==Categories==

*A page can be added to one or more category by typing <code><nowiki>[[Category:Category name]]</nowiki></code>, for example <code><nowiki>[[Category:Teacher]]</nowiki></code>, at the bottom of the page.
*To ensure that pages in the Development namespace are listed in alphabetical order on a category page, the page name should be include in the category link i.e. <code><nowiki>[[Category:Developer|New page name]]</nowiki></code>.
*[[Special:Categories|Categories]] lists all Moodle Docs categories.
*To improve the browsing of Moodle Docs by category, please categorize category pages too. This will result in subcategories being created. For example, [[:Category:Capabilities]] is categorized as "Administrator" and "Roles", and appears as a subcategory in [[:Category:Administrator]] and [[:Category:Roles]].
*It is not necessary to categorize pages in a subcategory with the same category as the category page. For example, none of the pages in [[:Category:Capabilities]] need to be categorized as "Administrator" or "Roles".
*For further information about categories and how they work in MediaWiki, please refer to the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Categorization|Wikipedia:Categorization]].

==Pictures==
On this wiki we will have limited space, so will only allow the editor to upload pictures. These instructions will be for our more permenant WikiFON.

* You are encouraged to illustrate documentation with pictures.
* Pictures be GIF, JPEG or PNG format, with 72ppi resolution, and maximum width 800px.
* Pictures can be uploaded using the toolbox [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] link.
* Please name pictures descriptively to avoid confusion and duplicate names.
* To include the picture in an article, use a link in the form <code><nowiki>[[Image:Picture.png|thumb|alt text]]</nowiki></code>.
* Please do not apply effects such as borders, watermarks or drop shadows to pictures. This will allow others to add or replace pictures over time and still maintain a consistent look and feel to articles.
* For help on image placement and adding an image caption, please refer to the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial|Wikipedia Picture tutorial]].

==Templates==

* In MediaWiki, a template is a page which can be inserted into another page. For example, the WikiFON help block on this page is a template. Please be respectful when adding a template and if you don't know how to add one but see a need, contact Greg or Chris.
* A template may be added to a page by typing <code><nowiki>{{Name}}</nowiki></code> for Template:''Name''.
* [[Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=10|All pages (Template namespace)]] lists all Moodle Docs templates.
* Please refer to the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template MediaWiki Template help] for further information.
