 To add an image to an article on the wiki, insert the following: <nowiki>[[file:example_image.png|thumb|250px|Figure X: Example caption]]</nowiki>. Replace "example_image" with the image name (mind the extension), "X" with the figure number" and "Example caption" with the caption the image should have. To place multiple images, simply do the same on the next line.

 Images should usually be inserted at the top of an article so that they fill up the side from the top. It doesn't look good if there are trailing images after all the text has ended. Images are typically 250 pixels wide, with some exceptions being 500.

 In order to make edits on the wiki you will need to make an account. This is done by clicking "Request account" in the top right corner and filling in the fields.
