Editing pages

Each page on the Memories of Stas Ionov site (Wiki) can be edited. You will need to create a login name with a password before you can edit. Editing is done by clicking on the "Edit" tab on the top or the "Edit" link of the section to be edited, then changing the content of the large editable text field and clicking on "Save page" button to save the changes. It is strongly recommended to click on the "Show preview" before saving a page.

Creating Links

To create an internal link, the page name is enclosed into double ractangular brackets. For external links only the URL can be given:

Internal link code to main page will look like this: [[Main_Page]]
An external link code will be: http://hrl.com/

The following notation is used to specify anchor text:

Internal -  [[Main_Page|Return to main page]]
External - [http://hrl.com/ HRL Laboratories]

The above links will look respectively as : Main_Page, http://hrl.com/, Return to main page and HRL Laboratories

Creating New Pages

To create a page simply create a link to it on the page that will be refering to it (the Main Page most likely for now) and click the link to add content to it. For instance, to create a page called Various Thoughts About Nothing, put a link on the Main Page to Various_Thoughts_About_Nothing save the change and click on the link.

Adding your images

To include images (e.g. photos), please click on the "Upload files" in the navigation bar (on the left) to first upload the images. Please think of a good name for your file and change it on your local computer before uploading it to Wiki. In this Wiki you will not be able to change the file name later! Furthermore, using a file name that already exists on Wiki will overwrite the file, please do not use simple file names like "stas1.jpg" for this reason and check the Special:Imagelist page to see that the name is not already in use. To include the image in a page, use a link in the form "[[Image:file.jpg]]".
