==How to add slides==
To insert slides, you first have to upload them to the wiki, and then link them. The preferred format for slides are PDF files and our Wiki only allows the upload of files that are smaller than 15 MB in size. If your file with PDF file of the slides is too big you might have to shrink it. There are many tools for this available, but Adobe itself [https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html offers an easy online tool] for this.

==How to add information about the presenter ==
+
==How to add information about myself as a person==
Our initial imports from the ''Show & Tell'' library only have very limited information about the presenter, mostly some links to social media or the presenters websites. In many cases these links might be very outdated and will not work anymore.
 
 
 
If you are the presenter (or know the presenter) and know working links to social media or the website of a presenter, please help us by updating them. Also: If you are the presenter and want to give a bit more context about yourself, it is perfectly fine to write a few sentences about yourself!
 
 
 
==How to request deletion==

==Where can I ask a question?==
 
For questions regarding a specific wiki page, you can ask them directly on the pages's ''Talk'' page. To get there, click on the "Discussion" tab (top left of the page).
