30 +{{example}}
31 +{{gallery}}

66 66  
67 -* **Save drafts frequently:** Press Ctrl+S regularly.
68 -* **Macros** greatly simplify content formatting—use / often.
69 -* **Edit attachments:** Hover attachments directly below your page in view mode to manage or delete them.
70 -* **Use minimal formatting** to ensure readability.
52 +{{expandable summary="📦 Box Macro (`/box`)"}}
53 +{{example}}
54 +{{box cssClass="highlight"}}

62 +== Info and Warning Boxes (`/info`, `/warning`) ==
75 75  
76 -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.
77 -1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
78 -1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
64 +{{expandable summary="⚠️ Info and Warning Macros (`/info`, `/warning`)"}}
65 +{{example}}
66 +{{info}}This is an info box.{{/info}}
79 79  
80 -== **Content Guidelines** ==
68 +{{warning}}This is a warning box.{{/warning}}
69 +{{/example}}
70 +{{/expandable}}
81 81  
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.
83 -* 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.

84 84  
85 -== **Directories and Page URLs** ==
74 +== Footnotes (`/footnote`, `/put footnotes`) ==
86 86  
87 -* 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.
