[edit] Contributing
There are a few ways to contribute. First I recommend setting up an acount. If you are on the Wiki pages (the ones with the flower in the top-left) click "log in /create account" on the top-right of the screen. Follow the instructions. NB: The e-mail may take some time to be delivered at the moment (up to 12hrs!). If you didn't get yours contact me.
Once you've done that you can either 1. type the web address for the wiki (http://www.gredil.net/wiki/) (remove the "MainPage" on the end if it's there) and on the end put the name of the page you want to create (eg. http://www.gredil.net/wiki/MyCoolPage). It will then ask you if you want to create that page and you can go from there. Once you've got that far i'll give you some more tips. 2. do a search for the name of the page you want to create in the search box on the left. If it doesn't find a page with that name it will ask if you want to create it. You can go from there.
Click of the "help" link on the left for details of adding/editing content on the pages. Just have a play around with your pages and see what you can do.
[edit] Images
I just looked at the adding photos thing and it's pretty easy:
Go to http://www.gredil.net/wiki/Special:Upload (Or click "Upload File" in the toolbox on the left menu)
Once you have uploaded a file (eg. MyCoolPhoto.jpeg) you can go to your page (eg http://www.gredil.net/wiki/MyCoolPage), click "edit" and type in something like
[[Image:MyCoolPhoto.jpeg]]
(including the square brackets).
