How do I embed a picture/image?

The wikitext syntax for displaying an image is:

[[File:filename.extension|options|caption]]

Here's an example with more common options filled in:

[[File:fatFredPatch.jpg | frame | 200px | center | Fat Fred Patch]]

Fat Fred Patch

Images can be tricky to place correctly. Best way is to experiment with the various options found 1n the MediaWiki Documentation on Images.

How do I create a table?

Tables are created using wikitext. Unfortunately, they can't be pasted in from documents or spreadsheets. The wikitext for a basic table is shown below. Basically every table starts with {| and ends with |}. Columns are defined using | and rows are defined using |-. Headers are added to columns by using ! as the delimiter instead of |.

{| class="wikitable"
!Opponent
!Score
!Notes
|-
|Denver Barbarians
|23-21
|At USAFA
|-
|CC
|12-0
|
|-
|BYU
|23-25 
|At BYU during Spring Break Trip
|}

For a complete explanation of tables, see the MediaWiki Documentation on Tables
