Wiki User Guide

This guide explains how to use the wiki, including formatting, uploading, and page management.

1. Page Creation & Naming

When creating a new page, use only letters, numbers, spaces, and hyphens. The system automatically converts the title into a safe URL format (for example, "My Page" becomes "my-page").

2. Text Formatting

  • Bold: <strong>Text</strong>
  • Italic: <em>Text</em>
  • Headings: == Heading 2 == or === Heading 3 ===. If you use three or more headings, a Table of Contents is generated automatically. You can hide it by typing `` anywhere on the page.
  • Internal Links: <a href="/mavica/wiki/page-name" class="wiki-link-red">Page Name</a> or <a href="/mavica/wiki/page-name" class="wiki-link-red">Custom Text</a>. Active links are blue, missing pages are red.
  • External Links: <a href="https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=woipkOAbIiycJY6R" target="_blank" class="wiki-link-blue">Display Text</a>

4. Redirects

To automatically forward one page to another, the first line of the text field must exactly be: REDIRECT: Target-Page-Name

5. Images & Files

You can upload .jpg, .png, and .gif files via the Upload File menu. The maximum file size is 10MB. To embed an uploaded image, use the File tag:

  • <div class="wiki-image-block" style="display:inline-block; max-width: 100%; "><img src="/mavica/wiki/wiki-img/photo.jpg" alt="" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" class="wiki-image"></div> (Full size)
  • <div class="wiki-image-block" style="display:inline-block; max-width: 100%; float:right; margin: 0 0 15px 20px;"><img src="/mavica/wiki/wiki-img/photo.jpg" alt="" width="200" style="max-width: 200px; height: auto;" class="wiki-image"></div> (Scaled to 200px wide, aligned right)
  • <div class="wiki-thumb" style="float:right; margin: 0 0 15px 20px; clear: right; width: 312px; max-width: 100%; background: #F8F8F8; border: 1px solid #000080; padding: 5px; box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="/mavica/wiki/wiki-img/photo.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/mavica/wiki/wiki-img/photo.jpg" alt="Your caption here" width="300" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto; border: 1px solid #000000; display: block; margin: 0 auto;"></a><div class="thumbcaption" style="font-size: 0.85em; color: #000; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0 5px; line-height: 1.4; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Your caption here</div></div> (Creates a thumbnail box with caption)

6. Tables

Tables use the classic wiki markup:


Model Year Resolution
FD-7 1997 640x480

7. Page History & Security

All changes are logged. Click History to inspect previous versions or compare edits. Important: To prevent vandalism, only the user who originally created a page (or a system administrator) is allowed to delete it or roll back changes.
