+
+The website uses a Wiki structure which means that people can add/ edit or change the content. The Wiki essentially works on the principle of internal linking which means that any entry that is created can be linked internally with the use of a simple square bracket command.
+
+If you register as a user you may start adding or editing  entries
+
+For instance if there is an entry for Awara then any place you find a reference if you place it within brackets it automatically links to the page Awara
+
+{{{
+[[Awara]]
+}}}
+
+
+== Structure ==
+
+On the home page you will find a list of categories such as Chronicle, Films, Directors, Actors, Studios, Producers etc.
+
+Whenever you create a new entry you can classify it under one of these by simply placing a link at the bottom of your entry to one of them
+
+For instance if you create an entry for 
+
+Omkara, then at the bottom of the page you add {{{[[Films]]}}} and it will be added to the list of films
+
+You may place as many categories as you want 
+
+For Vishal Bharadwaj for instance you could place him under 
+
+{{{
+[[Director]]
+[[Music]]
+[[Writer]]
+}}}
+
+
+== 1. How to create a new entry ==
+
+On the address bar cinemaofindia.org/wiki just add the name of an entry you want to make. For instance if you want to create an entry for Helen you add
+
+{{{
+cinemaofindia.org/wiki/Helen
+}}}
+
+You will get a prompt which says
+
+The page Helen does not exist. You can create it here.
+Click on Create this page and a new page for Helen will be created which you can then start adding content 
+
+
+== 2. Editing and existing entry ==
+
+There is a complete list of commands that may be used here
+
+http://cinemaofindia.org/wiki/WikiFormatting
+
+Once you go to a page you may start editing the page
+
+
+
+== 3. Adding a picture ==
+
+To add a picture to the Wiki you need to do the following
+
+a. At the bottom of any page you will find an option which says '''Attach File'''
+b. Click on this and attach a picture in .jpg format not exceeding 2 MB. For instance you have added a picture of Nargis
+c. Then in the content section use the following command {{{[[Image(Nargis.jpg)]]}}}
+d. Please note that the name in the link should be the same a the file name that you have attached
+
+== 4. Embedding a youtube Video ==
+
+Youtube uses a distinct file name for every video it hosts. A typical youtube video will have the following name
+
+http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHx2tPnkkYA
+
+The name of the video in this case is aHx2tPnkkYA
+
+To embed a youtube video just use the following command
+
+{{{
+[[Embed(youtube=aHx2tPnkkYA)]]
+}}}
+
+Basically fill in the name of the youtube video after the equals sign
+
+
+
+== 5. Creating Footnotes ==
+
+If you want to cite an article, use the create footnote command which s basically this
+
+{{{
+[[FootNote( Content of the footnote comes here )]]
+}}}
+
+It will automatically be added
+
+
+== 6. Embedding a video from pad.ma ==
+
+www.pad.ma is a public access digital archive which allows you to link to a particular section of a video
+
+On pad.ma you can choose a segment of a video by marking an in and an out point (Use the editor view)
+
+On the menu button (Wheel) select embed this video and you will get an address such as 
+
+{{{
+<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://pad.ma/CGF/embed?in=0.000&out=261.000&view=player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+}}}
+
+You need to copy a segment of the address namely the portion within quotes
+https://pad.ma/CGF/embed?in=0.000&out=261.000&view=player
+
+and add it to the following command
+
+{{{
+[[Embed(iframe=Add the segment you have copied here)]]
+}}}
+
+
+For instance the film [[Kalpana (1948)|Kalpana]] is available on [[https://pad.ma/CFN/info|pad.ma]]
