'''This page covers page structure, tables, images, and layout conventions on Landrace.Wiki.'''

For basic text formatting, links, and lists, see [[Help:Editing basics]]. For citation formatting, see [[Help:Sourcing]].

== Page structure ==

Most content pages on Landrace.Wiki follow a standard structure:

# '''Lead paragraph''' – A brief summary of what the page covers, with no heading. This appears before the table of contents.
# '''Sections''' – The body of the page, divided by <code><nowiki>== Heading ==</nowiki></code> markup.
# '''References''' – A <code><nowiki>== References ==</nowiki></code> section at the bottom containing <code><nowiki>{{Reflist}}</nowiki></code>.
# '''Categories''' – Category tags at the very bottom of the wikitext.

Do not add a heading for the lead paragraph. The page title serves that function.

== Tables ==

=== Basic table ===

<pre>
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Column A !! Column B !! Column C
|-
| Row 1A || Row 1B || Row 1C
|-
| Row 2A || Row 2B || Row 2C
|}
</pre>

Produces:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Column A !! Column B !! Column C
|-
| Row 1A || Row 1B || Row 1C
|-
| Row 2A || Row 2B || Row 2C
|}

Key syntax:
* <code>{|</code> starts the table, <code>|}</code> ends it
* <code>|-</code> starts a new row
* <code>!</code> and <code>!!</code> create header cells
* <code>|</code> and <code>||</code> create regular cells
* <code>class="wikitable"</code> applies standard wiki table styling

=== Table with column widths ===

<pre>
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! style="width: 30%;" | Name
! style="width: 70%;" | Description
|-
| Example || A description of the example
|}
</pre>

== Images ==

=== Uploading ===

Upload images through [[Special:Upload]]. Use descriptive filenames (e.g., <code>Parvati-Valley-field-2024.jpg</code> rather than <code>IMG_4392.jpg</code>).

Before uploading, check [[Help:Media and safety]] for guidelines on face blurring, EXIF metadata, and location sensitivity.

=== Embedding images ===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! What you type !! Result
|-
| <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Caption text]]</nowiki></code> || Thumbnail on the right with caption
|-
| <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|left|Caption text]]</nowiki></code> || Thumbnail on the left
|-
| <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|300px|Caption text]]</nowiki></code> || Thumbnail at 300px width
|-
| <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|frameless|200px]]</nowiki></code> || Inline image, no frame, 200px wide
|}

For accession pages, place the primary photograph at the top of the page using a right-aligned thumbnail. Additional photographs can be placed in a gallery:

<pre>
<gallery>
File:Example1.jpg|Caption one
File:Example2.jpg|Caption two
File:Example3.jpg|Caption three
</gallery>
</pre>

== Horizontal rules ==

A horizontal line is created with four hyphens:

<pre>
----
</pre>

Use sparingly. Section headings are usually a better way to divide content.

== Redirects ==

If a page should redirect to another page (for example, an alternative spelling or old page name):

<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Target page]]
</pre>

This should be the only content on the page.

== Landrace.Wiki conventions ==

A few layout conventions specific to this wiki:

* '''Project pages''' (in the <code>Landrace.Wiki:</code> namespace) should include <code><nowiki>{{Information page}}</nowiki></code> at the top and <code><nowiki>{{Basic information}}</nowiki></code> at the bottom.
* '''Help pages''' (in the <code>Help:</code> namespace) follow the same pattern.
* '''Content pages''' (accessions, regions, country pages) use their own specific templates. See [[Help:Accessions]] and [[Help:Regions and fields]] for those conventions.
* '''Categories''' go at the very bottom of the wikitext, after any navbox templates.
