23 -**Uploading Attachments:**
10 +If you would like to add content to the wiki, 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 what's being worked on currently. to see all the categories and pages we currently have, go here. [[image:1751108944598-521.png||height="353" width="734"]]
11 +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.

25 -* Click **Edit** to enter the WYSIWYG editor.
26 -* Click on the **Attachment** icon (πŸ“Ž 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.
13 +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 announcements widget on 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.

30 -=== Inserting Images with Enlargable Thumbnails ===
15 +== Useful Tips & Best Practices ==

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.
17 +**Macros** greatly simplify content formattingβ€”use / often.
18 +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.
19 +**Use minimal formatting** to ensure readability.

82 82  * 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.

While it’s possible to switch a page’s syntax, exercise caution, as certain syntaxes may not fully support WYSIWYG editing.
