To add web-based links, under 'Links for further information', select 'Link' from the toolbar. Click 'Web Address', paste the URL in the 'Address' box, and name the link in the 'Link Text' box. It is important to check 'New Window' to open links in a separate window, ensuring the original Wiki page remains open. Hit 'Add Link' and press enter before adding another link to prevent mixing them up .

To ensure proper separation and order of new links, it is crucial to hit the 'Enter' key before adding new links. This prevents them from becoming mixed up by clearly demarcating each entry in the list under 'Links for further information' .

Insert a book cover image by clicking 'File' in the toolbar, then '+ Upload Files' to find and upload the image file. Click on the file to place it on the page. The image will show automatically, and its size can be adjusted using the plus or minus signs. For author and illustrator details, type beneath the picture: 'By: (insert author name)' and 'Illustrated by: (insert name)', ensuring clarity in case the text in the image is unreadable .

Log in to the Wiki and check for existing links for the country or region. If the page is not listed, click ‘Manage Wiki’, then ‘Pages and Files.’ Click ‘New Page’ in the upper right corner, type the name of the country or region, and click ‘Create’. You will be redirected to the editing pane to start adding content .

To add a student's project to a specific country or region page on a Wiki platform, first open the student project and determine the corresponding country or region. Copy the project's URL. On the Wiki, navigate to the appropriate country or region page. If the page is not visible, click 'see more' for additional options. If still not visible, consult the tutorial on creating a new page. In the Wiki, click 'Edit', insert the project's information or links, and save the changes .

If a relevant page is not automatically displayed, one should first click on ‘see more’ to reveal any hidden pages. If a suitable page is still not visible, proceed by creating a new page, ensuring the layout and structure align with the existing wiki guidelines .

Arranging multiple links allows users to access detailed resources pertinent to different aspects of the project. Each should be labeled by the file type (e.g., "ThingLink 1", "Glog 1") and numbered for organization and clarity. This structured approach helps avoid confusion and ensures users can easily navigate through different resource types .

If the book is already listed in the Wiki, one should skip the steps related to inserting a new book cover image and jump directly to adding any additional links or supplemental information under 'Links for further information' .

'Click off in the white space' after adjusting the image ensures that the image is deselected, allowing the user to proceed with typing additional content. This action helps avoid unwanted alterations to the picture and enables focus shift from image editing to text input or further edits .

The image chosen should ideally be the largest available from a Google Image search to ensure clear visibility. This helps enhance the visual quality of the Wiki page, ensuring details are visible and the page appears professional .
