Ok, I want to edit something that's about where I live,and because there is not enough info on it I want to upgrade this article with more info.I've seen loads of aticles with a bar on the left hand side of the article with info and pictures and I just want to know how you do this, click on the link below it's a picture of the thing that I want to do,the thing I want to do is circled with a red circle and pointed to by a red arrow:
http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i207/j...
If anyone can tell me how to do this,I'd be so grateful thanks. Sometimes View Source may be good at looking for certain parts on how to edit a page. I haven't use it with Wikipedia yet though. *Gee I hope the answer bar doesn't transcribe HTML*
Are you trying to submit pictures to Wiki? You should be able to code it in there with the edit portion of the article.
<img src="Plug your url here, possibly from photobucket, too">
I don't see why that wouldn't work - that or check the source of the coding in an example and template for your submittal.
Savy? Don't listen to the first answerer. They don't know what they're talking about. This is how that object on the side was made with Wikimarkup:

Replace the information with your own data and remember to upload your own images, if you want. Just place that first on the page and then the article, so if the article is already there, before all text on the page, put this in.
Edit:
Sorry about the line wrapping on the first line. You can view the whole code by clicking edit on the article.
Edit:
That is an infobox for a country, to see other infoboxes, visit this Wikipedia page:

Your Welcome! The best thing you can do to copy the page that you like is open it up to be able to look at the code and then open a second window and add the elements that you're missing into the page that you'd like to edit. |
