			== Moving / Renaming a page ==

			If for some reason you need to change the title and/or address of a page in the wiki, you can't just open the editor and change it. Since the name of the page is also the web address of the page there is a special function for doing it all at once. When you're on the page you want to move / rename, look at the top of the page near the search bar and Edit button. There's a "More" drop down that let's you delete or protect the page, as well as Move the page. Click move to be taken to a small form where you can give the page a new name. By default the "Leave Redirect" button is checked so if another page uses the old link or someone types in the old name the site will redirect them to the new updated page.

This should be short and direct - "Main Entrance of the Seymour Library" for example. Ignore the License drop down and click Upload File at the bottom to finish.

			To insert a thumbnail instead of the entire picture, use code like this (example yanked from [[Shneck Medical Center]] ):

			to create the image to the right.

			Any text entered below the <nowiki>[[File:....]]</nowiki> line will then appear to the left of the image like this, meaning you can place a pic at the top of the page and not disturb the rest of the information. This can usually go right under the first <nowiki> == Section Header Text == </nowiki> to match the look of the [[Shneck Medical Center]] page.

The WikiMedia software is extremely powerful and extremely strange to get used to. There are many, many functions available that are not shown in any kind of editor or toolbar. This page will provide step by step instructions for specific functions and tools that will be most used. Have this page open in a separate tab or window to refer back for certain functions.

== Creating a new page / Finding a current page ==

These two things are lumped together because they are one in the same. Searching for "library" will show you pages titled library AND, if there is no page named "library," will give you a link to create a new blank page titled Library.

The first thing you will probably want to do is replace the blank page with the generic new page template. Do this by copy/pasting this tag into the new blank page:
