easy way to create a page for myself

1. Create a log-in for the site. (upper right corner of any page)
2. After verifying your email address, log into the site and click on your user-name. (top lineThe military type of organization form whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of command. Orders pass from top management down the line of command and compliances and data pass on up without by-passing the chain of command. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) of any page)
3. Select "edit this page" and type a short bit about yourself
4. Put [[Category:People]] after the text you just wrote.
5. "SAVE" the page.
6. Now click "Edit with form" tab and you will be given a Form to add more info about yourself. (you don't have to fill in every field, just do as many as you want to get started)
7. "SAVE" the page
8. Done...you can find your page anytime you log into the site, along the top edge of any page and edit and add more to it at any time.

Note: you can subsitute "Auditors" for "Paople" in the Category above and your page will be in the "Auditors" Category instead of the general "People" Category...something that can also be changed easily later if you contact Support.

how can I make my pages look better

Watch the short tutorial on creating a page...which explains the 'text editor' built into every page

how do I add pictures to my page

• choose 'upload file' from the Toolbox in the left hand 'sidebar'
• after uploading your file/picture, make note of the file-name or use 'copy & paste' method.
• go to your page and 'paste' the file-name onto your page where you want the picture.

me, bungee-jumping - weeee!!!

• add the brackets and other elements like this [[File:yourimage.jpg|left]] (you can substitute "center" or "right" to move the pics location)- (NOTE: the "|" vertical separator between the end of the file-name and the word "left". It's called a "pipe" symbol...& on your keyboard)
• THUMBNAIL: use the elements as above but add "thumb" like this:

[[File:yourimage.jpg|thumb|left]]

• CAPTION: use the elements as above but add a caption under the pic like this: [[File:yourimage.jpg|thumb|left|me, bungee-jumping - weeee!!!]]
• click 'show preview' to make sure it looks right
• SAVE the page.

Pictures in the Infobox

• You should always put a picture in the Infobox if the field is there. (not all pages call for a picture in the Infobox)
• If you don't want a picture of yourself, chose any image you like and upload it.
• Any picture uploaded to an Infobox will automatically be converted to a small size to fit nicely in the Infobox.
• You can also use the same pic in the main body of the page by copying the file name, inserting it in the main text area and following the instructions for adding a picture to the page as above.

how do I add video to my page

• Quick tip to add video to your page.(video tutorial and more elaborate instructions coming soon)

1. Put the following code on your page where you want the video to play. <videoflash>your Youtube code|400|300</videoflash>
2. The "your Youtube code" is everything after the "=" sign on your Youtube video page. (it's in the top navigation bar of the Youtube webpage) e.g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye032xYnKZc (the last part after the "=" sign is what you will put into the player.
3. Copy-and-paste that Youtube code into the videoflash code you just put on your page. (in place of the "your Youtube code") e.g. <videoflash>Ye032xYnKZc|400|300</videoflash> (notice the "|" 'pipe's' or vertical separators used)
4. The numbers "400" and "300" represent the dimensions of the player. (you can experiment with changing those numbers to vary the size of the video on your page.
5. Be sure to save your page & enjoy the video. (popcorn optional)

how do I add References to pages

There are built-in systems for creating references and links to other sources of information in an article. This is very helpful to readers and should be done as much as possible...that's part of the benefit of using a wiki.

link to another page within this wiki

1. enclose the exact page name in double square brackets "[[" & "]]"
2. "I am a big fan of L Ron Hubbard."...is written like this - I am a big fan of [[L Ron Hubbard]].

link to external web page

Two options:

A. enclose the link in single square brackets and a blue numbering system appears next to the last word before the link.

• e.g. "On the subject of egg timers [1], I have no opinion." Looks like this when you write it - On the subject of egg timers [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/egg+timers], I have no opinion.

B. Highlight the word or phrase you want to link like this:

• "On the subject of egg timers, I have no opinion." Looks like this when you write it - On the subject of [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/egg+timers egg timers], I have no opinion. (notice the space before inserting the words egg timers)

cite references by number

1. At the point in the sentence where you want to put a reference, use the "<ref> - </ref>" tags. (beginning and end of the reference)
2. e.g. In the sentence "Joe Blow was a fine fellow". To link to more information about Joe Blow you would write - "Joe Blow <ref>[http://joeblow.com Joe Blow]</ref> was a fine fellow." Notice the square brackets on each side of the link and a short word or two (Joe Blow) about the link is inserted as well.
3. Then add a "headline" at the bottom of your page. e..g. = notes =
4. Then place the following after the Headline "notes" - <references />
5. To see an example of this, go to this page see the references (numbers highlighted in blue) and "view source" or "edit with tab" and look at the code in use there.
6. See the Cite Extension in use on this site.

What are "Admin Edits"?

• Admin Edits are edits to your Article or Page to correct or improve the layout or look of the page. It is important the site maintains a consistent look and so admins try to improve the layout of pages to help that. Admins do not alter content except in cases of grammatical or spelling corrections or to remove offensive content or content that otherwise violates the policy's of this site.
• The adminA contraction or shortening of the word administration, admin is used as a noun to denote the actions involved in administrating an organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). edits are also intended as instructional aids to the authors of articles so they can learn various wiki techniques to improve their articles.

infobox needs more info

• Since this site is new, the data gathered in the infobox's is evolving. Your help is needed to improve the choices listed on the Forms inputs. Please postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) your suggestions on the Discussion page here, on the Technical Support Page or by clicking my username and the Discussion page there.
