Profile Edit Links: use these links below Edit Text when in edit mode:

- to bold text; select text and click on symbol - to italicize text; select text and click on symbol - Link to Another Person Profile - link to an URL - creates a level 3 headline - cancels Wiki formatting for display purposes - inserts a horizontal line

Image:Wales Project Training Program Categorization.png

- Categorize by Location - creates an inline citation

Acknowledgements: - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Acknowledgements

You may wish to include an == Acknowledgements == section at the end of the profile – See Order For Sections/Headings. There are generally two reasons to do this:

First, if the research you are adding is built on the work of someone else. For example, you may be citing primary sources such as census records but those sources may have been originally found by a family member or another genealogist and you want to give them credit for their work.

Second, if a significant amount of work was done by a WikiTree member other than yourself and you feel that the depth and importance of their contributions may be overlooked in the changes feed.

Acknowledgements are not formal requirements. They are special thank-yous.

Miscl Format:

Back To Button (Sample): <center><div class="button small">Back to [[Project:Cemeterist|Cemeterist Project]]</div></center>

Back to Cemeterist Project

[[#top|Go to top]] - displays as "Go to top"

[[#(insert heading title)|Return to (insert heading title)]] - displays as "Return to (heading)"

example: [[#Resources|Return to Resources]]

Text Coding

Colored Background for Text Box: Coding is from HTML color codes - HTML Color Codes. Some colors may not be true. Sample code when creating a text box:

Enter 2 Open Braces followed by a color name; followed by a pipe; enter the text; close with 2 Closed Braces.

ex: {{Blue|(text)}} – (text)

Options: Green, Gray, Red, Yellow

Sample: <font size="5"><center>'''{{Red|THE NEW WALES BUILDINGS OF INTEREST PAGE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT'''}}</center></font> displays as:

Space Pages

Create a Free Space Page:

Go to https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?action=newspace (copy and paste link)

IMPORTANT: IGNORE LINKS IN ITEM 3 – to-do list, family reunion, family mysteries page, one name study, or WikiTree project – AND CHANGE TO NAME TO THE ONE YOU WANT (Do Not Use Hyphens or other punctuation marks)

- Enter Title – this can't be changed later – This title will become part of the space page’s URL. In the following example, the URL will be - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/ - followed by Space:(and the title used with underlines between the words.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Awbrey_Family_Members_in_the_Revolutionary_War

Create Link to Free Space Page:

Best method: Assumes category page or person profile exists first: - code in [[Space:(key in category page name such as "Christ College, Brecon" or profile name-nr)]] without parens or quotes. Ex: Space:Christ College, Brecon. - Save the category page or profile – the link will appear in red indicating the free space page does not exist. - Click on the red link and the free space page will appear with the Title filled and the correct URL - Complete any relevant boxes and click on Create This New Profile. No need to enter any info into the Text/Description box.

Examples: Abercynrig Category page is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Abercynrig%2C_Wales

Abercynrig free space page is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Abercynrig%2C_Wales

Coding to link Category page to free space page is NOTE: A more complete history and description of Abercynrig can be read at the Abercynrig, Wales source page.

Rename Space Pages:

Best way to avoid losing text content is to create a new page and then merge in the old one.

Merge Space Pages:

It is not preferred to delete space pages, rather merge them (see delete below). To merge, go to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:MergeSpace Merge Free-Space Profiles.

Delete Space Pages:

It is almost never appropriate to delete a space page, it can be done. To delete, go to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Delete Delete Profiles.

Discord

Discord Help Center

Discord Support - Markdown Text:

- Italics - *italics* or _italics_

- Bold - **bold**

= Bold Italics' - ***bold italics***

- Underline __underline__

- Underline italics __*underline italics*__

- Underline bold __**underline bold**__

- underline bold italics __***underline bold italics***__

- Strikethrough ~~Strikethrough~~

- Horizontal Line - use three or more asterisks (***), dashes (---), or underscores (___) with a blank line above and below

- Links: To create a link, enclose the link text in brackets (e.g., [Duck Duck Go]) and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g., (https://duckduckgo.com)).

"My favorite search engine is [Duck Duck Go](https://duckduckgo.com)." appears as: My favorite search engine is Duck Duck Go.

URLs and Email Addresses - to quickly turn a URL or email address into a link, enclose it in angle brackets.

<https://www.markdownguide.org>

<fake@example.com>

The rendered output looks like this:

https://www.markdownguide.org

fake@example.com

Images:

- to add an image, add an exclamation mark (!), followed by alt text in brackets, and the path or URL to the image asset in parentheses. You can optionally add a title in quotation marks after the path or URL.

 

Image Size:

- the Markdown syntax for images doesn’t allow you to specify the width and height of images. If you need to resize an image and your Markdown processor supports HTML, you can use the img HTML tag with the width and height attributes to set the dimensions of an image in pixels.

<img src="image.png" width="200" height="100">

Image Captions:

Markdown doesn’t natively support image captions, but there are two possible workarounds. If your Markdown application supports HTML, you can use the figure and figcaption HTML tags to add a caption for your image.

<figure>

<img src="/assets/images/albuquerque.jpg"

alt="Albuquerque, New Mexico">

<figcaption>A single track trail outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico.</figcaption>

</figure>
