Adding Categories
When creating pages or uploading images it helps the organization of the wiki if you add categories for the item to belongs to. You simply need to add [[Category:Category name]] at the end of a page or image description and you can add an item to as many categories as you wish.
Some examples of useful categories include:
- [[Category:Ben Warren]] - when adding an image of a particular driver
- [[Category:Draig Racing car images]] - when adding an image of a particular team
- [[Category:Melbourne images]] - when adding an image of a particular track
- [[Category:2011 images]] - when adding an image of a particular year
- [[Category:Drivers| ]] - when creating a driver page
- [[Category:Constructors]] - when creating a team page
- [[Category:Superleague teams]] - when creating a Superleague team page
- [[Category:Team owners]] - when creating a driver page of a team owner
- [[Category:Helmets]] - when adding a helmet image
- [[Category:Team logos]] - when adding a team logo

For Superleague drivers, you should use the following template.
{{Template:Infobox SL driver}}
If you copy and paste one that's already done from the list of drivers you can fill or change the details yourself. The code below produces the one for Adam Rouse on the right, for example:
{{Infobox SL driver | Name = {{flagicon|ENG}} Adam Rouse | Logo = [[File:H2rel.png]]| Nationality = {{flagicon|UK}} British | Years = 5 | Team(s) = [[Triple-Double Racing]]<br />[[Nordsjoen Racing]]<br />[[Vod:Bul]]<br />[[Puma]]| Races = 47 | Championships = 0 | Wins = 2 | Podiums = 8 | Poles = 0 | Fastest laps = ? | First race = [[2006 Malaysian Grand Prix]] | First win = [[2009 Australian Grand Prix]] | Last win = [[2009 Brazilian Grand Prix]] | Last race = [[2011 Austrian Grand Prix]] | Last season = [[2011 Superleague season|2011]]| }}
Supercup Drivers
For drivers who haven't yet driven any Superleague races, but have raced in the Supercup, use this slight variation:
{{Infobox SC driver | Name = {{flagicon|GRE}} Georgios Davakos | Logo = [[File:Silhouette placeholder 300x.png|200px]] | Nationality = {{flagicon|GRE}} Greek | Years = 1 ([[2011 Supercup season|2011]]) | Team(s) = [[Nordsjoen Racing]], [[Water Blue Racing]] | Races = 7 | Championships = 0 | Wins = 0 | Podiums = 2 | Poles = 0 | Fastest laps = 0 | First race = [[2011 Australian Grand Prix]] | First win = 0 | Last win = 0 | Last race = [[2011 French Grand Prix]] | Last season = 2011 }}
Combined Superleague/Supercup Infobox
{{Infobox SL-SC driver | Name = {{flagicon|ENG}} Chris Williamson | Logo = [[File:ChrisWilliamsonHelmet.jpg|220px]]| Nationality = {{flagicon|UK}} British | Years = 2 | Team(s) = [[ST Racing]], [[Nijo Racing]] | Races = 19 | Championships = 0 | Wins = 0 | Podiums = 0 | Poles = 0 | Fastest laps = 0 | First race = [[2010 Chinese Grand Prix]] | First win = N/A | Last win = N/A | Last race = {{Latest F1GP}} | Last season = [[2011 Superleague season|2011]]| SCYears = 2 | SCTeam(s) = [[PB Racing]], [[Nijo Racing]]| SCRaces = 29 | SCChampionships = 0 | SCWins = 1 | SCPodiums = 8 | SCPoles = 0 | SCFastest laps = 0 | SCFirst race = [[2010 Supercup Australian Grand Prix]] | SCFirst win = [[2010 Supercup Chinese Grand Prix]] | SCLast win = [[2010 Supercup Chinese Grand Prix]] | SCLast race = {{Latest SCGP}} | SCLast season = [[2011 Supercup season|2011]]| }}
Editing Tables
Editing tables is one of the harder tasks at present, but the following is intended to be a basic guide.
Example
Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 | Heading 4 |
---|---|---|---|
Row 2 Column 1 | Row 2 Column 2 | Row 2 Column 3 | Row 2 Column 4 |
Row 3 Column 1 | Row 3 Column 2 | Row 3 Column 3a | Row 3 Column 4 |
Row 3 Column 3b | |||
Example Driver | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Example Driver 2 | 4 | 11 | Ret |
Example Driver 3 | AUS
3 |
CHN
1 |
JAP
|
The table above is generated from the code below:
{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align:center; font-size:90%;" ! Heading 1 ! Heading 2 ! Heading 3 ! Heading 4 |- ! Row 2 Column 1 | Row 2 Column 2 | Row 2 Column 3 | Row 2 Column 4 |- !rowspan=2| Row 3 Column 1 |rowspan=2| Row 3 Column 2 | Row 3 Column 3a |rowspan=2| Row 3 Column 4 |- | Row 3 Column 3b |- | [[Example Driver]] |bgcolor="#ffffbf"| 1 |bgcolor="#dfdfdf"| 2 |bgcolor="#ffdf9f"| 3 |- | [[Example Driver 2]] |bgcolor="#dfffdf"| 4 |bgcolor="#cfcfff"| 11 |bgcolor="#efcfff"| Ret |- | [[Example Driver 3]] |bgcolor="#FFDF9F"|AUS <small>3</small> |bgcolor="#FFFFBF"|CHN <small>1</small> |bgcolor="#FFFFFF"|JAP <small></small> |- |}
Basic Codes

You type | You get | Notes |

! Text | Text | A Cell formatted as a heading |
| Text | Text | A normal cell |
