Editing

This website uses MediaWiki software, which enables anyone to create and edit web pages. Many tutorials are available such as Wikipedia's How to Edit a Page. The following is a quick guide to some basic techniques especially useful for this web site.

Using Headings

The main content can be organized using headings, such as:

==put heading here== 
===put subheading here===

A table of contents will automatically be generated at the top if there are four or more headings.

External Links

External links are created with the use of

• Just the url if you want that to appear in the wiki
• Or single brackets (and a number will appear to click upon)
• Or single brackets with a "piped" text name after it

http://www.external_link.com
or
[http://www.external_link_here.com]
or
[http://www.external_link_here.com External Link]

Uploading and Displaying Images

Any user who has logged in may upload images. Just click on "upload file" at the very bottom of the page.

Then, to display the image on this site, write the following line with the desired image name, size, and caption:

[[image:sampleimage.jpg|left|thumb|250px|sample caption]]

Finally, you can also display a photo gallery of many images, using the <gallery></gallery> tags:

<gallery>
Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
</gallery>

Displaying an Address

As already illustrated in this tutorial, you can also display text in a box without any formatting by using the <pre></pre> tags. This is especially useful for displaying an inmate's mailing address:

Joe Inmate J-34558
San Quintin State Prison
San Quentin, CA  94964
