[edit]![]()
By now you've figured out a lot of things: how to setup a username, and perhaps how to edit an article. There's lots of cool things to learn how to do within Wikipedia. This template I made by hand! You can make your own items too to help further our goal. I've provided a list of helpful things to get you started. They are just the beginning of things you'll need to know. Should you need more help, all you have to do is ask. Sometimes getting started is all the help you need. Here are a few places to learn how to do just that: Some additional links of interest:
These links will get you going as far as starting with Wikipedia. Don't become another Wikipedia robot! Get personal! While that doesn't mean take everything personally, but let you show through in your commenting. Setup your Userpage, let us know who you are, where you from... in general, what makes you tick! No need to give out droves of personal information, just "Hi! I'm Bob (or Jane)! I'm from (someplace) I'm interested in (subjects)" will suffice. Show that you are a Real person on the other side of this network! To begin editing, click on your username at the top of the window. Discussion is a major factor of Wikipedia. Don't be afraid to talk! Just remember to sign your posts with ~~~~, or four (4) tildes. It will translate into your username followed by a timestamp.
Now, as part of an online community, there are some rules and such that everyone needs to be aware of. A full list of those are availble here. However, there are a few I want to share with you:
I hope you've found these links helpful. These are by no means the end of the information available, but it is a start. Should you need help, remember I am here for your assistance. Ask a question if you need, but above all remember... |
