121 This page covers all the essential steps and tips you need to create great content in XWiki without any confusion.
122
123 == ==
124
125 == 📎 **Attachments and Images** ==
126
127 You can easily upload files and images directly from the WYSIWYG editor:
128
129 **Uploading Attachments:**
130
131 * Click **Edit** to enter the WYSIWYG editor.
132 * Click on the **Attachment** icon (📎 paperclip icon).
133 * Drag-and-drop or select your file to upload it instantly.
134 * Uploaded files will automatically be listed as attachments at the bottom of your page.
135
136 === **Inserting Images with Enlargable Thumbnails** ===
137
138 1. In the editor, click the **"Insert Image"** icon from the toolbar.
139 1. Upload or select the image.
140 1. Choose the **Thumbnail option** to create a clickable enlargable preview automatically.
141

143
144 == ⚡ **Using the / Macro Shortcut** ==
145
146 The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
147
148 * Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
149 * You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
150 * Example macros include:
151 ** /toc – Table of Contents
152 ** /box – Insert Box Macro
153 ** /gallery – Image Gallery
154 ** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
155 ** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets
156
157 This shortcut dramatically speeds up editing, no need to memorize complicated wiki syntax.
158

160
161 == ✏️** Basic Formatting and Links (Quick Guide)** ==
162
163 * **Bold text**: Select text, click the **Bold** button or press Ctrl + B.
164 * **Italic text**: Select text, click "Italic" in the toolbar or use Ctrl+I.
165 * **Creating Links**:
166 ** Highlight text and click **"Link"** or use shortcut Ctrl+K.
167 ** Paste or select the page URL to link internally.
168

170
171 == 🔍 **Useful Tips & Best Practices** ==
172
173 * **Save drafts frequently:** Press Ctrl+S regularly.
174 * **Macros** greatly simplify content formatting—use / often.
175 * **Edit attachments:** Hover attachments directly below your page in view mode to manage or delete them.
176 * **Use minimal formatting** to ensure readability.

180 = ⚡**Guests can contribute** =
181
182 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.
183 1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
184 1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
185
186 == **Content Guidelines** ==
187
188 * 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.
189 * 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.
190
191 == **Directories and Page URLs** ==
192
193 * The categories I have made up should cover most content, but if you feel your content doesn't fit under them, feel free to make a new category. Moving pages and reorganizing content in this wiki is very easy.
194
195
196
197 == **XWiki Editing Modes** ==
198
199 XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements:
200
201 * **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. citeturn0search0
202 * **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.
203 * **Inline Form Editing**: Used primarily for pages containing structured data or custom applications, this mode presents editable fields directly within the page view, streamlining data entry and updates.
204
205 == **Essential Formatting Options** ==
206
207 To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques:
208
209 * **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.
210
211 {{code}}
212 + Heading Level 1
213 ++ Heading Level 2
