 ## Link to the file you uploaded on your Wiki page:  '''<nowiki>[[Media:exact-name-of-uploaded-file|visible label]]</nowiki>''' Don't forget that the filename will include a file extension.
 #* The wiki is used by many different users.  Make sure that your filename is unique to you.  "Resume.pdf" is a very generic filename that could be potentially used by many people. "Myname_resume.pdf" will be unique to you.  Using a unique filename that identifies you as the author is important because files that are uploaded with the same name will overwrite each other.  This is a great feature when you are updating your own file, but it is a terrible feature if your file gets overwritten by someone else's file!

 # Assign one or more categories to your page:  '''<nowiki>[[Category:category name]]</nowiki>''' This creates an automatic "table of contents" for the wiki.  When you click on a category link at the bottom of a page, a new page opens giving you a list of all wiki pages that have been assigned that category.

 # Create a template for yourself and use it on your user page.  A template is a block of wiki text that you want to use over and over again on various pages.  Instead of having to either re-type that content or even copy-and-paste it multiple times, you can simply put the content on a special Template page.  You then use code to invoke the template on any other page in which you want that text to appear.  The advantage to using a Template is that when you make changes to the Template page, they will automatically appear on any other page on which the Template has been invoked. There are three steps to creating a Template.
 ## Create your template page like you would create any other new wiki page, but using the prefix ''Template:'' as part of the page name.  For example, your template should be called '''<nowiki>[[Template:username]]</nowiki>'''.

 # Every time you edit a page (whether it is a content page or discussion page), '''enter a meaningful description of your change in the ''Summary'' field''' at the bottom of the editor.  This allows other users to easily see (say via the [[Special:RecentChanges]] or history pages) what has happened to the page since they last visited it.

 ##* At the minimum, you should use it to create a set of navigation links that you will use in each week's journal entry.  Each week as part of your journal assignment, you will be asked to create a link to your '''user page''', '''the assignment page''', '''your individual journal entry page''', and '''the shared journal page''', as well as adding the '''category "Journal Entry"''' to your page.  You should put list of all these links (for all weeks of the semester) on your template and then invoke the template each week on your individual journal page. Then this part of the assignment will automatically be taken care of for you.  You may also wish to include any other links that you would find useful.
 ## Once you have added and saved the content to your Template page, you need to '''''use''''' your template on your user page.  This is called "invoking" the template.  To do so, invoke the template by using the following syntax:  '''<nowiki>{{Template:username}}</nowiki>''' in the place you wish the content of the template page to appear. This will "expand" the template to its full contents on the actual page.
