Here is a list of the most commonly used wiki commands:
----
*Almost EVERYTHING is case sensitive
===Links===


'''Internal Link''' - <nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki>  Looks like this [[page name]]
For screenshots we will currently use a place holder as the GUI may change slightly. If you wish to insert a screenshot, type '''<nowiki>{{Screenshot}}</nowiki>'''. This will insert a placeholder and add the page to a category where we can easily track and see a list of all pages requiring screenshots.
* this is case sensitive
 
 
'''External link''' - <nowiki>[http://www.dsc.com]</nowiki> Looks like this [http://www.dsc.com]
 
Also, If you just type the URL, the wiki will automatically make it in to a link: http://www.dsc.com
 
 
'''Internal/external Link (with different text)''' – <nowiki>[[page name|text]]</nowiki> Looks like this [[pagename|text]]
or <nowiki>[http://www.dsc.com|DSC Homepage]</nowiki> Looks like this [http://www.dsc.com|DSC Homepage]
*not sure why DSC isn't showing up...I'm checking that.
 
 
'''Create a Redirect page''' - <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[pagename]]</nowiki>
*No text may precede this
 
 
'''You can also redirect or link to a section of a page like this:'''
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[pagename#sectionname]]</nowiki>
 
or <nowiki>[[Help#Images|Images]]</nowiki> Which will look like this [[Help#Images|Images]]
 
 
===Images===
 
'''To just embed an image''' – <nowiki>[[Image:picturename.jpg]]</nowiki>
 
will display [[Image:logo.jpg]]
 
 
There are other modifiers you may use as well to make the image smaller/bigger, make it a thumbnail, frame it, caption it, etc.
 
 
'''Most commonly used is to make the image a smaller thumbnail, right justified and add a caption:'''
 
[[image:logo.jpg|300px|thumb|right|CAPTION]]
<nowiki>[[image:logo.jpg|300px|thumb|right|CAPTION]]</nowiki> which will display
*Note all parameters are lower case.
*300px is the standard thumbnail size for now
 
 
'''Other parameters include:'''
 
 
frame – put a frame around an image (thumb already does this; a caption will only be visible if frame or thumb are used)
 
 
300px – makes the image 300 pixels wide, to scale (this can be used with any value, but the wiki will only shrink images, you cannot enlarge them).
 
 
right/left/center – changes the image justification
 
 
===Sections===
 
 
The page will automatically create a table of contents once there is more than three sections on the page.  
 
 
'''To create a subsection''' -  <nowiki>== section name ==</nowiki>
 
'''To create a Sub-subsection''' - <nowiki>===section name===</nowiki>        and so on…
 
== Section ==
===subsection===
====sub-subsection====
