| Wiki coding is relatively simple to learn and use, but it's not always so intuitive, and so it would be a good idea to first read some very brief help guides before adding content.
| | #REDIRECT [[How to edit Halachipedia]] |
| | |
| == Step 1: Create a New Page ==
| |
| * Unlike most websites whereby you create a new page and subsequently connect the new page to the main site via a link, in a wiki you first have to create the link and then the page. When you create the link, it will be to a blank page. Then when you click on this blank page, it will give you the option of adding content, so that it’s no longer blank.
| |
| *Therefore, the first thing to do is decide where your halachik article would belong within our topical categories as displayed on the left sidebar.
| |
| ** For instance, “The Laws of Shema” would fall within the “Prayer” category.
| |
| *Next, you need to create the link. To do this, click the edit tab towards the top of the page. From here you’ll see a large editable text box with all sorts of strange looking coding symbols. Find where you should add your link and surround the title with double brakets
| |
| ** For instance <nowiki>[[Laws of Shema]]</nowiki> = [[Laws of Shema]]
| |
| * A red link means that it's an empty page, which you can then click on and add content
| |
| | |
| == Step 2: Adding Content ==
| |
| *To make a simple page, there are really only a few codes you should know
| |
| # Subtopics have <font color=red><nowiki>==</nowiki></font> before and after <font color=red><nowiki>==</nowiki></font>
| |
| # Bullet points use the asterisk sign <font color=red><nowiki>*</nowiki></font>
| |
| # Numbers use the pound sign <font color=red><nowiki>#</nowiki></font>
| |
| # References require two things:
| |
| ## Each individual reference needs <font color=red><nowiki><ref></nowiki></font> before and <font color=red><nowiki></ref></nowiki></font> afterwards
| |
| ## And, at the very bottom of the page, you must include: <font color=red><nowiki>==Notes== <references/> </nowiki></font>
| |
| | |
| Here's an example:
| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| <tt>
| |
| According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<font color=red>'''<ref>'''E. Miller, ''The Sun'', (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23-5.'''</ref>'''<br/></font>
| |
| The Moon, however, is not so big.<font color=red>'''<ref>'''R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", ''Scientific American'', 46 (April 1978): 44-6.'''</ref>'''<br/></font>
| |
| <br/>
| |
| ==Notes==
| |
| <br/>
| |
| <font color=red>'''<references/></font>
| |
| </tt>
