Template:HelpSide BoroondaraWiki relies on editors contributing information. We encourage site contributers to be bold and add content.
Introduction
Some general principles to consider when editing a page:
- Be bold! If you see a mistake or something that needs improvement, fix it yourself.
- Use sub-headings. These help to organise articles. Sub-headings also make finding information easier.

Editing an existing page
Adding a file
Including media in an article often helps to communicate its contents. Whether that be a photo, map or something else, adding a file is a good way to improve BoroondaraWiki.
You can browse any existing media through the category system of the wiki. If you see something you like, add it using [[File:FILENAME|RESOLUTION (e.g. 200px)|ALIGNMENT (e.g. left, right or center|CAPTION]].
If you would like to upload a new file that is not already included on the wiki, see Help:Media.
Adding categories and templates
Categories
Some best pratice to consider when adding categories:
- Content should only be placed in its sub-category. For example, a photo of Balwyn would be placed in Category:Balwyn, not in Category:Suburbs.
- Create sub-categories if required. When doing so, make sure that any relevant existing content is also moved into the new sub-category.
