UniWiki:Editing Guide: Difference between revisions

The previous version is [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Edit_toolbar described here], and if you prefer using it, it can be reenabled in your [[Special:Preferences|My Preferences]], under [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|Editing]] tab by disabling "Enable enhanced editing toolbar".

The enhanced toolbar has instant Preview and Changes functionality, and the "Show" buttons below the edit window perform the same actions. Due to the stylesheets in use, the toolbar panes are configured to be compatible with the black background of the UniWiki's default theme. If you choose to use a different colour scheme, the buttons below should function with better visibility for you.

The basic intra-wiki link has the following syntax: <pre><nowiki>[[Link topic]]</nowiki></pre> where '''Link topic''' is a page on the wiki. For example, if we wish to link to [[Main Page]] we use <pre><nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki></pre> These topics can include spaces, as the wiki will automatically reformat the text to the correct link. You can also link to pages that do not exist yet such as this [[Intentionally Red Link]], when you feel that subject deserves its own article. The link will then appear red instead of orange, and people will hopefully feel encouraged to create the article.

Place the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag at the bottom of the article and it will list all references used in the article. You can also use the {{T|Reflist}} instead.
