  • Links: internal, to another wiki, external, to the same text in a wiki with different language, to Wikipedia, permanent link. Controlling visibility of text in a link (text separated with |, square brackets, running numbers).
  • Ref-tag: basic use, correct manner of referencing
  • Files: uploading and description, adding a picture to a site, thumb parameters, link to a file or link to a site containing the file
  • Categories, categorizing
  • Evaluating scientific content and usefulness of a page using the rating bar.
