===Making tables using data from Excel===
For now, use [http://excel2wiki.net/wikipedia.php| this website] to paste data from Excel and then convert it to a format usable in Wiki. At a later date or possibly later today Carlin will figure out how to do this without using an external website (possibly by using a plugin). Alternatively utilize regular expressions and [[Winner's Curse in Acquisitions (Academic Paper)]] as a reference for table making in wikis.
===Bullets, Indents and Boxes===
===Images===
First, [[Special:Upload|upload a file]] (there's a link in the toolbox to the right). Then link to that file. More information on how to align, scale, or otherwise process images is available from [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images| mediawiki's help pages]
===Math===
You might also want to see the [[Help using LaTeX]] page!
===Transclusion===
Transclusion is a way to include pages, or text from pages in other pages. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion
On the source page you can:
*Include tags like <nowiki> <onlyinclude> ... </onlyinclude></nowiki> so that only the selected section will appear on transcluded pages
*Include links to the pages itself, like <nowiki> [[Editing Content]]</nowiki>. On the source page these 'links' will appear as bold text, but on the transcluded page they appear as a link.
On the target page, you can include the transcluded page (or section thereof) by using:
*<nowiki>{{:PageName}}</nowiki>
