Cheat Sheet for Codes
For embedding interactive elements, you need to use a widget called a MediaWiki. Below are the codes you need to embed a Prezi or SlideShare presentation, or YouTube video. You will enter the MediaWiki through the 'Show WikiTextEditor' (the link is right above the WikiTextEditor box). One great thing about a wiki is that you can borrow code from others. By following the 'edit' link on any page, you can go into the 'WikiTextEditor' to copy/paste the code for the page you are populating with information.
For Prezi:
- After the line, and before the }} brackets, enter 'id=' followed by the unique the combination of letters/numbers.
For SlideShare:
- In the empty space after SlideShare and before width, enter 'doc=' followed the unique combination of letters/numbers.
For YouTube:
- After the line and before the }} brackets, enter 'id=' followed the unique combination of letters/numbers.
To categorize your page, use these brackets [[ ]]. Between them, type [[Category:]].
