<nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[Anakao]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki>
To link to a page from an image instead of an image leading to larger version of the file shown on a page, add the link parameter to the image markup, eg.:
[[Image:Big_fish.jpg|100px200px|link=Big_fish]][[Image:Madagascar_Coffee_001.jpg|200px|link=Madagascar_Coffee]]
<pre>[[Image:Big_fish.jpg|100px200px|link=Big_fish]][[Image:Madagascar_Coffee_001.jpg|200px|link=Madagascar_Coffee]]</pre>
== Link to an image or other file ==

In the file, there is a list of coordinates:
<pre><nowiki><coordinates></nowiki>
50.1606086176,-14.2578310333,12.63
50.1606914308,-14.2576493975,11.67
etc.
</coordinates></pre>
Run geoconvert.sh FILENAME.gpx to change format to:
<pre>
-14.2578310333, 50.1606086176
-14.2576493975, 50.1606914308
etc.
</pre>
Copy into a new Google map, eg.:
<pre><nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" lat="-19.105844" lon="47.33697" height="750"
controls="large" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;">
</nowiki>
2#B2FCFF00
-14.2578310333, 50.1606086176
-14.2576493975, 50.1606914308
etc.
<nowiki></googlemap></nowiki></pre>
Placemarker icons are done separately above the path code
== Scalable maps ==
Modify markup on all pages containing maps to include <code>style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"</code>, e.g.:<br>
<nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" lat="-12.243119" lon="49.345264" type="satellite" zoom="16" controls="large" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"></nowiki>
Use http://www.madacamp.com/Special:ReplaceText
Replace:
<nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" (.*)></nowiki>
with:
<nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" $1 style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"></nowiki>
Select 'Use regular expressions' and namespaces 'Main'.
Pages which already contain the string will thereafter have duplicate style declarations:
style="width:100%;max-width:600px;" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"
Thereafter replace instances of:
style="width:100%;max-width:600px;" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"
with:
style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"

== Adding RSS news feeds to pages ==
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows importing summaries and corresponding links to news articles. For example, a Google [httphttps://news.google.com news search] for any keyword or phrase can be imported. HOwever, Google does not include RSS feed URLs directly on their search result pages but it's not complicated to piece together the relevant feed URLs. For example, a search for the phrase "madagascar lemurs" can be included on a page as follows:
<pre><rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins">httphttps://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss></pre>
The output of this news search for the phrase ''madagascar lemurs'', filtering out results with the terms ''penguins'' and ''movie'', becomes:
<rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguinsdeprecated">httphttps://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss>
Other non-Google RSS feeds may include a feed icon [[File:RSS_icon.png|14px]] to indicate the whereabouts of RSS feeds.
<gallery>
</gallery>
<pre><nowiki>
<gallery>
</gallery>
</nowiki></pre>
caption="Caption above gallery"
widths=''n'' Image - image widths in pixels
heights=''n'' Image - image heights in pixels
perrow=''n'' Number - number of images per row mode=''n'' - can be used with the following paramenters:* traditional - the default gallery display* nolines - like traditional but without border lines.* packed - all images will have the same height but different widths, with minimal space between images. The rows will organise themselves according to the screen width.* packed-overlay - shows captions on the image in a semi-transparent white overlay.* packed-hover - similar to packed-overlay but with the caption and box showing on hover.
== Wide images ==
== Displaying YouTube videos ==
<HTML5video type="youtube" width="600" height="338">AzUsrLi8P4ovDYzsT3d06I</youtube></sHTML5video>
Dragonfile.mp4
Dragonfile.offogg
Dragonfile.webm
Thereafter include the video on the page without the file suffix:
<nowiki><HTML5video width="520" height="320" autoplay="true" loop="true">Dragonfly</HTML5video></nowiki>
<HTML5video width="520" height="320" autoplay="true" loop="true">Dragonfly</HTML5video>
<!--Bug: Thumbs does not show up on Ipad, which affects autoplay="false" mode. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=2285855 -->
