00:00:00,333 --> 00:00:04,504
This is a walkthrough of the basics of wiki markup:

1
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:06,606
how to make bold text

2
00:00:06,606 --> 00:00:08,908
and links to other wiki pages.

3
00:00:08,908 --> 00:00:11,845
You can try out everything from this video

4
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:14,514
in your own user sandbox page.

5
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:17,083
If you don't already have a sandbox page,

6
00:00:17,083 --> 00:00:20,587
enter "Help:Sandbox tutorial"

7
00:00:20,587 --> 00:00:22,956
in the Wikipedia search box.

8
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:26,259
That page has instructions for starting a sandbox.

9
00:00:26,259 --> 00:00:31,097
To begin, press the "edit" button on your sandbox page.

10
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:33,266
This will open an edit window,

11
00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:35,802
where you can begin these exercises.

12
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:38,171
We'll start with the very basics:

13
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:39,739
bold.

14
00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:44,092
Bolded text appears at the beginning of most articles,

15
00:00:44,092 --> 00:00:46,146
to mark the subject of the article,

16
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:48,882
so it's one of the first things you'll need to learn.

17
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,784
You can make bold text

18
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:52,652
by highlighting it with your mouse

19
00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:54,854
then clicking the "B" button

20
00:00:54,854 --> 00:00:56,489
in the edit toolbar.

21
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:59,325
This adds three single quote marks

22
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:01,695
at the beginning of what you want to be bold,

23
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:04,764
and another three single quote marks at the end.

24
00:01:04,764 --> 00:01:06,866
Let's see what this looks like.

25
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:09,135
Go to the bottom of the edit window,

26
00:01:09,135 --> 00:01:12,772
enter a brief edit summary to describe your edit,

27
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:14,741
and press "Save page".

28
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,081
It's good to get in the habit

29
00:01:16,081 --> 00:01:19,946
of leaving edit summaries every time you edit.

30
00:01:19,946 --> 00:01:22,382
It helps you keep track of what you've done,

31
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:25,485
and it makes it easier to collaborate with others.

32
00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:30,019
You should have some bolded text on your test page now.

33
00:01:30,019 --> 00:01:33,526
Press the edit button, and let's continue.

34
00:01:33,526 --> 00:01:36,463
This time, we'll make wikilinks.

35
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:41,167
These are links that go from one page on Wikipedia

36
00:01:41,167 --> 00:01:42,435
to another.

37
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:44,571
Let's try it with the word "bold".

38
00:01:44,571 --> 00:01:47,024
To create a wikilink,

39
00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:48,742
highlight the word,

40
00:01:48,742 --> 00:01:51,544
then click the link icon in the edit toolbar.

41
00:01:51,544 --> 00:01:55,115
This brings up the insert link dialog.

42
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,035
Clicking the insert link button

43
00:01:57,035 --> 00:02:00,186
will add the code for a wikilink:

44
00:02:00,186 --> 00:02:02,422
Two opening square brackets,

45
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:05,125
followed by the article you want to link to

46
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:06,086
--in this case, "bold"--

47
00:02:06,086 --> 00:02:10,003
followed by two closing square brackets.

48
00:02:10,003 --> 00:02:12,699
Now enter an edit summary and save.

49
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:15,702
The word "bold" is now blue,

50
00:02:15,702 --> 00:02:18,505
and links to the article about bold.

51
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:20,473
Well, the article for bold

52
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:23,243
is actually called "Emphasis (typography)"

53
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:25,478
and that's where the link redirects us.

54
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:29,416
But what if that's not what you wanted to link to?

55
00:02:29,416 --> 00:02:31,885
What if you meant "Boldness",

56
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:33,853
the opposite of being shy?

57
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:36,056
Let's edit the page again.

58
00:02:36,056 --> 00:02:38,792
This time, in the insert link dialog,

59
00:02:38,792 --> 00:02:41,728
replace "bold" with "boldness"

60
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:44,397
in the "Target page or URL" section.

61
00:02:44,397 --> 00:02:47,667
Now, pressing the "Insert link" button

62
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,836
creates a piped link,

63
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:52,205
which is the wiki markup for a link

64
00:02:52,205 --> 00:02:56,142
with text that is different from the name of the article that it points to.

65
00:02:56,142 --> 00:02:59,679
It consists of two opening square brackets,

66
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:00,098
like a plain link,

67
00:03:00,098 --> 00:03:03,917
followed by the name of the article you want to link to

68
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:05,352
--boldness--

69
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:06,953
then, a pipe

70
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:10,156
--which you can insert by pressing "shift+backslash"

71
00:03:10,156 --> 00:03:12,192
on most keyboards--

72
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,227
after the article name,

73
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:16,629
then, the text you want for the link

74
00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:17,864
--bold--

75
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,467
then two closing square brackets.

76
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:24,337
That's like *this* generally.

77
00:03:24,337 --> 00:03:26,005
If you save your changes,

78
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:27,674
you'll see the result.

79
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:29,442
The link says "bold",

80
00:03:29,442 --> 00:03:30,844
and when you click,

81
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:33,279
you get the article "Boldness".

82
00:03:33,279 --> 00:03:35,248
So go ahead, start editing!
