New page

===Editing a page===

Click either:
*Existing page: click the '''Edit''' link at the top
*Non-existing page: Follow the link to the non-existing page. It will take you straight to an edit page.

If you are adding a new page, we have [[Templates]] that you can use, so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You can also use the [[Sandbox]] to test out any changes that you want to make, if you are new to wikis.

After you complete your changes to the page, you can either preview or save the changes. Select "This is a minor edit" if it is something minor, like fixing a typographical error. When ready to save your changes, enter a summary, and press the Save Page button. Note: Unless you are adding a new page, or correcting a simple typo, be sure to enter a description of the edit in the '''Summary''' field. These show up in the change logs (including Recent Changes), making it easier for all users to see what's changed.

===Linking to a wiki page===
While editing a wiki page, put double square brackets around the text you wish to become a link. Example:

:'''<nowiki>[[Patio/Porch (2026)]]</nowiki>'''

will create a new link that will function like this:

:[[Patio/Porch (2026)]]

If you want to display a different phrase than the page name, you can use a pipe: |. The text before the pipe is the page name. The text after the pipe is the label for that particular link. For example:
:'''<nowiki>[[Patio/Porch (2026)|This show rocks!]]</nowiki>'''

will display like this, and link to Patio/Porch's 2026 performance:

:[[Patio/Porhc (2026)|This show rocks]]

If a linked page does not exist, the link will be colored red.

===Creating a new link to another website===
While editing a wiki page, put square brackets around the URL and the description text you wish to become a link. Example:

:'''<nowiki>[https://fhods-archive.co.uk FHODS Archive]</nowiki>'''

will create a new link that will function like this:

:[https://fhods-archive.co.uk FHODS Archive]

An alternative option would just be to write out the URL, creating an instant hyperlink.

:'''<nowiki>https://fhods-archive.co.uk</nowiki>'''

becomes:

:https://fhods-archive.co.uk

===Placing images===
To show an external image on the wiki, just type its URL. For instance, typing:

'''<nowiki>https://fhods-archive.co.uk/index.php/File:Patio-Porch_2026.jpg</nowiki>'''

will show the image:

https://fhods-archive.co.uk/index.php/File:Patio-Porch_2026.jpg

To display an image that's been uploaded to the wiki, type the following:

'''<nowiki>[[File:</nowiki>Type_filename_here.jpg]]'''

To make it display as a right-aligned thumbnail (as seen on song pages like [[Ana Ng]]), type this:

'''<nowiki>[[File:</nowiki>Type_filename_here.jpg|thumb|Type description of image here]]'''

Other options include '''|300px|''' (replacing 300 with what size you want the thumbnail to be), '''|left|''' (to align the image to the left), or '''|center|''' (to center the image).

===Formatting links as citations===
While editing a wiki page, you may use the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:ref|ref]]}} template to turn links into in-line citations. A numbered superscript will automatically be created. For example:

:'''This is a fact about They Might Be Giants<nowiki>{{</nowiki>ref|<nowiki>http://www.tmbg.com</nowiki>}}.'''
:'''This is a "quote from an interview or social media post."<nowiki>{{</nowiki>ref|<nowiki>https://tmbgareok.tumblr.com/</nowiki>}}'''

will appear with the following clickable citations:

:This is a fact about They Might Be Giants{{ref|http://www.tmbg.com}}.
:This is a "quote from an interview or social media post."{{ref|https://tmbgareok.tumblr.com/}}

=== Interwiki links ===
When linking to an external wiki, you don't need to enter it as an external link. Instead, you can enter two brackets and the name of the wiki. Then, enter the page name at the other wiki, and close the brackets. The link to the external wiki will automatically be created.

Currently, we support the following interwiki links:
*HRWiki
*Wikipedia
*Google (which is of course, not technically a wiki)
*YouTube (ditto)
*Vimeo
*Internet Movie Database

Examples: 
'''<nowiki>[[HRWiki:Main Page|Main Page at hrwiki.org]]</nowiki>''' results in [[HRWiki:Main Page|Main Page at hrwiki.org]].

For Wikipedia, please use the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Wp|Wp]]}} template: '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>wp|They Might Be Giants}}''' results in {{wp|They Might Be Giants}} and '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>wp|They Might Be Giants|TMBG rocks}}''' results in {{wp|They Might Be Giants|TMBG rocks}}.

Use the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:YouTube|YouTube]]}} and <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Vimeo|Vimeo]]}} templates with those site's video IDs. For example, these edits

:'''<nowiki>{{YouTube|v=mbIxIdM_0ho}}</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>{{Vimeo|VideoID=7725846}}</nowiki>'''

appear as the following clickable text:

:{{YouTube|v=mbIxIdM_0ho}}
:{{Vimeo|VideoID=7725846}}

To embed playable YouTube or Vimeo video thumbnails use <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:YouTube Thumb|YouTube Thumb]]}} or <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Vimeo Thumb|Vimeo Thumb]]}}.

For example, the YouTube video for [[Don't Let's Start]] is embedded this way below, with the v parameter indicating the YouTube video ID:

'''<nowiki>{{Template:YouTube Thumb|v=yT8cnAeWKZE|Don't Let's Start}}</nowiki>''' 

{{Template:YouTube Thumb|v=yT8cnAeWKZE|Don't Let's Start}}

The Vimeo-hosted video [[Triops Has Three Eyes]] is embedded using the clip_id parameter as below:

'''<nowiki>{{Vimeo Thumb|clip_id=7539824|Triops}}</nowiki>''' 

{{Vimeo Thumb|clip_id=7539824|Triops}}

IMDB links to titles using ''tt'' followed by the title code; for instance, '''<nowiki>[[imdb:tt0304081|Gigantic]]</nowiki>''' will link to <nowiki>"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0304081</nowiki>" and appear as [[imdb:tt0304081|Gigantic]].

===Redirecting===

If you ever need to change a page so that it redirects to another page, edit the page you want to redirect from, and use this command:
:'''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[targetpagename]]</nowiki>'''
Note - The command must start at the first character of the first line of the page.
