| − | 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 to it 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 you 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 asterik sign <nowiki>*</nowiki>
| |
| − | # Numbers use the pound sign <nowiki>#</nowiki>
| |
| − | # References require two things:
| |
| − | ## Each individual reference needs <nowiki><ref> before and </ref> afterwards</nowiki>
| |
| − | ## And, at the very bottom of the page, you must include: <nowiki>==Notes==
| |
| − | <references/> </nowiki>
| |
| − | # 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>
