Wikipedia editing tutorial – Introduction

Becoming a Wikipedia editor: an overview

Wikipedia is a collaboratively edited encyclopedia to whichyou can contribute. This tutorial will help you become aWikipedia contributor.

The following pages will give you guidance about the styleand content of Wikipedia articles, and tell you about theWikipedia community and important Wikipedia policies andconventions. This is a basic tutorial, not an extensive manual. If you wantmore details, there are links to other pages for moreinformation. To read them as you go along, you can openthem in a separate browser window or tab.

There are links to "sandbox" pages where you can practice what you're learning. Try things out and play around!Nobody will mind if you mess up and experiment in these practice areas.

So, let's learn about editing!Note: The tutorial assumes you are using the default page layout. If you're logged in and have changed your preferences, the location of

links may differ.

Click the "Edit" tab to change an article

With the exception of a few protected pages,every page has an "Edit " tab which lets youedit the page you are looking at. It isWikipedia's most basic feature, and allowsyou to make corrections and add facts toarticles. If you add information to an article,please provide references, becauseunreferenced facts can be removed.

To practice editing, go to the sandbox andclick the "Edit" tab. When you click the"Edit" tab, that will open an editing windowcontaining the text for that page. Type insomething fun and interesting, or just replace words for your own words.". Now click the Save page button and seewhat you have done!

Edit summaryYour first practice edit (above) left off two steps that you should do if you are editing an article or other page thatpeople will read. So click the "Edit" tab again, enter some text, and then do those two additional steps. First, any time you edit a page, it is considered good etiquette (or "Wikiquette") to enter a explanation of yourchanges in the Edit summary box, which you'll find below the edit window. It's okay for your explanation to bequite short. For example, if you are making a spelling correction, you might just type "typo". Also, if the change youhave made to a page is minor, such as correcting a spelling or grammar error, it's helpful if you check the box "Thisis a minor edit". [This box is only available if you have logged in.] For your sandbox edit, you probably want an editsummary such as "Testing".

Show preview

The "Show preview" button is right next to the "save page" button and below the editsummary field.

Second, you should always use theShow preview button. After you'veentered a change in the edit box for thesandbox, click the '' button instead ofSave Page. This lets you to see whatthe page will look like after your edit,before you actually save. We all makemistakes; this feature helps you catch them before other people see them. Using Show Preview before saving alsolets you try format changes and other edits without cluttering up the page history. Do not forget to save your editsafter previewing, though!

Introduction Editing Formatting Wikipedia links Citing sources Talk pages Keep in mind Registration Wrap-up

A video (screencast) showing how to make bold and italics

Formatting a Wikipedia article is abit different from writing on a standardword processor. Instead of a strictWYSIWYG approach ("What You SeeIs What You Get"), Wikipedia usestext codes to create particular elementsof the page (e.g., headings). Thismarkup language is known asWikitext (or Wiki-markup) and isdesigned for ease of editing.

Bold and italics

The most commonly used wiki tags arebold and italics. Bolding anditalicizing are done by surrounding aword or phrase with multipleapostrophes ('):

You type You get

''italic'' italic

'''bold''' bold

'''''bold italic''''' bold italic

On Wikipedia, the names of an article's subject are written in bold when they are first mentioned in the article. Forexample, the article Elizabeth II begins:

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, born 21 April 1926) is the reigning queen and head of state of 16independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms: ...

Italics may be used for the names of books, movies, albums, and computer/video game titles. If the first mention ofthe subject of an article is also a book or movie title, then bold italic is used.For more information about using bold and italics, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Page 6: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Formatting 4

Headings and subheadingsHeadings and subheadings are a way to improve the organization of an article. If you can see two or more distincttopics being discussed, with more than a couple paragraphs for each, you can make the article more readable byinserting a heading for each topic - that is, making each into its own section.Headings are created like this:

You type You get

==Heading== Heading===Subheading=== Subheading

If an article has at least four headings, a table of contents will automatically be generated. Try creating a heading inthis page's /sandbox/. It will be added automatically to the table of contents for the page, assuming three othersalready exist.

HTML Wikitext contains all the features required to follow Wikipedia's formatting conventions and knowledge of HTMLcode is not necessary, although it is often used for more specific formatting such as using colors, text and paragraphstyles, and page layout.See How to edit a page or the Cheatsheet for more on editing a page.You can also check out an annotated example page.

