== Editing Summary ==
 +
 +
== NOTE : ==
 +
 +
 +
=== Mediawiki Links ===
 +
The way mediawiki works is by creating links and the links themselves point to a new blank page.
 +
the text in which you put into the link is also the page, and the title.
 +
 +
So when you are trying to create a new page, try to make a link/ title/ page unique.
 +
 +
Example under a heading which is DNE.
 +
You would have "servers", and then under another heading Stephen Street you have "servers",
 +
what would happen would that both links would point to the same page.
 +
 +
so for both links/ pages, it would be best to name them "DNE servers" and "Stephen Street servers".
 +
 +
please refer to the other link ontop of this page about Internal Links.
 +
on how to create a link and how to avoid this problem.
 +
 +
 +
 +
=== Files and Images ===
 +
 +
If you want to include images or files onto your page, click Upload Image in the Toolbox menu. Then link to that item using the link ((Image:Imagename.jpg)) where ) is a a square bracket ].
 +
 +
=== HTML ===
 +
 +
I have enabled mediawiki to accept html codes if you want to use it still.
 +
 +
just start it with the normal html code
 +
 +
< html >
 +
 +
and to end it use
 +
 +
< /html >
 +
 +
(no spacings)
 +
 +
 +
 +
== Organizing your writing -- sections, paragraphs, lists and lines ==
 +

Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them.

 +
(<nowiki><p></nowiki> disables this paragraphing until <nowiki></p></nowiki> or the end  of the section)

(in Cologne Blue two newlines and a div tag give just one newline; in the order newline, div tag, newline, the result is two newlines)

You can make the wikitext more readable by putting in newlines.

Editing Summary

NOTE :

Mediawiki Links

The way mediawiki works is by creating links and the links themselves point to a new blank page. the text in which you put into the link is also the page, and the title.

So when you are trying to create a new page, try to make a link/ title/ page unique.

Example under a heading which is DNE. You would have "servers", and then under another heading Stephen Street you have "servers", what would happen would that both links would point to the same page.

so for both links/ pages, it would be best to name them "DNE servers" and "Stephen Street servers".

please refer to the other link ontop of this page about Internal Links. on how to create a link and how to avoid this problem.


Files and Images

If you want to include images or files onto your page, click Upload Image in the Toolbox menu. Then link to that item using the link ((Image:Imagename.jpg)) where ) is a a square bracket ].

HTML

I have enabled mediawiki to accept html codes if you want to use it still.

just start it with the normal html code

< html >

and to end it use

< /html >

(no spacings)


Organizing your writing -- sections, paragraphs, lists and lines

What it looks like What you type
Sections and subsections

Start sections with header lines

Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them.

Subsection

Sub-subsection

==== Sub-subsection ====
Newline

A single newline has no effect on the layout.

But an empty line starts a new paragraph, or ends a list or indented part. (<p> disables this paragraphing until </p> or the end of the section)

(in Cologne Blue two newlines and a div tag give just one newline; in the order newline, div tag, newline, the result is two newlines)

You can make the wikitext more readable by putting in newlines. You might find this causes future problems -- see w:Wikipedia:Don't use line breaks for details.

General notes:

  • Enclose the target name in double square brackets -- "[[" and "]]"
  • First letter of target name is automatically capitalized
  • Spaces are represented as underscores (but don't do underscores yourself)
  • Links to nonexistent pages are shown in red -- MediaWiki User's Guide: Starting a new page tells about creating the page.
  • When the mouse cursor "hovers" over the link, you see a "hover box" containing...
What it looks like What you type
Basic

Sue is reading the official position (or Official positions). 

Sue is reading the 
[[official position]]
(or [[Official position]]s).
Interwiki linking

A link to the page on another wiki (e.g. the same subject in another language) 

*For more info see [[m:Help:Interwiki linking]].
*[[:fr:Wikipédia:Aide]].
Section of page

If the section doesn't exist, the link goes to the top of the page. If there are multiple sections by the same name, link to specific ones by adding how many times that header has alreay appeared (e.g. if there are 3 sections entitled "Example header," and you wish to link to the third one, then use [[#Example section 3]]. For more info, see Help:Editing FAQ. 

*[[List of cities by country#Morocco]].
*[[List of cities by country#Sealand]].











piped link





Use a pipe "|" to create a link label: 





*[[Help:Links|About Links]]
*[[List of cities by country#Morocco|
Cities in Morocco]]










"blank" pipes hide:




After you save, the server automatically fills in the link label.





*In parentheses: [[kingdom (biology)|]]. 
*Namespace: [[Meta:Requests for adminship|]].









Links to nonexistent pages





The weather in London is a page that doesn't exist yet.



    

  • You can create it by clicking on the link.

    • 

  • Have a look at how to start a page guide and the naming conventions page for your project.

    • 




[[The weather in London]] is a page
that doesn't exist yet.










Link to yourself





You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:





 Your user name: Karl Wick



 Or your user name plus date/time: Karl Wick 08:10 Oct 5, 2002 (UTC)





The server will fill in the link after you save.




You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:
: Your user name: ~~~
: Or your user name plus date/time: ~~~~











Redirect 





one article title to another with this special link.




#REDIRECT [[United States]]











"Magic" links







ISBN 0123456789X
RFC 123













Media links





To include links to non-image uploads such as sounds, use a "media" link.

Sound






[[media:Sg_mrob.ogg|Sound]]












Links to Categories





To include links to a Category page.

Category:English documentation






[[:Category:English documentation]]












Dates








Use links for dates, so everyone can set their own display order. Use Special:Preferences to change your own date display setting.




[[July 20]], [[1969]] , [[20 July]] [[1969]]
and [[1969]]-[[07-20]]

will all appear as 20 July-1969 if you set your date display preference to 1 January 2001.










Special pages





"What links here" and "Recent changes" can be linked as:

Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Contents and
Special:Recentchangeslinked/Help:Contents




[[Special:Whatlinkshere/
Help:Editing]] and
[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/
Help:Editing]]
