Welcome to my sandbox... it's pretty empty atm... but... yeah... you know.... XD
This Wiki and You Part 3: Into the world of Source mode editing
- "Use the source"
- ―War Clown to a person who uses visual mode[src]
Source mode editing is very common to Wiki, while editing you may have noticed two tabs at the top that say Visual and Source. Visual is basic editing but the problem is that it doesn't disclose to you Templates, Userboxes or anything that (besides the information) is extremely crucial in making a good article. This guide will show you not only what is necessary in source mode editing such as bolding, italics among others, but will also delve deeper into source mode showing you more on templates, userboxes ect. So, let's get started.
Basics of Headers
- "After a while, the characters I'm writing begin to feel real to me. That's when I know I'm heading in the right direction."
- ―Alice Hoffman[[src]]
Headers in source mode are extremely basic, to create the headers you'll need to use "=" signs which are required in major and at some stages, even minor source mode edits.
The diagram on the right shows the 5 examples of headers, headers are fairly simple and are necessary in maintaining any article in particular, they aid in spacing out and even making an article neater. Most articles you, the reader, have probably seen consist of these headers. As it goes Header 2, Header 3 and so on, it will each be divided into smaller sections of each part of the article.
Basic Editing (Bolding, Italics, Strokes and Underlines)
- "All you're trying to do in an improvisation is get as much material as possible for the editing room."
- ―Martin Short[[src]]
This diagram right here is what your sourcemode bolding, italics, strikes and underlining would look like. It is very simple to use and contrary to some people's belief, source mode editing with things like headers and basic editing is simple if you have a helpful guide such as this.
Examples: Bolding, then you have italics aswell as striking and even underlining.
Userbox Creation
- "Because of the diverse population of wikipedia, there are also diverse views on userboxes, userbox policy, and other details."
- ―Royalguard11 of Wikipedia[[src]]
Userboxes are general to our Wiki, they "spice up" our pages to make them look even more nice and sometimes show achievements. We'll overlook these Steps ONE-BY-ONE!
Border-C means Border-Color, you can choose a variety of colors using Color Codes.
ID is either the text or the picture on the right of the userbox which can vary.
ID-C stands for the ID-Color which can be chosen from a variety of colors using those HTML colors codes which were linked to previously.
ID-FC is the ID Font Color just in case the user adds text to the userbox ID section.
ID-S means ID-Size, determining the size of the Text in ID.
Info should be fairly obvious but just in case, to simply put it, it is the main text that goes inside the userbox.
Info-C means Info-Color which is the background color by the previously mentioned Info.
Info-FC stands for Info Font Color which is the color for the info-text.
Lastly is the Info-S which is, to put it simply, the size of the Font.
Linking and Quotes
- "I think we did a pretty good role, linking, being a sounding board really and a driving force, especially from the bottom up. I think that part of this is bottom up as well as top down."
- ―Richard Rogers[[src]]
A quotation or quote is the repetition of one expression as part of another one, particularly when the quoted expression is well-known. By using one "[ aswell as ]" on each side leads to an external link. Using two "[[ aswell as ]]" on each side.
Sourcing and referencing
- "When using quotes, you must reference them an essay and in an bibliography, or in any article."
- ―Sourcing and Referencing 101[src]