Introduction Editing Formatting Wikipedia links Citing sources Talk pages Keep in mind Registration Wrap-up

A video tutorial about the basics of wiki markup, including creating links

Linking Wikipedia articles together isvery important. These easily createdlinks allow users to jump toinformation related to the article theyare reading, greatly adding toWikipedia's usefullness.

How to link

To make a link to another Wikipediapage (called a wiki link), put it indouble square brackets, like this:

[[Sandbox]]

which the reader will see, after yousave your edit, as this: Sandbox

If you want to link to an article, butdisplay some other text for the link,you can do so by adding the pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on English-layout and other keyboards)followed by the alternative name. For example:

[[Target page|display text]]

will display as this: display textYou can make a link to a specific section of a page like so:

[[Target page#Target section|display text]]

which will display as this: display textIf you want the display text of the link to appear in italics or bold, nest the double square brackets for the link withinthe multiple apostrophes that delimit the italicized or bold text, like this:

''[[War and Peace]]''

which will display as this: War and Peace

Please check your links to ensure they point to the correct article. For example, Apple points to the article about thefruit, while Apple Inc. is the title of the article about the computer manufacturer. There are also "disambiguation"pages, which are not articles, but rather are pages which contain links to articles with similar titles. Some, such asApple (disambiguation) are obvious, while others such as Georgia use generic titles. These differing titles are wherepiped links are especially useful. For example, a wikilink of Georgia (country) is much less readable than a pipedlink of Georgia, though both take the reader to the same place.

Page 8: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Wikipedia links 6

When to linkAdding links to an article makes it more useful, but too many links can be distracting. (Lead sections often havemore links than other sections of articles.) To avoid excessive links, you should normally create a link, in an article,only where the first occurrence of a word or phrase occurs. And you should not link common words such as "state"and "world", even though Wikipedia has articles for those words.Looking at other Wikipedia articles can help you learn when to add links. You can find a list of high quality articleson the featured articles page.

CategoriesYou can also put the article in a category with others in a related topic. Near the bottom of the article, type[[Category:]], and put the name of the category between the colon and the brackets. It is very important to put in the correct categories so that other people can easily find your work. The bestway to find which categories to put in is to look at pages on similar subjects, and check which categories they use.For example if you write an article about a type of tree, you may look at an article on another type of tree to seewhich categories could be appropriate.For more information, see Wikipedia:Categorization

Introduction Editing Formatting Wikipedia links Citing sources Talk pages Keep in mind Registration Wrap-up

As stated in About Wikipedia, "if you add information to an article, be sure to include your references, asunreferenced facts are subject to removal." It is best to use inline citations so that other editors and readers can verifythe information you add. Also, make sure that every source you use is trustworthy and authoritative.

Footnotes The easiest way to create an inline citation is with a footnote. You can create a footnotes with Wiki markup, byadding ref tags around your source, like this:

<ref>Your Source</ref>If you're adding the first footnote to an article, you also need to make sure that there is text that tells Wikipedia todisplay footnotes. That text will look like this:

{{Reflist}} or <references/>.That text should be immediately below the section heading ==References==. If that section doesn't exist, you willneed to add it (both the heading and either the "Reflist" or "references" text above). Place the new section near thebottom of the article, just above the "External links" section (if that exists).Once you have saved your edit, the ref tags will convert your source into a footnote reference (like this one[1] ), ifthere is a References section to display footnotes.

Page 9: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources 7

If your source is available online, you should create an external link to the web page where the source can befound. (Do not use other Wikipedia articles as sources; by "online" we mean "on a non-Wikipedia website".)To create a basic external link to your source, place the website address (URL) within single square brackets alongwith some text, which the reader will see as a link. For example:

<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/article_name.html Article in The New York Times]</ref>Though it is not required, it is highly recommended to provide more information than that in a footnote. Here is amore complete footnote:

<ref>Name of author, [http://www.nytimes.com/article_name.html "Title of

article"], ''The New York Times'', date</ref>

It is not recommended to use bare URLs for your external link references, because of link rot.Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources for further instructions on writing footnotes. Also, there are templates that helpwith the proper formatting of references (footnotes), see Wikipedia:Citation templates for further details.

