- Upload file
- Files such as logos and photos can really liven up a wiki page. In order to add an image to a page it must first be uploaded by a logged-in user. Make sure to include in the summary where the file was taken from and why it is okay to share. Refer to wiki syntax in tour 2 on how to add a file into a wiki page.
- Special pages
- This is a set of special pages with unique functionality. The most frequently used of these are Recent Changes and Random Page, which have already been discussed above as a part of the the "useful links" menu.
Thanks for taking the first tour. Onward to the next!
