Notes:
- ↑ Use of a heading created by single equal signs is discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.
- ↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
Paragraphs
MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.
HTML
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.
Links
You will often want to make clickable links to other pages.

Images
You will often want to make links different sizes, move them to different positions on the page, make them clickable links or give them captions.
Description | You type | You get |
Image appears on page In this example want to display the WikiVet logo, so insert file name Wikivet.png into the image code [[File:]]. Click "edit" on the page you want image on, then insert the code in desired location and click "save". File name must match exactly what appears in WikiVet Commons. The default size is as uploaded to WikiVet Commons, the default position is to the left. |
[[File:Wikivet.png]] | |
Change size of image can set width and height will adjust according to same ratio as uploaded. In this example, want to make image 50 pixels wide, so insert |50px into the image code |
[[File:Wikivet.png|50px]] | |
Change position of image Can change default position for image on the screen to left, center or right. In this example, have made aligned to the center by inserting |center into the image code. Can align to the left with |left and to the right with |right |
[[File:Wikivet.png|center]] | |
Make image into a thumbnail Can put box around image by inserting |thumb into the image code. Default position for thumbnails is to the right of the screen. |
[[File:Wikivet.png|thumb]] | |
Add captions to a thumbnail Can add a description or a link underneath a thumbnail image. In this example a simple description is entered - see Links section for different links you can display. To dispaly "WikiVet Logo" under the thumbnail, add |thumb|WikiVet Logo to the image code. |
[[File:Wikivet.png|thumb|WikiVet Logo]] | |
Make image a clickable link This uses the Imagemap extension which puts an information button on the bottom right corner linking to the image file. You add the file name after "Image:", you can also define size and position. Add link to page after "default" - this is the page that user will be taken to when they click the image. |
<imagemap> Image:Wikivet.png|50px|center |
