+Use the wikitable style table. All rows start with |- with each cell starting with |. Use ! instead of | for the header so that the text is bold. Use line breaks only to distinguish between rows, so place the cell content on the same line as the ! or |.

-Use PNG images. Images are named in a similar scheme to the page that they appear on but do not contain spaces. For example, the image that appears of the tab on the Employee Main page is EmployeeMainTab.png. The image of what appears in the tab is EmployeeMainTabPage.png. There is no folder structure for storing images so the image names need to be unique, and the names should contain sufficient information to imply the grouping that would exist had a folder structure existed for strong the images. For example, all the images from the scheduler start with Scheduler.

 Please note: MediaWiki prior to 1.14 used the "Image:" namespace instead of "File:", "Image:" is still retained as an alias for backward compatibility.

 Smaller images can appear inline by using
-  <nowiki>[[Image:EmployeeMainTab.png]]</nowiki>
+  <nowiki>[[File:EmployeeMainTab.png]]</nowiki>
 This is an inline image:
-[[Image:EmployeeMainTab.png]]
+[[File:EmployeeMainTab.png]]
 Larger images do not necessarily look good inline and can be right aligned and made smaller using
-  <nowiki>[[Image:EmployeeMainTabPage.png|right|300px]]</nowiki>
+  <nowiki>[[File:EmployeeMainTabPage.png|right|300px]]</nowiki>
-[[Image:EmployeeMainTabPage.png|right|300px]]
+[[File:EmployeeMainTabPage.png|right|300px]]
 This is a right aligned image. Note that it starts on the same line as this text because the image tag was placed BEFORE this text.

-Page names handle spaces without any problems so you would name a page Employee Time Cards and not EmployeeTimeCards. These examples are working with a made up feature in the software called Widgets. This also demonstrates potential issues with inconsistency because some words have singular and pluralization forms, e.g. Budget, Budgets, Time Card, Time Cards.
