Indenting
To indent a block of text, use a colon (:) like this:
:Level 1 ::Level 2 :::Level 3
Gives:
- Level 1
- Level 2
- Level 3
- Level 2
This is especially useful on discussion pages, where indentation can indicate replies to a particular comment.
Lists
<!-- Line breaks -->
* Bulleted lists are easy
** more asterisks make more levels
*** and making <br/> new lines does not alter alignment
# numbered lists are easy as well
## numbered lists obey the same rules <br/> as the bulleted lists
### There is a limit to the number of
### levels you can go down
# You can also use numbers and bullets together
#* Thus you can mix and make interesting ordered lists
#* quite easily as well
# and continue numbering
: indenting without bullet or number
:: obeys the same <br/> rules as well
: and uses a different symbol
List will appear as follows
- Bulleted lists are easy

Uploading
An easy way to upload an image is to create a link to your image, even if you haven't uploaded it yet. When you save your page, the name of the image will be red. Clicking on the red link will take you directly to a page that lets you upload your image. There is also an 'Upload file' link in the toolbox on the left. You can simply click Browse and locate the file of interest. If you want, write a brief summary about the image. Once you've located the file, click the Upload File button.
Using Images
Using images in QMRAwiki is done by doing the following: Let's say you want to link to an file (that happens to be an image). To do this, simply type [[File:Icon-hazard.png]] and the image will appear.
Clicking on the image will take you to that image's page in QMRAwiki.
Let's say though, that you wanted to make the picture smaller and move it to the right of the page. You can do this by adding some wiki code after the file name. For example, |thumb| will decrease the image to 120 pixels wide (a thumbnail). We can follow it with '30px' to make it 30 pixels wide. Writing [[File:Icon-hazard.JPG|thumb|right|30px]] will make the picture go to the right of the page, like this:Now, our image is on the right, and we can write on the left.
Image inclusion syntax
To generalize the above: there is a syntax for adding images in Mediawiki wikis. To add an image, use:
- [[file:ImageFileName|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]
{type}, {location}, {size}, and {caption} are all optional. Anything that is not recognizable as {type} {location} or {size} is treated as a caption.
- type: allowed values are 'thumb', 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. If this is left blank, there is no box around the image, and it doesn't display a caption
- location: allowed values are 'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Text will wrap around 'left' or 'right' but not around 'center'. Use {{Clr}} to prevent text below from wrapping.
- size:{width}px width in pixels. Ignored if type is 'frame'.
Examples
In the examples below, the image is placed at the beginning of a block of nonsense text, so you can see how wrapping around the image works.

Framed Images with caption
Default alignment: [[File:Icon-hazard.png|frame|Sample image figure legend]]
Centered: [[File:Icon-hazard.png|frame|50px|center| Sample image figure legend]]

