Editing

If you want to learn the formatting and markup syntax of this Wiki in detail, I have a link for you: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext
Just read on to learn some basics...

Text formatting

''Italic text''

'''Bold text'''

''''Bold & Italic text''''

<u>Underlined text</u>

Superscript and subscript:
X<sup>2</sup>, H<sub>2</sub>O

Simple line breaks are being
ignored by Wiki.

But an empty line starts
a new paragraph.

This is<br>a line break

Images

You can embed images in your articles by including an image link like this:

[[Image:MyImage.jpg|This is an image]]

After saving the text you will see the link in th article. By clicking on it you will be forwarded to the upload page where you can upload your image.

You can also create a small preview image (Thumbnail). When clicking the thumbnail, the big version of the image will be shown. To do this, write:

[[Image:MyImage.jpg|thumbnail|This is an image]]

You can even define the size of the preview image by setting a pixel value for its width:

[[Image:MyImage.jpg|thumbnail|150px|This is an image]]

If you want to show several images in a row, a gallery would be nice:

<gallery caption="A little gallery">
Image:MyImage1.jpg|The first image
Image:MyImage2.jpg|The second image
Image:MyImage3.jpg|The third image
</gallery>

Languages

This Wiki may contain articles in German as well as in English.

English articles must be in the "En:" namespace. German articles will lie in the main namespace.
E.g. the english page is "En:Monochrome" and the german page is "Schwarzweiß".

Important: Please consider linking the different versions of the pages to each other!
The german version should have the following in the first line:

<small>Read this page [[En:NameOfTheEnglishPage|in English]]</small>

And the english version should have this in its first line:

<small>Diese Seite [[NameOfTheGermanPage|auf Deutsch]] lesen</small>

External links

When you put external links in an article, make sure you link to a page. Do not directly link to files that are for download on other servers than the CINEMA 4D Wiki server!

Templates

Explanation: To mark an article as an explanation page for a term that has several different meanings, put the following into the first line of the text:

{{Explanation}}

Rework: To indicate that an article should be reworked or corrected, write

{{Rework}}

Inuse: While you are writing the initial version of an article, put this at the top of your text. It indicates that you are not finished yet, and (hopefully) prevents other users from editing the article:

{{Inuse}}

If you want to indicate the author who is working on the article, you can extend the statement a bit (in the following example, the author's name is Peter Shaw):

{{Inuse|Peter Shaw}}

To automatically fill in your user signature, use:

{{Inuse|~~~}}

Translate: Some articles first exist in German and should be translated, so there's also an english version available. While an article is not completely translated to English, put this into the first line:

{{Translate}}

Categories

Please *always* put your articles in a category and try to link to it from other articles. Otherwise, readers won't notice your article. Read in the Wiki Documentation about how to link and use categories.
