Second-line headers

Hey, I wanted to thank you again, Aruen, for your awesome work. You've done a ridiculous amount today! I just wanted to take the moment to remind you about headers. First-line headers (=TEXT=) are not typically used in an article; the CMS automatically uses this for the title of the article. Everything type we type should be second-line headers (==TEXT==) or lower. Thanks again!  Piroska . T C 12:38, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

I noted that you mentioned something about images in your user page. I'm hoping that I can help. Imagine, for a moment, that you want to put this image of my dwarf death knight somewhere in an article. The code to do this is [[File:Hajnal-animation.gif]]. This will place it in-line wherever you put the code. However, we can use the pipe divider ("|") to change different parameters:
This is Hajnal Guthhrafn
  • Say we want the image to the right side of the page: [[File:Hajnal-animation.gif|right]] -- bam!
  • If we want text to appear over the image when the mouse hovers over it: [[File:Hajnal-animation.gif|This is Hajnal Guthhrafn]]
  • And if we want both: [[File:Hajnal-animation.gif|right|This is Hajnal Guthhrafn]]
You can edit this page to see the code that I used in action. Hope that this helps!  Piroska . T C 13:25, 9 June 2010 (EDT)
Not a problem and my pleasure! Images can be uploaded to the wiki using this link. A link can also be found in the toolbox of the menu to the left of every page. Just select the image you want to upload, the name it will have on the wiki, and any comments that you want to add. Once an image is uploaded, it will have its own very special article under the File namespace. For example, my image for my dwarf is found on File:Hajnal-animation.gif. This is what I will use any time I want to insert the image into any article.
As a reminder (or helpful hint!) every user is given a sandbox. This is a page where you can edit and play around to test things that might otherwise mess up articles. For example, my sandbox is filled with the layout I was testing for the main page of the wiki and a template I'm thinking of implementing in the future. Hope that this helps!  Piroska .

Borrow, borrow, borrow! Take what you need and get rid of what you want; I was just dabbling with the idea of maybe applying it in the future.  Piroska . T C 18:56, 9 June 2010 (EDT)
