 Adding images to your page is quick and easy. Simply add the following code to where you want the image to display:
-* <nowiki>[[File:your_image_name.type]]</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>[[File:Your_image_name.type]]</nowiki>
 Your image will then appear in that page after it is uploaded. There are further modifiers you can add for images:
-* <nowiki>[[File:your_image_name.type|frame]]</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>[[File:Your_image_name.type|frame]]</nowiki>
 ** Creates a frame around your image
-* <nowiki>[[File:your_image_name.type|thumb]]</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>[[File:Your_image_name.type|thumb]]</nowiki>
 ** Creates a thumbnail image which will show the full size when clicked on
-* <nowiki>[[File:your_image_name.type|frame|left]]</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>[[File:Your_image_name.type|frame|left]]</nowiki>
 ** Moves the frame/thumb to the left or center of the page
-* <nowiki>[[File:your_image_name.type|frame|Some description text goes here]]</nowiki>
+* <nowiki>[[File:Your_image_name.type|frame|Some description text goes here]]</nowiki>
 ** Adds text directly below your image frame/thumb. Has to be last in the syntax.

 When you select your image, the "Destination filename" box will also be filled out with a suggested name. However it is usually better to use a specific naming schema for your files, making it easy to remember. The following method is recommended:
-* your_image_name.type
+* Your_image_name.type
 There are a few simple ideas behind this schema:
-* All lower case letters, no matter what
+* All lower case letters, no matter what (except first letter, UOGuide automatically upper cases it)
-* Seperate words by underscores
+* Separate words by underscores
 * Stick to the name of the item, if there are multiple images add a word on the end like on, off, active, etc.
 For example, there is 2 pictures of a lantern. They would be named:
-* lantern_on.jpg
+* Lantern_on.jpg
-* lantern_off.jpg
+* Lantern_off.jpg
 Repeat this step until you have uploaded all the desired images for your page.

 Adding category tags to your page is important so they can be organized into collections. Here are a list of useful categories to add to your pages:
-* <nowiki>{{Categorize|EM_Items_Season_1}}</nowiki> (replace number with season number)
+* <nowiki>{{Categorize|EM_Items_Season_1}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Category:EM Items Season 1]]</nowiki> (replace number with season number)
