Adding links
All pictures in Akvopedia are placed on the right hand side of the text in a small format, with a short text describing the picture. When the picture is clicked, the full format is displayed. The page [[How to add a picture|How to add picture]] explains how to add and upload pictures.
To display the picture on the right-hand side, this text was used: '''<nowiki>[[Image:Joinus.jpg | thumb | right | 150px 200px | Click [[Picturename|here]] to see how you can contribute pictures]]</nowiki>'''. You can copy and paste this text in the Akvopedia article you are editing, changing the image name and the picture description to correspond to your uploaded picture.
Movies and animations cannot directly be incorporated in an Akvopedia page yet. Instead, a link is provided to the location of the movie or animation. See the section below on how to add links.
There are two ways to add a link to an external file, such as a movie, an animation, or an external web page:
#Click on the "External chain link-looking button" button in the upper-left corner of the editing box (see figure 8). This gives you the option to insert the web address, create a caption, and then select whether you are linking to an external website, or another page (internal) within Akvopedia. It will then insert the text "<nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki>". Replace the sample website address "<nowiki>http://www.example.com</nowiki>" with the address of into your movie, animation or web editing page. Replace 'link title' with the title wherever you want to appear in the text of the Akvopedia pageplace your nouse cursor.#A second method is to simply directly insert the text "<nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki>" by copy paste(take it from another link's code already in an Akvopedia page), and make the changes to the web address and the title. # Internal links, or pages that link to other Akvopedia pages, will appear like this in the code, with 2 brackets instead of one on either side of your text: "<nowiki>[[Akvopedia page | Text you want displayed]]</nowiki>". The pipe symbol, or " | ", can be used to separate the page name in Akvopedia, with the name you want the text to say. For instance, say in an article you are mentioning how to build a sand dam. The page in Akvopedia uses a capital "S" for Sand dam. But you might want to just mention the word in your sentence, such as: "Many people find this pump goes well with sand dams." You would not want to add a capital "S" and you would like to make the word 'dams' plural, too. The code would then look like this in your sentence: "Many people find this pump goes well with <nowiki>[[Sand dam | sand dams]]</nowiki>". In your final (saved) text, it will appear like this: "Many people find this pump goes well with [[Sand dam | sand dams]]".
