Help:Editing: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:52, 8 December 2023

Appropedia, like all wikis, allows you to edit almost any page. It's super simple, just click the Edit button! If you make a mistake, don't worry! You can always revert any edit by clicking undo in the page history.

There are two main ways to edit pages: the visual editor and the source editor. The visual editor is generally easier and often enough. However, learning the source editor will give you finer control of the final output and is essential for more advanced editing.

Visual editor[edit | edit source]

Our Visual Editor is as straightforward as it gets. To dive in, simply hit the blue "Edit" button on the top right or the pencil icon on the top bar, then select "Edit." Make your changes, and when you're satisfied, click "Save Page" – that's it!

00:00 To enable the visual editor, click on the pencil icon near the top.
00:05 Click on "Paragraph" and you'll be able to manage the titles within your text in a simple and intuitive way.
00:12 Click on the format tool to choose between bold, italics and other formats.
00:18 Click on the paper clip icon to add a link to another Appropedia page or to an external site.
00:25 Click on "Cite" to add a reference to another source. A footnote will be generated automatically at the bottom of your page.
00:34 Click on the bullet icon to make bulleted or numbered lists.
00:38 Click on the "Insert" button to add images, media, templates, tables and other elements.
00:45 Click on the special characters icon to ad special characters.

Source editor[edit | edit source]

For those craving more control and advanced editing options, we introduce the Source Editor. Click on "Edit Source" via the top right or the pencil icon, and you're in. The Source Editor lets you work with wikitext and even a bit of HTML, providing precision for your edits.

Advanced[edit | edit source]

Wikitext markup supports much more advanced formatting. However, try to keep it simple! Less markup generally makes your content easier to read, fix, improve, maintain, port and reuse by other people and software.^[1]

Some HTML tags are allowed too, for example <div>, <span> and <table>.

Page history[edit | edit source]

Ever made a change you regret? No worries! Every page has an edit history. You can undo changes or roll back a page to a previous version. To compare versions, use the "Difference to Current" and "Difference to Last" buttons for a side-by-side view.

To compare two versions of a page, use the "Difference to Current" and "Difference to Last" buttons. Diffs present changes in two columns, showcasing removed text on the left and added text on the right. The most recent version is displayed below for easy reference.

Appropedia is about collaboration, learning, and making information accessible. Dive in, make your mark, and together, let's build a richer knowledge base for everyone. Happy editing!

-'''Editing a wiki is easy!''' Just type it in like an email, and click save when you're done. You don't need to worry about the advanced features straight away.
+For those craving more control and advanced editing options, we introduce the Source Editor. Click on "Edit Source" via the top right or the pencil icon, and you're in. The Source Editor lets you work with wikitext and even a bit of HTML, providing precision for your edits.

-The name is case-sensitive, except for the first letter, which is automatically made upper-case. Don't capitalize all words, except for proper names, e.g. we use [[Natural paint basics]], not [[Natural Paint Basics]].
+[[Appropriate technology]]
+[[Appropriate technology|AT]]
-Remember to give your page a name that tells people at a glance what it's about. e.g. either "Smithville Local Exchange Trading System" or "SLETS (Smithville Local Exchange Trading System)" or "Smithville local currency scheme" - any of these is much better than just "SLETS".

+[https://www.example.com Example]
-You can format your text using wiki markup. The easiest way to do this is to select the text, then use the formatting bar above the edit box - click B for bold, for example. To see what a button does, hover you mouse over it and hover text should appear, explaining the button. However you can put the formatting in yourself as well, if you wish.
+[https://www.example.com]
+</pre></td><td>
-Wiki markup consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two single quotes like <tt><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></tt>

-Here are some variations of two important types of links in Appropedia: internal links to other pages in the wiki - including [[#Files|files]] (such as pictures) and external links to other websites.
+{{Appropedia help menu}}
-To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already, it is displayed in blue, empty pages are displayed in red.
+== References ==
-The first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended).

