Howtos

[edit]

Just my personal reference cheat sheet. The stuff I never remember when I need it, and which can be hard to dig out of the official Help pages.

Redirect

[edit]
#REDIRECT [[WalkThisWay]]
is generated by entering:
{{For|the other use of the word|This Article (here)}}
is generated by entering:
{{about|the radio show|Mooney (radio programme)|the aircraft manufacturer|Mooney Aviation Company}}
"Above all, do not pipe the link. Show the entire linked article title as is."

Wikisourcecodequoting

[edit]
<tt><nowiki> Put it Here </nowiki></tt>
Now try and figure out the wikisource for that line without looking!:-)
This is probably way outdated. See next item for a modern template style:

Quoting larger blocks of Wiki-Markup

[edit]
::{{pre2|style=padding:0.2em|<nowiki>
Then just
put it all
here
(colons for indention are optional, of course)
</nowiki>}}

Footnotes

[edit]
{{refn| Put your Text here. |group=Note}}

Displaying the</nowiki>tag in these howtos

[edit]
The tag will just render as text if there isn't an "open"<nowiki>tag pending.
To show it after a<nowiki>tag therefore requires to:
  1. suspend the "nowiki-state"
  2. put the</nowiki>text
  3. resume the "nowiki-state"
Code:</nowiki></nowiki><nowiki>

<blockquote style= "background-color:#E0E0E0; padding-left:0.8em; margin:0;" >
If you know a better way to transfer text blocks to a talkpage let me know!

The{{talkquote|<...>}}template looks promising!