External links section Many Wikipedia articles have a separate section called External links. This section is for linking to websites withsignificant and reliable additional information on the article's topic. Only a relatively few, very relevant externallinks are appropriate for this section: see the guideline Wikipedia:External links for details. If an article already hasmore than a few links in the "External links" section, and you're an inexperienced editor, you probably shouldsuggest any new links on the article's Discussion (talk) page before actually adding one.To add a new external link, just type, inside a single set of brackets, the full URL for the link, followed by a spaceand the text that will be visible. For example:

[http://www.example.com/ Official website]

will display the following, whilst linking to the full URL: Official website [2]

Introduction Editing Formatting Wikipedia links Citing sources Talk pages Keep in mind Registration Wrap-up

Talk pages are a key feature of Wikipedia, offering the ability to discuss articles and other issues with otherWikipedians. They are not to be used as a chat room, soapbox, battleground or for general discussion of the articletopic.If you have a question, concern or comment related to improving an article put a note in the article's talk page andnot in the article itself. You do that by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the page. Do not worry if the linkshows up in red; it is all right to create the talk page if it does not already exist.If you are responding to someone else's remarks, put your comment below theirs. You should indent it properly (seesection below). If you're not responding to someone else, but are posting about something new, use the "Newsection" tab at the top of the talk page to create a new section, which automatically goes at the bottom of the page. You should always sign your comments by typing ~~~~ for your username plus a time signature. Then, when youclick "Save page", your signature will be inserted automatically. Otherwise your posting will still appear but withoutyour name. (For your convenience, there is a button at the top of the edit box with a signature icon which inserts"--~~~~" when clicked.)If you do not have a username account, or if you have one but have not logged in, your computer's external IPaddress will be used instead as your signature, when you type ~~~~ and save your edit. And in such cases, whetheror not you sign your comment, your IP address will be recorded (in the page history) as having made the edit. If youdon't want your IP address recorded by Wikipedia in a way that everyone can see it, then you should get a usernameby creating an account. (It is 100% free.)

User talk pages Every editor (every person with a username) has a user talk page on which other contributors can leave messages.This includes contributors who have not created an account. If someone has left you a message, you will see a noteacross the top of Wikipedia pages (if you're signed in) saying "You have new messages", with a link to your usertalk page.You can reply in either of two ways. One is to put a message on the user talk page of the person you are replying to.The other is to put your reply on your own talk page beneath the original message. Both are common on Wikipedia;however, be aware that replying on your own talk page runs the risk that your reply won't be seen, if the user doesnot look at your talk page again. If you intend to use this approach, it is a good idea to post a notice to that effect, atthe top of your talk page, so people know they have to keep an eye on the page to see your response, rather thangetting your response on their page.

Page 11: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Talk pages 9

Indenting Indenting can improve the layout of a discussion considerably, making it much easier to read. A standard practice isto indent your reply one level deeper than the person you are replying to. There are several ways of indenting in Wikipedia:

Plain indentations The simplest way of indenting is to place a colon (:) at the beginning of a line. The more colons you put, the furtherindented the text will be. A newline (pressing Enter or Return) marks the end of the indented paragraph.For example:

This is aligned all the way to the left.

: This is indented slightly.

:: This is indented more.

is shown as: This is aligned all the way to the left.

This is indented slightly. This is indented more.

Bullet pointsYou can also indent using bullets, which are also used for lists. To insert a bullet (when your edit is saved), type anasterisk (*). Similar to indentation, more asterisks in front of a paragraph means more indentation.A brief example:

* First list item

* Second list item

** Sub-list item under second

* Third list item

Which is shown as: • First list item • Second list item

• Sub-list item under second • Third list item

Numbered items You can also create numbered lists. For this, use the number sign or "octothorpe" (#). This is usually used for pollsand voting, and otherwise is fairly rare. Again, you can affect the indent of the number by the number of #s you use.Example:

# First item

# Second item

## Sub-item under second item

# Third item

Shows up as: 1. First item

Page 12: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Talk pages 10

2. Second item 1. Sub-item under second item

3. Third item

Example discussion Here is an example of a well-formatted discussion:

Hi. I have a question about this article. I'm pretty sure purple elephants only live in New York! JayRandumWikiUser02:49, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Well, last time I was in New York, the elephants I saw were green. — try2BEEhelpful 17:28, 11 Dec 2003(UTC)

I think you should find a source for your claims. Living × Skepticism 20:53, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC) Okay, these elephant journals agree with me:

• Elephants Monthly• Elephants World

— try2BEEhelpful 19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)I live in Australia, where the elephants look like kangaroos! The people below agree with my statement:-DontGdayMateMe 17:28, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

1. ElefantLuvr 01:22, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)2. AisleVoteOnAnything 05:41, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)3. alittlebehindthetimes 18:39, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Note that if you want to include a list in your comments, add colons before each item, for example: ::: Okay, these elephant journals agree with me:

::: * ''Elephants Monthly''

::: * ''Elephants World''

::: ~~~~

Again, signing your message (posting) is done by: • Writing ~~~~ for your name and date (try2BEEhelpful 19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC))You can add a signature only, or a date only, but this is unusual. Here's how: • Writing ~~~ for the name (try2BEEhelpful), or• Writing ~~~~~ for the date only (19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)). Votes are often signed with names only.

Page 13: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Talk pages 11

Experiment Experiment! This time, instead of editing a sandbox, leave a message on the talk page by clicking "Discuss thispage" or "Discussion". Remember to sign your user name. You might want to try responding to someone else's post.Remember, you should use "Show preview" to see if your formatting works before you save. Try a sample discussion at this page's Discussion page

Other project pages In addition to Talk pages, there are some other categories of behind-the-scenes pages that help Wikipedianscommunicate with each other, and serve a variety of other roles in building Wikipedia. These different areas areoften referred to as namespaces — as in, "the Talk namespace".Pages in the Wikipedia namespace (also known as the "Project namespace") provide information about Wikipediaand how to use it.Content written in a Template page will be displayed in articles that contain the corresponding template reference.For example, the content written in Template:Pp-protected will appear in any article that contains the{{pp-protected}} tag. Take a look at Wikipedia:Template messages to see what templates have already been created.You can use the corresponding tags in articles. You can also create new templates.All of these project pages also have Talk pages of their own. For more information, see Wikipedia:Namespace

Introduction Editing Formatting Wikipedia links Citing sources Talk pages Keep in mind Registration Wrap-up

There are some things to keep in mind when editing Wikipedia.

Editorial policies

Subject matterWikipedia is an editable encyclopedia (along with some topics that would typically be found in an almanac). Hence,articles should consist of encyclopedic information about "notable" subjects. What exactly constitutes notability isthe subject of constant debate on Wikipedia, but in no case should there be (per Wikipedia rules) an article for everyperson on the planet, or for every company that sells anything, or for each street in every town in the world.However, there are sister projects for certain types of non-encyclopedic content.Encyclopedia articles are primarily about the subject, not the words for the subject, so any article that simply definesand explains the usages of a word, or short phrase, as you would find in a typical dictionary, should be contributed tothe Wiktionary sister project instead.Original source text, such as from a public-domain book that you want to post to make it more accessible, should becontributed to one of Wikipedia's other sister projects, Wikisource.For a list of all related projects, see the Complete list of Wikimedia projects.

Page 14: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Keep in mind 12

Wikipedia is also not the place for "original research" — that is, new theories that have not been published in apeer-reviewed journal. For more details about what Wikipedia should include, see What Wikipedia is not andNotability (people).We also tend to discourage authors from writing about themselves or their own accomplishments, as this is a conflictof interest. If you have made notable accomplishments, someone else will write an article about you (eventually).Wikipedia:Autobiography has more detail on this.

Neutral point of viewWikipedia's editorial policy is that articles must be written in "neutral point of view," often abbreviated "NPOV."This policy says that we accept all the significant viewpoints on an issue. Instead of simply stating one perspective,we try to present all relevant viewpoints without judging them. Our aim is to be informative, not persuasive. Ourpolicy does NOT mean that our articles are expected to be 100% "objective," since in any dispute all sides believetheir view to be "true."It is okay to state opinions in articles, but they must be presented as opinions, not as fact. Also, it is a good idea toattribute these opinions, for example "Supporters of this say that..." or "Notable commentator X believes that..." You might hear Wikipedians referring to an article as having a "POV" problem. This is Wikipedia slang for a biasedarticle, or one obviously written from a single perspective. Advertising copy would fall in this category, as would apolitical diatribe. In a less extreme case, an article might have "POV" problems if it spends significantly more timediscussing one view than another view of equivalent significance, even if each view is presented neutrally, or if thearticle gives excessive coverage to a minor viewpoint.If you are going to spend time on controversial articles in subjects like religion or politics, it is important that youread the neutral point of view policy page as soon as possible. You should probably also read the essay Staying coolwhen the editing gets hot. If you are going to spend your time on less emotional topics such math, or video games,you should still read the policies, but it is a less pressing concern. Keep in mind the advice here, and read the fullpolicy if an NPOV issue comes up. See also the NPOV tutorial.

