How do I add content to Mental Health Wiki?

To start adding content to Mental Health Wiki, we need to add pages. The site map (Tools > Site map) shows an overview of the content of Mental Health Wiki.

How do I use the Editor?

Mental Health Wiki has an easy-to-use built-in WYSIWYG Editor, similar to that of a light weight word processor. There is no arcane notation to learn and memorize. Instead, you can format text with a click of a button and even copy/paste from other web pages and office applications. If copying formatted text from another application (e.g. Microsoft Word) we recommend copying the text to a plain text editor (e.g. Notepad) and then copying it into the Mental Health Wiki Editor. Appropriate formatting can then be applied using the Editor.

The Editor has a number of default formats (e.g. Heading 1) to use for particular purposes. For more information, please read the Mental Health Wiki layout and style guide.

For more information on the features of the Editor, see below:

How do I link to a website or another page within Mental Health Wiki?

In Mental Health Wiki you can insert a hyperlink to another page within the wiki, or to an external website. Select the text that you want to link to, and then click the Link button. You can only insert links if you are already editing a page.

How do I insert a reference?

To insert a reference, place your cursor where you want to put the reference. Then click the Insert Reference button (see screenshot below).

This will bring up the Insert Reference dialog. Add the citation to the Footnote Text box, then click the Insert Reference button (see screenshot below)

This will place a reference number at the point of insertion, and the citation text will appear under a References heading at the bottom of the page. Any additional references that are inserted will be automatically numbered in sequence.

How do I insert an image or an attachment?

If you want to insert an image or an attachment (e.g. PDF file) into a Mental Health Wiki page, it needs to be uploaded to the Mental Health Wiki website. Each wiki page can have files stored with it. Put your cursor where you want to insert the image/attachment on the page, and click the Paperclip icon. This uploads your file and inserts it into the page in one step.

This will open the attach files dialog in Browse mode which allows you to navigate through your computer to locate the image to insert. Select your image and click the Attach files button.

Alternatively, if you have already uploaded the image and just need to insert it into the page, you can click the Image icon (to the left of the paperclip icon). This opens the Insert image dialog, which allows you to navigate through the Mental Health Wiki file hierarchy and locate images to insert as seen in the following screenshot.

Once you've found the image that you want to insert into the page, select it. It will then show a thumbnail in the preview window on the right. You can then specify the image size and alignment of the image. When your image is ready, click Insert image and it will be inserted into your page.

How do I insert a table?

To insert a table into a Mental Health Wiki page, position your cursor where you would like to insert the table and then click the Table button (see screenshot below).

Once you click this, it will open up the following dialog:

Once the dialog opens, you can configure the properties of the table before inserting it into the page.

1. Configure the number of Rows and Columns for the table, you can add more later on if needed by right clicking on the table and adding more. See below for right click dialog.
2. Change the border size for the table, if you set it to 0 then there will be no border
3. You can change the alignment of the table by clicking the dropdown and selecting Left, Right, or Center
4. Width can be expressed by pixels or Percent. if you set it to 100% then it will expand to the full width of the Mental Health Wiki page
5. Height can only be expressed in pixels. If left empty it will auto adjust according to the number of rows you have
6. Cell spacing dictates the spacing between cells
7. Cell padding adds spacing inside the cell itself, giving an invisible border
8. Caption will place a heading for the table that will be visible
9. Summary is meta data for the table
10. Once you have everything configured to your liking you can click OK and the table will be inserted

When you right click on a table, you can adjust it further by Adding and Deleting Columns, Rows, and Cells (see screenshot below). If you want to edit details about the Table such as width, cell spacing, border size, etc., click on Table Properties.
