Revision as of 15:26, 26 January 2002
Talk about how to edit a page here!
This is the /Talk page for the how does one edit a page page. Don't know what a "talk page" is? See Talk Page.
The Quick reference page is concise and helpful, especially with the code producing the results to the left showing already. I like it. --KQ
Best solution yet! --StefanRybo
Yes, I like it a lot. If somebody would just complete the feature list (headers, for example, are missing), I think we should replace the relevant part of how does one edit a page with this. --LMS
Please everyone add missing features here:
- headers
- ascii art integrals
- ...
Where is the discussion of how to create sub-pages, and how to refer to sub pages in links? Also, what are appropriate Sub-pages?
How do I redirect a link to another page - for instance, how to I get all links to CIA to point to Central Intelligence Agency? -- Robert Merkel
To redirect an article, make the entry #REDIRECT ] --KQ
Why doesn't someone revamp the how does one edit a page page with the "quick reference"? The latter is clearly better than the old page. Don't be shy, just do it. --LMS
I just removed the following example from the definition list section:
- Fruit
- pear
- apple
The reason is that neither pear nor apple can serve as the definition of "fruit". The article already contains an example which makes the usage of definition lists clear. The additional indented "apple" has nothing to do with definition lists. --AxelBoldt
What is the escape code for a forward slash? (i.e. '/ ')--branko
Forward slashes aren't special, you can just type them in without escaping. Backslashes aren't special either, except at the end of a line, where the easiest way to escape them is by following them with a &amp;nbsp;.
- Forward slashes are not special And/Or dangerous -- hey, I just created a sub page. The use of the slash like that in Dutch (and hence in the Dutch Misplaced Pages) is quite common.
- Sorry, I should have mentioned that.--branko
- Oh, I see. You have to surround the whole construct with <nowiki> and &lt;/nowiki>, as in <nowiki>And/Or&lt;/nowiki> --AxelBoldt
Is there any way that a link to how does one edit a page could appear automatically on edit pages?
I have seen people use footnotes of some sort (if I remember correctly, most were just hyperlinks to outside pages, like so 1). Are there rules about using footnotes? Are footnotes desirable?--branko
- I haven't seen any rules about footnotes, but personally I don't like the style you use above to refer to outside websites. When I see , I immediately think "footnote" or "references" and go to the end of the article to look up reference number 1. But there is none. I think it would be better to have a decent references section at the end of the article, listing outside sites (with URL, title, author, so that they can be found even if the URL changes), articles and books. If those references are numbered, you could actually use the notation to refer to the first item. --AxelBoldt
- I agree. Is there a way, however, to link from a footnote to the reference it belongs to? In HTML you would use the name-attribute in an a-tag.--branko
- I just spent 20 minutes changing the footnotes in an article to link directly rather than to a name-attribute: all I had was a link, with no author and article name. I agree that having those would be better; however I do not mind if the link directly, as long as the notes are still listed out at the end. My .02. And no, I don't think the name-attributes are working, though you might second the request. --KQ
- I can see that what people use for italics and bold letters are the HTML codes ( etc.) and not the quotation marks that are given in the table. In fact, the quotation marks (or apostrophe or whatever) don't seem to work. Should't this be fixed? I dare not do it myself because I'm not very familiar with this. Calypso
