Arpepper: Created page with tutorial nabbed from somewhere else.

2017-10-11T19:39:40Z

Created page with tutorial nabbed from somewhere else.

New page

==<center>Arpepper's personal mini-tutorial/reference</center>==
<div style="padding: 5px; background: #B0D360; border: 1px solid #C35817;">
=== My personal reference page for (missing) formatting info ===

I find it too difficult to track down some of these things, so, for now at least (ie. until someone directs me to an easily accessible quick-reference guide) I have copied portions of the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|Wikipedia Tutorial]] here.

''[[User:Arpepper|Arpepper]] ([[User talk:Arpepper|talk]]) 15:39, 11 October 2017 (EDT)''
===Headings and subheadings===
Headings can be created like this:
*<tt><nowiki>==Top level heading==</nowiki></tt> (2 equals signs)
*<tt><nowiki>===Subheading===</nowiki></tt> (3 equals signs)
*<tt><nowiki>====Another level down====</nowiki></tt> (4 equals signs)
===Indenting===

There are several ways of indenting in Wikipedia:

====Plain indentations====
A [[newline]] (pressing '''Enter''' or '''Return''') marks the end of the indented paragraph.

For example:
:<tt>This is aligned all the way to the left.</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>:</nowiki>This is indented slightly.</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>::</nowiki>This is indented more.</tt>
is shown as:
:This is aligned all the way to the left.
::This is indented slightly.
:::This is indented more.

====Bullet points====
A brief example:
:<tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>First list item</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>Second list item</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>**</nowiki>Sub-list item under second</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>Third list item</tt>

Which is shown as:
:*First list item
:*Second list item
:**Sub-list item under second
:*Third list item

====Numbered items====
Example:
:<tt><nowiki>#</nowiki>First item</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>#</nowiki>Second item</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>##</nowiki>Sub-item under second item</tt>
:<tt><nowiki>#</nowiki>Third item</tt>

Shows up as:
:#First item
:#Second item
:##Sub-item under second item
:#Third item

===Example discussion===
Here is an example of a well-formatted discussion:

Hi. I have a question about this article. I'm pretty sure purple elephants only live in New York! [[Wikipedia:User page|JayRandumWikiUser]] 02:49, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:Well, last time I was in New York, the elephants I saw were green. — [[Wikipedia:User page|try2BEEhelpful]] 17:28, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
::I think you should find a source for your claims. [[Wikipedia:User page|Living × Skepticism]] 20:53, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:::Okay, these elephant journals agree with me:
:::* ''Elephants Monthly''
:::* ''Elephants World''
:::— [[Wikipedia:User page|try2BEEhelpful]] 19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:I live in Australia, where the elephants look like kangaroos! The people below agree with my statement: [[Wikipedia:User page|-DontGdayMateMe]] 17:28, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:# [[Zoophilia|ElefantLuvr]] 01:22, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:# [[Wikipedia:User page|AisleVoteOnAnything]] 05:41, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:# [[Wikipedia:User page|alittlebehindthetimes]] 18:39, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Note that if you want to include a list in your comments, add colons before each item, for example:

<nowiki>:::Okay, these elephant journals agree with me:
:::* ''Elephants Monthly''
:::* ''Elephants World''
:::— [[Wikipedia:User page|try2BEEhelpful]] 19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)</nowiki>

Also, signing your message off is done by:
* Writing <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> for the name ([[Wikipedia:User page|try2BEEhelpful]]), or
* Writing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> for the name and date ([[Wikipedia:User page|try2BEEhelpful]] 19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)), or
* Writing <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki> for the date only (19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)).

You should usually sign with both name and date but votes are often signed with names only.

===Example link to a redirect page===

Using the following will allow you to "stop" at the redirect page, allowing you to view its history and probably, in the extreme, change it from a redirect to a non-redirect page. The sample page I have chosen to view is "safety belt".

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=safety_belt&redirect=no [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=safety_belt&redirect=no]

''This isn't really a formatting tip, however, so would properly belong in a "different tutorial".''

===Popups===

See [[Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups|popups]] for some helpful hints, especially for doing rv correctly.
