== Howto Using ==# See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk Help desk]This site uses a customized theme which means that the links are in different areas. Specifically, the main links are in the left navigation column, while "special" links are at the top margin and bottom of each page. == Editing Information ==Adding or editing articles is very easy. There is a large volume of "help" information available at the main wikipedia site, so that effort is not reproduced here.

=== Images ===
<nowiki>[[Image:foo.jpg]]</nowiki> produces an image You must first upload the image. You can not embed external images, with the notable exception that you CAN use 1.5 million images available in the commons project.
<nowiki>[[Media:foo.pdf]]</nowiki> would produce a link to a pdf document, so
<nowiki>[[Media:Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf]]</nowiki> produces a link to http://freephile.com/wiki/images/6/6d/Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf
* [[mw:Help:Images]]
To get your image to float left or right, wrap the
<nowiki>{{#icon}}</nowiki> in a div with the appropriate class like so:
<nowiki><div class="floatright">{{#icon}}</div></nowiki> Although I modified the Icon extension to be able to specify a class in the icon tag itself, the extension now reveals some weaknesses that make me want to change to the LinkedImage extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkedImage
