There was no page for SandaIgPrimary.co.uk when I searched for it, but the wiki pulled in information about location (based on web host), generated a screenshot and a Description. The description was interesting, as it was pulled from the about.html page, I guess the wiki software checks for an about.html (and others?) from the domain and tries to find a meaningful piece of text. I think it looks for a meta tag description first, but I&#8217;ve never got round to adding one. You can then go on and edit the information in the normal wiki fashion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troutcolor\/155848620\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/69\/155848620_554ade9c23_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"238\" style=\"float:right;border:solid 1px #eee;padding:2px;margin:2px\" alt=\"John @ Sandaig Primary\" \/><\/a>I got to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutus.org\/\">AboutUs wiki<\/a> in an interesting fashion.
