These are notes we put together when beginning the wiki; they will be helpful if you want to edit articles or create new ones.

Finding articles
If you are looking for pages on a specific topic, type the topic into the search box on the left and click the Search button.
Editing articles
Click the "edit" tab at the top of the page, make your changes, use the "Show Preview" button at the bottom of the page to preview your changes. When you are through editing the page, click the "Save page" button.
Note: If there is no "edit" button at the top of the page, it means the page has been protected by the Administrator. If you feel a change to a protected page is needed, please email the Adminstrator.
Creating new articles
If you want to create a new page with a certain title, type the title into the search box and click the "Go" button. Articles can be written in either plain text or HTML. If your article contains links or images, follow the syntax below for Links and Images.
Using HTML in a Wiki
HTML in wikitext contains a list of HTML tags that are permitted in a Wiki.
Categories
Each new page you create must be assigned to a Category; place this at the bottom of the page:
[[Category:Access Databases]]
External Links
[http://www.actuallink.com link label]
Email address formatting
[mailto:email@email.com name]
Internal Links
[[page name]]
Or
[[page name| link label]]
Images
Check the list of all images already uploaded to the wiki
If you can't find what you're looking for, use the Upload file link to upload a new image.
To add an image to a page, use the "Embedded Image" Toolbar button
The syntax looks like this:
[[image:image.gif]]
To add alt text to an image:
[[image:image.gif| alt text]]
