUR PHOTO''' ==

[[File:ducks1.png|thumb|200px|left|two ducks sitting together]]

If you want to add a caption to your picture, just insert what you want written at the very end of your script:

''Write this with no spaces:'' [ [File:ducks.png|thumb|200px|left|'''two ducks'''] ]

'''How to Upload Pictures to the Wiki'''

Uploading pictures to the Wiki is easier than you think. If you do happen to get many problems while uploading, it is probably not your fault. The system is quite buggy sometimes, so just keep trying until it works!

The first two tips I will give you when uploading pictures to the wiki is this:

Save your photos as '''.png''' files. The wiki has trouble reading jpeg files and 9 times out of 10, it will not upload the file. If you are receiving error messages that your photo can not be uploaded, check to make sure it isn't saved under anything other than png.

The second tip is to give your photo an easy file name to remember. This is because when you go post your photo in the wiki, you have to manually type the file name in. A file named "flower" is easier to remember than "flower182438405jfhu3498".

----

To begin putting pictures on the wiki, you first have to upload your photos. You should be logged in, otherwise you won't be able to upload anything.

[[Image:uploadfile.png|800px|thumb|left|Click to Enlarge]]

Go to the left side of your screen and look for the link that says "'''Upload File'''".

Click on this link.

The Wiki then will bring you to the Uploading Page for photos.

[[Image:uploadfile2.png|800px|thumb|right|Click to Enlarge]]

The next step here is very important. Do not upload any copyrighted material that you do not own!!! You will be held responsible, and your photo will be taken down from the wiki.

When uploading pictures, make sure to name your file appropriately and do not use special characters such as @$%^&, etc. These will not be recognized by the system. As stated before, name your file simply! Do not call it inappropriate things - this wiki is public and can be viewed by anyone!

Make sure to choose the proper copyright status and source. If you aren't sure what to choose, ask, or look it up! It's the internet - there are answers everywhere!

[[Image:uploadfile3.png|800px|thumb|left|Click to Enlarge]]

As you can see on the picture on the left, I have decided to upload the file named "''ducks''", because it is a very simple file name to remember.

I have also saved it as a '''png''' file.
Since I am the author of the photo, I hold copyright to the picture, so I have chosen the option of Copyright by Image Upholder.

If you don't know where your photo is from, I advise either to find the source so you can give credit, or do not use it! You are responsible if you are caught using something copyrighted that is not yours!

[[Image:ducksworked.png|400px|thumb|right|Click to Enlarge]]

If your picture was successful, then you should see something that looks like the picture on the left! Hurray!

[[Image:Errormessage.png|400px|thumb|left|Click to Enlarge]]

If you received an error message that looks like this, try resizing your photo before uploading it again. Sometimes the file sizes are too large for the Wiki to handle. Keep in mind you will have to change the name of the file.

Make sure the photo is a png!

[[Image:Discussion.png|400px|thumb|right|Click to Enlarge|]]
The next step is actually embedding the picture file you have into the wiki.
We will assume that you want to add a photo to your discussion. Click on the discussion button at the top of your wiki page. This will bring you to the editing page of your wiki.

The second arrow shows the "'''Embed Button'''" or "'''Embedded File'''".

Clicking on this button will produce the sentence: '''[[File:Example.jpg]]'''

This sentence is the key to your uploading photos!

Now remember how we named the photo we uploaded '''ducks''' and that it was a '''png''' file?

'''[[File:Example.jpg]]''' should now read '''[ [ File:ducks.png ] ]''' (except minus all the spaces).

Make sure you write the EXACT file name as it is. If you uploaded it with a capital "D" for "Ducks", make sure that file name has a capital "D" otherwise the Wiki will not read it.

If you do everything right, then you should have the fullsize picture of the ducks you uploaded:

[[File:ducks.png]]

So, now we are thinking, well, this is a little bit too big! That's simple to change! You can change the size of the picture by writing in how big you want it.
