Different on our wiki

Some things don't work exactly like the instructions from wikipedia above.

Uploading an image or media

1. Uploading a file = creating a special page for it here: http://wiki.hackuarium.ch/index.php?title=Special:Upload
2. On your page, create an internal link with the usual syntax. Example of code: [[File:File-name.extension|thumb|left|Legend in the box]]
