Purpose

This is a page for me to learn how to use the Wiki. I'm starting from scratch and would welcome input from others (its a community/social program after all!) I normally work by myself, originating, designing, purchasing, manufacturing, installing, testing and commissioning. However, in Hackspace, other people are involved. I may never meet some, but they can be affected by my actions. By using the Wiki, I should be able to inform and communicate with any interested persons.

Adding files

How do I get pictures in? A picture can save a thousand words and I expect to insert a few in each page. Methods tried so far:-

This is a 'Dropbox' link that can be opened in a new window.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/amkfhv0w8ullmj6/2015-06-14%2005.25.46.jpg?dl=0

Copy (from my computer) & paste doesn't work.

I can't see how to add/append a file. I can pull the examples in, but where from? How do I control the way pics are displayed/limited/expanded?

The files point to mediawiki.org, but there is no info on how to load to this.

I see some media files below the Projects page. Is this where pics go?

I have found the Mediawiki help files!!

Tables

Sorting information is next. Tables are useful for grouping & relating items.

Simple paragraphs can also do the job.
