Who can add pictures?
Any registered user can add pictures to the Multitool Encyclopedia. These pictures are then available in the galleries for browsing, or can be added to existing tool pages or used on new tool pages. Note that pictures of 500 to 800 pixels in width work the best. Use the photo software on your computer to shrink oversize pictures down to size. Microsoft Paint is entirely adequate for this.
Galleries
The Wiki software stores pictures in Image Galleries. You can browse through the Available Galleries by clicking the link on the
Home Page, or at any time by clicking the
Galleries link located along the left side of the page. Note that there are many different gallery titles, such as Al Mar, Buck, Leatherman, Manufacturer's Info, Victorinox, etc.
You are encouraged to upload any new pictures into the appropriate gallery. If a gallery does not yet exist, you can create it by first clicking
Galleries, then click the "create new gallery" link. (see more on creating new galleries below)
Uploading Images
In most cases though, the appropriate gallery already exists. To upload a new picture, simply click the
Upload Image link along the left side of the page. You should then see a screen that looks like this:
Note that there are many blank fields on this screen, but you only need to fill in three of them (Image Description field is optional) then click the upload button.
Image code line
"Okay, I've uploaded my picture, so now what?" After uploading your image, there will be an UPLOAD SUCCESSFUL! announcement, along with an image of the new picture. At the very bottom of the page there will also be a line of code that looks something like this:
Using Gallery Images in your Wiki pages
There are many different ways you can manipulate pictures on your Wiki page. The picture can be centered, or it can be located at the far left or the far right. The picture can be adjusted smaller to better fit the layout of the page. It can also contain a link, which could either lead to a full-size image of the picture, or to another page in the Wiki. All of this is done using the image code described above. Here are several examples:
How do I edit pages?
You need to login to the wiki. Look for the edit icon on the top right of each page, or the "edit" button on the bottom left of each page. Please add any information you may have, or correct information if you find it to be in error.
How do I create a new page?
You can do it two ways. First, any line you see a question mark behind a word, you can click that and will be taken to the new page editor. Second, to create a new page, add in a name in the 'Quick Edit' box and click edit. You are
strongly encouraged to go to the
Sandbox first. This a great area to practice.
Why do I see 'Permission Denied'?
Most likely you are not a registered user. But you can become one very easily! Just click on the link on the right to create a new account. You will be verified soon and will be able to create or edit pages.
What commands (syntax) does Tiki Wiki use?
Check out
this page on TikiWiki's home site for a good run down of the syntax used. You can also click on the 'Quicktags' link on the left when editing or creating a new page. Note that you are STRONGLY encouraged to use the
Sandbox to practice and make sure you understand how everything works.
