Handy Hints
Here are a few examples of handy techniques. To make more sense of them, click on "edit" to see the code that produced these examples.
How to strike out text: Put <s> in front of the text, then </s> at the end of the text.
- Example: How to <s>strike out</s> text.
- Result: How to
strike outtext.
How to add references/citations: Put <ref> Title of Reference [URL of reference] </ref> The title can be put after the URL also, but it looks nicer in the reference section when it is put before the URL. The title will not be seen with the text, it will only appear in the references section if there is one.
- Example: <ref>Conservapedia Main Page [http://www.conservapedia.com]</ref>
- Result: (See the References section below.)[1]
How to add a reference section at the end of an article: Put == References == to create the heading. Then on the next line put <references/>. Every page that includes citations should have a references section at the bottom.
- Example:
== References ==
<references/>
- Result: See below, at the bottom of the page.
- Result: (See the References section below.)[2]
How to add a request for a citation:
- Add {{fact}} after the section that needs a citation.
How to set a quote off from the main article:
- Add {{cquote| before the quoted material and }} at the end.
- Result:
| “ | This is what the quoted material would look like. | ” |
OR
- Add <blockquote> before the quoted material and </blockquote> at the end.
- Result:
This is what the quoted material would look like.
I prefer the first option, since it makes it clear that the material is a quotation.
