Images
Images need to be uploaded through the Upload File option in the left navigation page. For example I have uploaded a file called: CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg
This file can be embedded in a page using an internal file link:
[[File:CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg]]
This shows the image at original resolution, to resize use:
[[File:CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg|500px]]
Gives the following image:

Text formatting markup
You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two pairs of single quotes like ''this''
.
See table below for more wiki syntax

Any other start ends the list. |
Numbered list |
# Start each line # with a [[Wikipedia:Number_sign|number sign]] (#). ## More number signs gives deeper ### and deeper ### levels. # Line breaks<br />don't break levels. ### But jumping levels creates empty space. # Blank lines # end the list and start another. Any other start also ends the list. |

Preformatted textTemplate:Anchor | Start each line with a space. Text is '''preformatted''' and ''markups'' '''''can''''' be done |

Paragraphs
MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tags <br />
.
HTML tags
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>
, <div>
, <span>
and <font>
. These apply anywhere you insert them.
