Ryan C 7.1 155 == ⚡ **Using the / Macro Shortcut** ==
Ryan C 2.1 156
157 The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
158
159 * Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
160 * You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
161 * Example macros include:
Ryan C 4.1 162 ** /toc – Table of Contents
163 ** /box – Insert Box Macro
164 ** /gallery – Image Gallery
165 ** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
166 ** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets
Ryan C 2.1 167
168 This shortcut dramatically speeds up editing, no need to memorize complicated wiki syntax.

Ryan C 2.1 192
Ryan C 3.1 193 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.
Ryan C 2.1 194 1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
Ryan C 3.1 195 1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
Ryan C 2.1 196
Ryan C 7.1 197 == **Content Guidelines** ==
Ryan C 2.1 198
Ryan C 4.1 199 * 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.
Ryan C 2.1 200 * 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.
201
Ryan C 7.1 202 == **Directories and Page URLs** ==
Ryan C 2.1 203
Ryan C 3.1 204 * 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.

Ryan C 7.1 208 == **XWiki Editing Modes** ==
209
Ryan C 6.1 210 XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements:
211
Ryan C 7.1 212 * **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
213 * **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.
214 * **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.

Ryan C 7.1 216 == **Essential Formatting Options** ==
Ryan C 6.1 217
218 To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques:
219
Ryan C 7.1 220 * **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.
