Category Tips

To create a fresh "New" Category type it into the Browser Address bar.
Example: http://wiki.ledhed.net/index.php/Category:Animals
Where "Animals" is the name of the new Category.

If it is in fact a new category, "Edit" the category and add text and such to it.

• Categories are not a Tree Hierarchy!
• Only Categories can be Sub-Categories.

To categorize an article you must add this to the end of the page.

[[Category:NameOfCategory]]

where NameOfCategory is the name of the Category you want to associate the artical with.

To associate a Category as a Sub-Category of another Category you must add this to the end of the page.

[[Category:NameOfCategory]]

where NameOfCategory is the name of the Category you want to become a Sub-Category of.

To create a link to a Category use this format:
[[:Category:Foo]]
will appear as Category:Foo

Notice the colon (:) before the word Category!!

or

[[:Category:Foo|Foo]] will appear as Foo

Notice the colon (:) before the word Category and the Pipe (|) between the 2 Foo's!!
The Foo after the Pipe is the Title (which can be anything you want not just the Category Title
Example: [[:Category:Foo|Anything You Want Here]] looks like Anything You Want Here but still links to the 'Foo' Category

Confused Yet?  :)

Renaming

Use the Move tab to rename a Page or Category. Moving a page/category will cause the original to be redirected.

You may need to delete the original if the redirect is no longer needed.

Editing Tips

• <br> = Break or New Line
• Use <nowiki></nowiki> tags to ignore wiki formatting
  

There is also an Icon for this at the top of the editor.

• Use a * (Asterisk) at the beginning of a line to create a bullet

Creating Tables

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Header 1 !!Header 2 !!Header 3
|-
| something || something else || something else else
|-
|}

Header_1	Header_2	Header_3
something	something else	something else else

Start/Open the Table

{| class="wikitable"

Create Headers

First Header:

!Header_1

NOTE: The single bang (!)

Subsequent Headers:

!!Header_2

NOTE: The double bang (!!)

Column Dividers

First Column Divider:
|
NOTE: The single pipe (|)

Subsequent Column Dividers:
||
NOTE: The double pipe (||)

Row Dividers

This will create a new Row divider (Top or Bottom):
|-

End/Close the Table

|}
