| '''Editing''' a Wiki page is very easy. Simply click on the "'''edit this page'''" tab at the top (or the edit link on the right or bottom) of a Wiki page. This will bring you to a page with a text box containing the editable text of that page. Alternatively, you can press the "Showpreview" button instead of actually saving the page. You should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. When you have finished, press preview to see how your changes will look. You can also see what changes you have made in comparison to the previous version by pressing the Show changes button. If you're happy with what you see, then press "Save" and your changes will be immediately applied to the article. Don't "sign" edits you make to regular articles (the software keeps track of who makes every change).
| | Note that Wikipedia has a lot of formatting extensions installed that we don't have (or need). |
| | |
| You can also click on the "'''Discussion'''" tab to see the corresponding talk page, which contains comments about the page from other Wikipedia users. Click on the "'''+'''" tab to add a new section, or edit the page in the same way as an article page. When editing talk pages, please sign your change.
| |
| | |
| == Tips on editing EDuke32 articles ==
| |
| | |
| Keep formatting as consistent as possible, especially across articles of the same type. If you are going to do the write-up for an event, see how other events are formatted first. Make use of the wiki's cross-linking features for the first appearance of a term in an article.
| |
| | |
| After making a new page, it's a good idea to:
| |
| *use ''What links here'' (with your page displayed) to check the articles that already link to it, and make sure that they are all expecting the same meaning that you have supplied; and
| |
| *use the Search button to search EDuke32 for your topic title—and possible variants—to find articles that mention it, and make links from them if appropriate.
| |
| | |
| == Minor edits ==
| |
| Until the EDuke32 wiki is near completion, please leave edits marked with their default setting of "minor edit."
| |
| | |
| == Major edits ==
| |
| Until the EDuke32 wiki is near completion, please leave edits marked with their default setting of "minor edit."
| |
| | |
| ==Wiki markup==
| |
| The '''wiki markup''' is the syntax system you can use to format a page on the wiki.
| |
| | |
| In the left column of the table below, you can see what effects are possible. In the right column, you can see how those effects were achieved. In other words, to make text look like it looks in the left column, type it in the format you see in the right column.
| |
| | |
| You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference.

| |

| :See [[MetaWikiPedia:Interwiki_map]] for the list of shortcuts.
| |
| | |
| * Square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a ''space'' (not a pipe) to separate the URL from the link text in the "named" version.
| |
| * In the [[URL]], all symbols must be among:<br/>'''A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ \ / ~ % - + & # ? ! = ( ) @ \x80-\xFF'''
| |
| * URLs must start with the protocol (eg. <nowiki>[http://www.nupedia.com], not [www.nupedia.com]</nowiki>)
| |
| * If a URL contains a character not in this list, it should be encoded by using a percent sign (%) followed by the [[hexadecimal|hex]] code of the character, which can be found in the table of [[ASCII#ASCII printable characters|ASCII printable characters]]. For example, the caret character (^) would be encoded in a URL as '''%5E'''.
| |
| * There is a class that can be used to remove the arrow image from the external link. It is used in [[Template:Ref]] to stop the URL from expanding during printing. It should '''never''' be used in the main body of an article. However, there is an exception: wikilinks in Image markup. An example of the markup is as follows:
| |
| ** Markup: <nowiki><span class="plainlinksneverexpand"> [http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/winobj.shtml WinObj]</span></nowiki>
| |
| ** Display: <span class="plainlinksneverexpand"> [http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/winobj.shtml WinObj] </span>

| ===Table of contents===
| |
| <!-- ==== Placement of the Table of Contents (TOC) ==== -->
| |
| At the current status of the wiki markup language, having at least four headers on a page triggers the TOC to appear in front of the first header (or after introductory sections). Putting <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> anywhere forces the TOC to appear at that point (instead of just before the first header). Putting <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> anywhere forces the TOC to disappear. See also [[Wikipedia:Section#Compact_TOC|compact TOC]] for alphabet and year headings.
| |
| <!--
| |
| THE TEXT BELOW IS COMMENTED OUT SINCE THE DESCRIBED TECHNIQUE
| |
| DOESN'T WORK AFTER UPGRADING TO MEDIAWIKI 1.5
| |
| | |
| ==== Keeping headings out of the Table of Contents ====
| |
| | |
| If you want some subheadings to not appear in the Table of Contents, then make the following replacements.
| |
| | |
| Replace <nowiki> == Header 2 == with <h2> Header 2 </h2> </nowiki>
| |
| | |
| Replace <nowiki> === Header 3 === with <h3> Header 3 </h3> </nowiki>
| |
| | |
| And so forth.
| |
| | |
| For example, notice that the following header has the same font as the other subheaders to this "Tables" section, but the following header does not appear in the Table of Contents for this page.
| |
| | |
| <h4> This header has the h4 font, but is NOT in the Table of Contents (actually, it is)</h4>
| |
| | |
| This effect is obtained by the following line of code.
| |
| | |
| <code><nowiki><h4> This header has the h4 font, but is NOT in the Table of Contents </h4></nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| Note that when editing by section, this approach places the text between the tags in the subsequent section, not the previous section. To edit this text, click the edit link next to "Tables", not the one above.
| |
| -->
| |
| | |
| === Tables ===
| |
| There are two ways to build tables:
| |
| *in special Wiki-markup (see [[Help:Table]])
| |
| *with the usual HTML elements: <table>, <tr>, <td> or <th>.
| |
| | |
| For the latter, and a discussion on when tables are appropriate, see [[Wikipedia:How to use tables]].

| '''NUMBEROFARTICLES''' is the number of pages in the main namespace which contain a link and are not a redirect--in other words, it is the number of articles, stubs containing a link, and disambiguation pages.
| |
| | |
| '''CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN''' is the genitive (possessive) grammatical form of the month name, as used in some languages; '''CURRENTMONTHNAME''' is the nominative (subject) form, as usually seen in English.
| |
| | |
| In languages where it makes a difference, you can use constructs like <nowiki>{{grammar:case|word}}</nowiki> to convert a word from the nominative case to some other case. For example, <nowiki>{{grammar:genitive|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}}}</nowiki> means the same as <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}}</nowiki>. <!-- Is there a reference for this, other than the source code (for example, phase3/languages/Lnaguage*.php) ? -->

| ===Templates===
| |
| | |
| The [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software used by Wikipedia has support for templates. This means standardized text chunks (such as [[Wikipedia:Template messages|boilerplate]] text) can be inserted into articles. For example, typing <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> will appear as "''This article is a [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by [[Wikipedia:Stub|expanding it]].''" when the page is saved. See [[Wikipedia:Template messages]] for the complete list. Other commonly used templates are: <nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki> for disambiguation pages, <nowiki>{{spoiler}}</nowiki> for spoiler warnings and <nowiki>{{sectstub}}</nowiki> like an article stub but for a section. There are many subject-specific stubs for example: <nowiki> {{Geo-stub}}, {{Hist-stub}}, and {{Linux-stub}}</nowiki>. For a complete list of stubs see [[WP:WSS/ST]].

| ===Hiding the edit links===
| |
| | |
| Insert '''<nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki>''' into the document to suppress the edit links that appear next to every section header.