-=== HTML ===
-Some HTML-Tags are allowed in Appropedia, for example <tt><nowiki><code></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><div></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><span></nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki><font></nowiki></tt>.
-== Files ==
-Appropedia strongly encourages the use of supporting media to make articles more informative. Media that supports multilingual learning is also encouraged. Following are some instructions and guidelines on including media in your page.
-=== Uploading ===
-Before uploading, please ensure that you have [[Appropedia:Copyrights#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others|rights]] to upload and redistribute the file(s) in question and that you in turn grant these rights to others.
-#Save a file on your computer and remember where, i.e. what folder.
-#*Make sure to give it a unique name, such as your projectname_description.jpg
-#*For photos: Save the photo with no dimension greater than 800 pixels, and do less if big is not necessary
-#*For photos: Save the photo rotated in the proper orientation
-#*For powerpoints with slideshare follow these instructions: http://help.slideshare.com/forums/67665-faq-embedding-sharing
-#In Appropedia, click the "Upload a file" link located in the "toolbox" menu on the left
-#Click the "Browse..." button in the "Upload file" page, and browse to the file you saved
-#Choose the file
-#*This will fill the Source and Destination Name of that file into the corresponding text fields.
-#Enter a summary. (this step is optional but considerate)
-#*This summary section is a great place to indicate why you have rights to post the file
-#Then press the "Upload file" button to finish the upload. This may take some time if you have a slow internet connection.
-The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, PNG for drawings and other iconic images, and OGG for sounds. Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion.
-Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit your uploads (and admins may delete them) if they think it serves the project, and you may be blocked from uploading if you abuse the system.
-Once your file is uploaded you will probably want to [[#Putting_in_image|put it in your page]].
-=== Avoid huge image files ===
-Huge image files should be avoided - it puts a load on the servers and can make pages load slowly (especially in remote or underdeveloped areas). Usually the file should be compressed to 1 MB or less (3 MB or less for a very large or detailed picture). Raw photos from digital cameras can be more than 5 MB, which is often unnecessarily large.
-An image editing tool can help you make it smaller. An excellent free program for Windows users is [http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDownload.htm Faststone].Here are [http://www.playingwithwire.com/2006/11/resizing-images-from-comfort-of-your.html some instructions for the mac] and an [http://www.fixpicture.org/ online image converter] (max image size 3MB).
-=== Putting in an image ===
-:''Main articles: [[Help:Images]] and [[Help:Add image tutorial]].''
-To put your picture (file) in your page, you link to it by placing double brackets around the name of the file page (as if it was another Appropedia page). For instance if you just uploaded a file named AEFprevfilt2.jpg, you would put double brackets around image:AEFprevfilt2.jpg.

-To add a page to a category, type <nowiki>[[Category:Name of category]]</nowiki> at the bottom of the page.
-Categories on Appropedia are used to organize content. For instance if there are many individual articles on the topic of water, it might make sense to create a category for water.
-To Create a category called Water type <nowiki>http://appropedia.org/Category:Water</nowiki> into the address bar<br>
-To make a link to the Water category (a visible link, rather than adding the page to that category) type <nowiki>[[:Category:Water]]</nowiki> . If you want the link to display with different text, type <nowiki>[[:Category:Water | LINKTEXT]]</nowiki> where LINKTEXT is the text that will be displayed as the link.
-To see a category tree see [[Appropedia:CategoryTree]]. It is helpful to have the category tree open in another tab when editing a page and deciding the most appropriate categories.
-== Status tagging ==
-For project pages it is important to note the status. Often the investment cost of recreating or building an appropriate technology is high. To overcome this cost, first, there must be adequate information and schematics for a user to trust that there is due diligence in a given design and that the designed device can perform to specifications. Second, there must be a successful history of implementation before an investment in time and resources to employ an innovation can be made. By following the instructions on the page [[Appropedia:Status]], the status of a particular appropriate technology can be shown easily to help users decide on the use of a technology.
-See [[Appropedia:Status]] for details.