More about Images at meta and at Wikipedia. Embedded images on QMRAWiki must be uploaded, and then linked. To upload, go to Upload file from the toolbox. The most recently uploaded images and files are listed in Special:Newimages.
Tables
How to format tables in QMRAwiki
<!-- For tables this is the border arrangment that we use all of the | symbols need to line up -->
<!-- {| starts the table || defines new columns |- defines that a new row is starting or the other one is finsihing -->
<!-- |} closes the table
{| <!-- These top 3 lines will not change other than renaming the caption -->
{| border = "1"
|+ '''Table Caption''' <!-- for a link use [http://link.to.file.uploaded.xls '''Table caption''' -->
! Column A
! Column B <!-- Headers are defined thusly and are automatically bolded and centered -->
|-
| A1 <!-- Two ways to define cell entries -->
| B1
|-
| ''A2'' || '''''B2'''''
|-
| text or numbers go in (1,2,3,4,5) || rows adapt size to fit values <br/> starting a new line is easy too
|-
| colspan = "2" align="center"| merged columns
|-
| colspan = "2" align="right"| Right alignment
|-
| colspan = "2" | left alignment
|-
| rowspan = "2" | merged rows
| only for that column
|-
| Thus this column is normal
|-
| And you can add Greek letters || <center> α Α δ Δ </center>
|}
Table will appear as follows
| Column A | Column B |
|---|---|
| A1 | B1 |
| A2 | B2 |
| text or numbers go in (1,2,3,4,5) | rows adapt size to fit values starting a new line is easy too |
| merged columns | |
| Right alignment | |
| left alignment | |
| merged rows | only for that column |
| Thus this column is normal | |
| And you can add Greek letters | |
There are several templates[1] on this wiki that are used to format content, particularly relating to dose response. We have code (written in R) for fitting dose response models; that code outputs appropriate template calls that can be pasted directly into QMRAwiki pages. If a template is changed, the R code must also be changed to avoid errors. All of these templates use named fields (rather than numbered fields). Text that is capitalized must be modified by a human when the template call is pasted into QMRAwiki; it represents necessary information that the R code cannot automatically add.
If you are editing templates, some templates have embedded Semantic Internal Objects, which occur at the end of the template. All text within {{#set_internal|...}} can (and should) be ignored when modifying the template.
When adding a new dose response model page please also add a category tag for the Agent. Use a preexisting one from the subcategory tree if possible. If the agent you wish to add does not exist you may create a new category. Please also tag the page associated with the new category you just created with one of the higher level tags found here.
Presenting data from feeding experiments
Template:DRExperimentDataTable3 formats data from dose response experiments with 3 dose levels. It is actually a family of templates: there are similar templates for each possible number of dose levels (Template:DRExperimentDataTable4, Template:DRExperimentDataTable5, etc.). For example, this code:
{{DRExperimentDataTable3|title=''Ornythorchis sumiomis'' fed to gerbils|refer=Eco 1990|reference=Eco U, 1990. Death in gerbils, mediated by ''O. sumiomis''. ''Journal of Irreproducible Results'' '''24'''(3):123.|pos=death|neg=undeath|d1=10|p1=3|n1=0|t1=3|d2=5|p2=2|n2=1|t2=3|d3=1|p3=1|n3=2|t3=3}}
<references/>
yields this formatted output (the detailed formatting info is contained within Template:DRExperimentDataTable3):
|
- ↑ Eco U, 1990. Death in gerbils, mediated by O. sumiomis. Journal of Irreproducible Results 24(3):123.
Note that italics (for proper display of scientific names, etc.) must be added manually, like this: ''Italicized text''
This family of templates incorporates citations. It can correctly handle repeated citations, i.e., when two different tables cite the same reference. To do this, the 'refer' field is the short reference name (e.g., Smith 2003), and the 'reference' field is the full reference that you want in the bibliography (e.g., Smith J, 2003. Bacilli I have known, JAMA, 1023(4):2023.). See the Mediawiki Cite extension [2].
Presenting results from fitting dose response models to data from feeding experiments
Template:DRFit presents results from fitting feeding experiment data to the exponential and beta-Poisson dose response models, including an assessment of which model is preferred for those data.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Presenting detailed results for a particular model
Template:DRConfidenceExponential presents bootstrapped parameter estimates for the exponential dose response model.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Template:DRConfidenceBetaPoisson is very similar; it presents bootstrapped parameter estimates for the beta-Poisson dose response model.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Briefly presenting results for several models together in one table
There are a set of templates which are combined to format summary tables of dose response models. Template:DRSummaryTableStart provides the table headings. Template:DRSummaryTablePreferredModel should be called immediately afterwards, and provides the preferred model for a particular agent. It is followed by any number of calls to Template:DRSummaryTableNonpreferredModel, describing other available dose response models for that agent. The table is completed by a call to Template:DRSummaryTableEnd, which has no arguments and adds the final footnote row.
{{DRSummaryTableStart|agent=''Bacillus necromancicum''}}
