Hello, students! This page is a quick guide to working on Wikipedia for people here as part of school and university projects . Hopefully, if you're here with an organized project, you'll know what you're intended to do - whether that be creating a new article on a personal topic, or editing a specific one.
Template:Done/See also – Inline icon templates by shape and color – a more compact presentation of essentially the same list of templates Wikipedia:Template index/Talk namespace – a broader set of templates, including large banners, etc.
The content from a template titled Template:foo can be added into a Wikipedia page by editing a page and typing {{foo}} into it. When then viewing the page, {{foo}} is automatically replaced by the content of the page "Template:foo". If the page "Template:foo" is later altered, all the pages with {{foo}} in them will change automatically.
The MediaWiki software, which drives Wikipedia, allows the use of a subset of HTML 5 elements, or tags and their attributes, for presentation formatting. [1] However, most HTML functionality can be replicated using equivalent wiki markup or templates.
The talk page associated with a page in another namespace is named by adding "talk" after the namespace label; for example, the talk page for Wikipedia:About is called Wikipedia talk:About. When viewing an article (or any other non-talk page) on the Wikipedia, a link to the corresponding talk page appears on the "Talk" tab at the top of the page.
You get to the talk page by clicking the "Talk" tab at the top of the article. If the tab shows up in red, it just means no one has commented yet; feel free to start a discussion. When you start a new discussion topic, put it at the bottom of the talk page. The best way to do this is by clicking the "Add topic" tab at the top of the page.
- Your computer's file manager will open. Find and select the file or image you'd like to attach. Click Open. The file or image will be attached below the body of the email. If you'd like to insert an image directly into the body of an email, check out the steps in the "Insert images into an email" section of this article.
If you disagree with an edit, it might be best to open a discussion on the article's talk page, politely explaining why you believe your version is better. Please use policy and guideline-based arguments on the talk pages. Sometimes other editors may add a template pointing to a problem, rather than making any change to the article content. [6]
