Help:Contents

Judopedia is based on MediaWiki software which is used on sites like Wikipedia. If you know how to edit on Wikipedia, then you know how to edit on Judopedia!

We will go over the very basics of editing here, but if you want to know more information, we recommend that you visit the Wikipedia Meta help page or the MediaWiki help page.

[edit] Basic Formatting

Text

''italic'', '''bold''', '''''bold & italic''''', <nowiki>''no wiki'' markup</nowiki>

italic, bold, bold & italic, ''no wiki'' markup

Paragraphs

The MediaWiki software ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <br />.

[edit] Lists

[edit] Images

Images need to exist on the Judopedia server before they can be used on this site. You can find images in a number of ways:

• List of new files
• List all files; This list also includes non-images
• Unused files
• Search for files

If you cannot find an image to show, you can upload one yourself by visiting the upload page.

For an example, lets use the File:Kodokan(andLaqua).jpg file.

[edit] Link to the image without displaying it

[[:Image:Kodokan(andLaqua).jpg]]
Image:Kodokan(andLaqua).jpg

[[:Image:Kodokan(andLaqua).jpg|This is an image link]]
This is an image link

[edit] Just the Image

[[image:Kodokan(andLaqua).jpg|300px|right|Description of picture]]

The options are divided by the vertical bar character |.

If no size is specified, then the largest size image available will be used. We recommend always using the image size you intend to use because someone can upload a newer version of the image which has a larger resolution.

The description here is what people will see when the image does not show or what a screen reader will read aloud. It is recommended to always input a description of the picture.

The option right tells it to float to the right. This means text will flow around it. You can also do this with left. Using the option center will center the image, but text will not flow around it. If you do not want the text to float around it, add the option none.

[edit] Thumbnail with caption

Description of picture

[[image:Kodokan(andLaqua).jpg|300px|Description of picture|thumb]]

By default the image will float to the right by default. You can change this by adding the option left or center.

The other options are the same as the example above.

[edit] Videos

Currently Judopedia uses YouTube to display videos. It is very easy to add YouTube videos using the <youtube> tag.

[edit] Example

[edit] Options

float

left, right (default: none)

format

hd, ntsc, pal (default: hd)

width

full, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, number value in pixels (default:300)

The fractions are based on the width of the content area which is 940 pixels wide.

height

number value in pixels (default: automatically generated based on the width and format)

For example:

<youtube format="ntsc" width="1/4" float="right">-S2avKeS2ug</youtube>

This will result in the video on the right.
