Basic Wiki Syntax
Linking
This section is a placeholder. This means it is incomplete and in need of further elaboration.
We will update this as time permits.
Internal Links
Linking to a section of an article
Use the following format to link to a particular section of an article.
[[Article Name#Section Name]].
Example: Help:Syntax#Linking_to_a_section_of_an_article
Linking to a category
To link to a category, as opposed to including an article in a category, use a colon at the beginning of the link.
e.g. [[:Category:Category Name]]
Linking to an image
To link to an image, as opposed to displaying the image, use a colon at the beginning of the link.
e.g. [[:Image:Image_name.jpg]]

Footnotes
There are many different methods for citing sources and annotating documents. One method that is often apropriate is the use of footnotes. The easiest way to add footnotes is to use the Cite.php syntax which is very simple:
- <ref>text of note</ref> at the in-text place where you would like the footnote link to appear.
- (Only needed once per article) <references/> in the section where the footnotes should appear. If you omit this, the footnotes will not be displayed.
Example
According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>Miller, E: "The Sun.", page 23. Academic Press, 2005</ref>
The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref>Smith, R: "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46(78):46</ref>
