How to Create/Edit a Work Area

How to Create a Work Area

  • Go to the Conservation Area Page, for the Conservation Area that contains the work area.
  • Create an empty bulleted line. If there are already bulleted lines, go to the beginning of the line you want to insert a bulleted line before and type enter, or to add a bulleted line to the end, go to the end of the last bulleted line and type enter.
  • Click link icon.
  • Enter the short name of the new work area in the link text box (e.g., `Nashoba A').
  • Click `Insert'.
  • Click `Save Page'.
  • Click the name of the new work area. You will get a message saying the page does not exist, and the `Create' option will be selected.
  • On the first line of the new work area, type `{{subst:Template:Work Area}}'.
  • Save the page. Now the page is a copy of the Work Area template, which is Nashoba Area A. You can edit the new page replacing the area name etc. to describe the new work area.

Caution on Indentations

  • Indenting paragraphs and lists is describe in the documentation but DOES NOT WORK when text is to the right of an image in the left margin.

Inserting/Replacing and Image

  • To replace an image, delete the old image and proceed to insert the new image.
  • Upload the image file. One the left-hand menu, click `upload-file', select the file, and upload it.
  • If you want text to be at the left of the image, create a new empty line just ABOVE the text, and insert the image at the beginning of that line.
  • Click `Insert', `Images and Media', `Search', enter the beginning of the file name and click on the file, then click `Use This File' and `Insert'.
  • Then if you want the image to be in the left margin, right margin, or centered, click the image, `Edit', `Advanced', `Wrap Text Around This Item', and `Left', `Center', or `Right'.