Citing sourcesWikipedia requires that you cite sources for the information you contribute, preferably by adding a footnote, asdiscussed in the "Citing Sources" page of this tutorial. Citations help our readers verify what you have written andfind more information. If any websites would be of particular interest to a reader of an article, they should be listed and linked to in an"External links" section. Books of particular interest should be listed in a "Further reading" section, but only if theywere not used as sources for the article. For more information, see Wikipedia:Citing sources

Page 15: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Keep in mind 13

CopyrightsDo not add copyrighted materials to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright owner. When addinginformation to articles, make sure it is written in your own words. Remember that all information found on theInternet is copyrighted unless the website specifically states otherwise. For more information, see Wikipedia:Copyrights

English dialectsAll common forms of words are welcome on Wikipedia. An abridged version of the policy here could be stated as:

1. Do not edit a page simply to "correct" a spelling that is correct in another language. 2. If the subject of an article is related to the U.S., then U.S. English is preferred:

Child labor laws in the United States3. If the subject is related to an organization using British English (UK, Commonwealth, Ireland, UN, etc.)then British English is preferred.:

On-licence

4. If the subject is not a regional one ("astronomy," for example), the original contributor's usage should befollowed. See American and British English differences if you have difficulty with this.5. The usage should be consistent throughout an article, unless it mentions both US- andBritain/Commonwealth-related topics. In that case, Policies 2 and 3 prevail.6. When you create a new article, generally the most commonly used title is preferred. A simple way of testingthis is to try a Search engine test on one of the common search engines, and see what generates more results.

For a more detailed version of the policy, see Manual of Style (spelling)

ConductWikipedia encourages an atmosphere of friendliness and openness. Of course, in practice there are sometimesdisagreements and even an occasional heated argument, but members of the community are expected to behave in agenerally civil manner.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should always assume good faith on the part of other editors.Do not assume that someone is acting out of spite or malice. If someone does something that upsets you, leave apolite message on the relevant article's talk page or on the user's talk page, and ask why. You may find that you haveavoided a misunderstanding and saved yourself some embarrassment.For a more detailed discussion of conduct, see Wikipedia:Etiquette

Creating articlesWhen creating articles on Wikipedia, try to take the advice given in the tutorial and to follow the policies mentionedhere, such as neutrality. It is important to cite sources to establish the notability of the topic and make the articleverifiable. You need to be registered to directly create an article in the encyclopedia, but if you are not, you can stilluse the articles for creation process.For details on how to create an article, see Wikipedia:Your first article

Page 16: Wikipedia Tutorials

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Keep in mind 14

Renaming articlesIf you find an article that you believe is mis-named, please do not copy and paste the contents of the old article into anew article — among other things, it separates the previous contributions from their edit history (which we need tokeep track of for copyright reasons). The preferred method is to move the page to the new name, you need to beregistered for that. If it is your first move, please read the warnings on the move page carefully, as there are a numberof issues to consider before moving a page. If a "disambiguation" page is involved, it is best to reviewWikipedia:Disambiguation.For more information, see Help:Moving a page

Registering a username is optional, but encouraged.Everyone can contribute to Wikipedia, regardless of whether they choose to register. However, there are severalbenefits to registering a username, including: • The ability to create new articles.• Having an account gives you many extra features, including more editing options and user preferences. One

handy feature is the watchlist, which makes it easier for you to track changes to pages you are interested in.Another is the ability to move or rename a page. (Do not move pages simply through copying and pasting as theedit history is not preserved that way. Instead, ask at the Village pump for a registered user's help.)

• An unregistered user is identified by his or her computer's IP address, which is used as their public identifier whenmaking contributions (and signing comments on talk pages). Your computer's IP address can often be used to findinformation about you, so registering increases your privacy by making your IP address non-visible to othereditors. Also, because IP addresses often change, unregistered users sometimes find it more difficult to gainrespect and recognition from other editors through building a good track record. It can also be more difficult tocarry on conversations with such non-registered users since they lack a unique talk page. For these reasons, manyWikipedians consider registering to indicate a greater willingness by you to stand behind your edits, and yourcomments on discussion pages. This means your contributions to articles and discussion pages will generally begiven more weight.

• Some pages, such as this page, require users to be autoconfirmed before they may be edited. This ability isautomatically given to registered users who have been on Wikipedia for at least four days and have made tenedits, but is not given to unregistered users, regardless of the number of edits made.

• Only registered users are allowed to become administrators (also known as sysops).If you register, do not forget your password or your user name. If you are prone to forgetting these, make sure youenter your email address as part of signing up, so you can have a new password sent to you if you forget your currentone. See Why create an account? for more information.Click here to register [1]

How to registerTo register, click above, or click the Log in/create an account link at the top right corner of any page.You won't be able to (easily) change your username once you choose it, so reading the username policy beforecreating a username is highly recommended.
