2. How can I insert images? 

Insert $wgRawHtml = true; into the file LocalSettings.php in your main MediaWiki directory and the wiki will allow you to insert raw unchecked HTML. However, you must embed your html within the ... tags so that MediaWiki can differentiate it.

Add the following entry to LocalSettings.php file in order to open external links in a new window / tab.

$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';

I asked about this athte help desk.

1. How can I indent paragraphs?

Insert:

 P { text-indent: 2em }
Put  Mediawiki:common.css on your main page, or wherever you  want to use for your administrator page so you can easily find it again.
