How Do I Link To Another Encyclopedia Page?

Like this:

It will work like this link: Datsun 1200


You can also give the link a custom label, like this:

It will work like this link: Custom Label

How Do I Link to a Web Page?

Like this:

Or, to be a little fancier:

Photos FAQs

How to make a click-able photo?

Like this:

[http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=4010 http://datsun1200.com/uploads/thumbs/4010.jpg]

When you preview the page, it will look like this:
4010.jpg
Try it: Click the photo!

How to size a photo to a specific size?

I recommend using the Thumbs in most cases, like this:

http://datsun1200.com/uploads/thumbs/4010.jpg

But sometime you may wish to use bigger pictures. You can use a resize photos like this:

<img size=240>http://datsun1200.com/uploads/photos/4010.jpg</img>

In this example, the width is specified as 240. You can make the width anything, from small thumbnails (width=80) to normal thumbnails (width=140) to small (about width=240) and medium (width=400) sizes.

Limit the width to 400 for this Wiki so that all users get a nice size page, even if using a mobile browser.

Here is the photo at 400 width:

NOTE: Don't forget to specify the full photo instead of the thumb or you'll get a poor display.

Category Pages

A category page is a table-of-contents page.

Generally you won't change these, instead add your information to a regular page or a new page (see how to create a new page below). However if needed you can modify the Category page to add subcategories.

Adding the "category" to a page will cause that page to automatically be listed on the category page.

Adding a Category to a page

Say you write a page "L-series Engine Swaps". Be sure to add the category to the bottom of the page:

[[Category:Engine Removal And Installation]]

This will list the page on the appropriate category page automatically and also provides a link at the bottom of the page to the category page. Now they are cross-linked and indexed.

Where Can I see a list of Categories?

The list of top-level Categories is here: Datsun 1200 encyclopedia.

New Pages

NOTE: Be sure to use the search button to see if your info already is in the encyclopedia somewhere. It is usually better to add your information to an existing article than to create new page/article.

How Do I Create a New Page?

In existing articles, you may see a "red link". This is a link to an article that hasn't been created yet. Click it and you will be prompted to create the new page. Type in the info you have, then click Save. You may wish to Preview it first.

To create a brand new page, see instructions here: Create New Page

Tables

Option 1: Paste an HTML table in. It is displayed as normal.

Option 2: Use a wiki table.
