Navigation popups
The Navigation popups wikitool allows easier access to several Wikipedia features as "popups" which appear when you hover the mouse over links. With this useful tool, when you hover your mouse cursor over a wikilink you can see a preview of the article or image; plus you can activate convenient functions such as going directly to the talk, edit, or history pages. In order to use navigation popups you must be logged in under your own user account and install some JavaScript onto a subpage of your userpage. Full instructions are in the Navigation popups page.

[edit] More templates
Another Tip of the moment...
To see everything on Wikipedia about a subject area...
Search for the category on that subject, by entering "Category:subject" (where "subject" is the category you want to see) into Wikipedia's search box.
To see if Wikipedia has any lists on the subject, type "list" and your subject into the search box, or check the List of basic topic lists and the List of topic lists.

The syntax used for displaying an image is:
- [[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]
Only [[Image:{name}]] is required. The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. They are:
- Type
- 'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.
- Location
- 'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "Left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or timelines can be displayed in the center.
- Size
- {width}px or {width}x{height}px (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 and height to 40). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to.
- Caption
- Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is automatically treated as caption text. It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader wouldn't have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image.
If you have a picture that isn't already in Wikipedia's image collection that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first.
