			To link an image without embedding it on the page, use a standard wikilink, but add a colon <code>:</code> to the beginning:
			<nowiki>[[:File:Example_File.png\|Example File]]</nowiki>

			The syntax above will link to the image's description page. To directly link an image file or other uploaded file, use this syntax:
			<nowiki>[[Media:Example_File.png\|Example File]]</nowiki>
			Besides image files, the Flashpoint Wiki currently allows uploading ZIP, 7Z and JSON files.

	Although code blocks are a nice way to highlight code, they will not prevent wiki formatting from being parsed. In order to stop the wiki parser from operating on a code block, you must add the <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag inside the code block. Or, you may surround multiple lines with the <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag, then add a space before the opening <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code> statement to surround the entire passage in a code block.

	# Choose the name for your anchor, which can be added to the wiki page's URL to link to the anchor's position on the page.
