To create a sub-section heading place text within three equals signs.
To create a sub-sub-section heading place text within four equals signs.
To create a contents box at the top of the page do nothing - if the page merits a contents box it will generate one automatically (hint: the generation depends on the number of section headings on the page)
[edit] Displaying Pictures
To display a picture there are a lot of elements to concern yourself with, but none are really challenging.
The basic way to display a picture is to open two brackets, type "Image:", enter the page name of the picture (include the file extension), close two brackets. Example:
To display a thumbnail of the picture, after the file extension enter a vertical line followed by the word "thumb".
To display a frame around the picture, after the file extension enter a vertical line followed by the word "frame".
To display the picture on the right side of the page, after the file extention or the word "frame" or "thumb" enter a vertical line followed by the word "right". You can also use "left" or "center" to place the image in one of those locations relative to the margins.
To display text in the box beneath the picture you must use either the "frame" or "thumb" formatting command. To display text in the box beneath the picture, after the last text inside the brackets enter a vertical line followed by the text of your choosing.
The correct sequence of formatting commands should be: file name, thumb or frame, location relative to margin, description.
[edit] Uploading Pictures
To upload a picture first follow all the steps for displaying a picture, then click on the hyperlink it generates in the page preview screen. An upload page will load. The upload page is self-explanatory.
[edit] Creating Tables
To create a table your best bet is to copy and paste one from another page at WikiWarlord.com or to use the User's Guide. Tables are tricky and there is a learning curve involved with them. Be patient.
[edit] Creating Redirects
To create a redirect enter the pound sign immediately followed by the word "REDIRECT", then enter a space, then enter the page name within two brackets. Example:
![[Main Page]](/skins/common/images/wiki.png)
