11 -== Getting Started with XWiki ==
12 -If you would like to add content to the wiki, you can do so as a guest, but some of your options will be limited. its recommended to create an account and post that way. If you want to contribute but dont know where to start or you're overwhelmed by the options, the global dashboard will always be updated with whats being worked on currently. to see all the categories and pages we currently have, go here. IMAGE
13 -Adding content should be relegated to these main categories, or new ones that you want to create. You shouldn't need to edit any pages outside of it for the most part, they may be linked elsewhere as resources for you, but they wont be editable. If you just have some pictures you would like to add to a topic, attach them at the bottom of the page and they will be automatically included in the gallery on the page if it has one. Changes or content added can always be revised to an earlier version easily, so don't be concerned with unwanted additions or edits. You can use the sandbox to experiment with formatting.
17 +---
14 14  
15 -On top of the category content, there are also applications that allow you to take part in the wiki via many other avenues. There is a forum, AI is in the works, Ideas, Suggestions for improvements, A Visualizer, Music Library, Research Papers collection, and many other things, as well as new extensions being added often. The message of the day will alert you to some of the things ive been working on or have finished recently. If you would like to have your Pro White group listed here let me know and I'll add it so others can join with you and network. This has thus far been mostly a solo undertaking, so I apologize if things break for extended times, I assure you I'm working on them when I can, but I have other things to attend to as well. There is typically daily changes and updates being made.
19 +## 📎 Attachments and Images
16 16  
17 -== 🔍 **Useful Tips & Best Practices** ==
21 +You can easily upload files and images directly from the WYSIWYG editor:
18 18  
19 -* **Macros** greatly simplify content formatting—use / often.
20 -When to insert an image rather than upload the image: Upload the image at the bottom of the page via the built in extension if you just want to post the image without context. This is always acceptable on any page given that it is relevant. Embed an image when you are adding context to it or using it to reinforce some context already present. Same with videos.
21 -* **Use minimal formatting** to ensure readability.
23 +**Uploading Attachments:**
22 22  
23 -----
25 +* Click **Edit** to enter the WYSIWYG editor.
26 +* Click on the **Attachment** icon (📎 paperclip icon).
27 +* Drag-and-drop or select your file to upload it instantly.
28 +* Uploaded files will automatically be listed as attachments at the bottom of your page.

30 +### Inserting Images with Enlargable Thumbnails
26 26  
27 -1. Guests can edit pages in the main content area without signing up. If this becomes problematic I'll change it but for now I'd like everyone to have access with as little trouble as possible.
28 -1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
29 -1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
32 +1. In the editor, click the **"Insert Image"** icon from the toolbar.
33 +1. Upload or select the image.
34 +1. Choose the **Thumbnail option** to create a clickable enlargable preview automatically.
30 30  
31 -== **Content Guidelines** ==
36 +---
32 32  
33 -* Ensure your content is well-researched, you don't need to include references in the format of footnotes for your material, but you should try to include studies or links to give credibility to your claims. For instance, just claiming that [[IQ is genetic>>doc:Main Categories.Science & Research.Race & IQ.WebHome]] is genetic wouldn't be valid unless you provide a study backing up that assertion, or more likely link to a page within this site that explains why IQ is not something that is purely determined by environmental factors. If such a page doesn't exist, create it, and start providing studies that show this.
34 -* Use clear, concise language and avoid using slurs, slang, or troll like language. This isn't supposed to be encyclopedia dramatica, I'd like things to remain relatively mature and well thought out.

37 -== **XWiki Editing Modes** ==
38 -
39 -XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements:
40 -
41 -* **WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor**: Ideal for users unfamiliar with wiki syntax, this editor provides a user-friendly interface resembling traditional word processors. It allows for straightforward text formatting, image insertion, and link creation without delving into markup language.
42 -* **Wiki Editor**: This mode enables direct editing using XWiki’s markup syntax. It’s suitable for users comfortable with wiki syntax and those requiring precise control over the content structure.
43 -
44 -== **Essential Formatting Options** ==
45 -
46 -To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques:
47 -
48 -* **Headings**: Organize content hierarchically using headings. In XWiki syntax, headings are defined by one to six plus signs (+), corresponding to heading levels 1 to 6.4
49 -
50 -{{code}}
51 - + Heading Level 1
52 - ++ Heading Level 2
53 - +++ Heading Level 3
54 -{{/code}}

65 -
66 -
67 -==== **External Link**: Provide the URL directly. ====
68 -{{example}}
69 -[https://www.example.com]
70 -{{/example}}
71 -
72 -
73 -== ⚡ **Using the / Macro Shortcut** ==
74 -
75 75  The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
76 76  
77 77  * Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
78 78  * You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
79 79  * Example macros include:
80 -** /toc – Table of Contents
81 -** /box – Insert Box Macro
82 -** /gallery – Image Gallery
83 -** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
84 -** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets
45 + * /toc – Table of Contents
46 + * /box – Insert Box Macro
47 + * /gallery – Image Gallery
48 + * /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
49 + * /code – Code blocks for programming snippets
