19 -**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
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.

21 -* Click **Edit** to enter the WYSIWYG editor.

23 -* Drag-and-drop or select your file to upload it instantly.
24 -* 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 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.

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

28 -1. In the editor, click the **"Insert Image"** icon from the toolbar.
29 -1. Upload or select the image.
30 -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.

35 35  
36 -The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
37 -
38 -* Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
39 -* You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
40 -* Example macros include:
41 -** /toc – Table of Contents
42 -** /box – Insert Box Macro
43 -** /gallery – Image Gallery
44 -** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
45 -** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets
46 -
47 -This shortcut dramatically speeds up editing, no need to memorize complicated wiki syntax.

25 +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.--
26 +1. This is now changed, too many malicious changes that are tedious to track without registration.
73 73  1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
74 74  1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
75 75  
76 -== **Content Guidelines** ==
30 +== Content Guidelines ==
77 77  
78 78  * 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.
79 79  * 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.
80 80  
81 -== **Directories and Page URLs** ==
35 +== XWiki Editing Modes ==
82 82  
83 -* 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.

92 -* **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.ξˆ†
93 -* **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.ξˆ†

97 -XWiki supports multiple syntaxes, including XWiki 2.1, MediaWiki, and others. While it’s possible to switch a page’s syntax, exercise caution, as certain syntaxes may not fully support WYSIWYG editing. For instance, changing a page to MediaWiki syntax might limit the availability of the WYSIWYG editor. ξˆ€citeξˆ‚turn0search6ξˆξˆ†
