[edit]- Copyright
Please note that we can't just take your word for getting permission to use copyrighted text - you need to go through the process outlined in WP:COPYREQ. However, it is not usually worth the trouble of doing this, especially for promotional material, as such copyrighted material often fails Wikipedia's policy of maintaining a neutral point of view. See WP:NPOV for details. All the best.

Shortcuts
[edit]On WikiProject and Portal pages, you often need to establish a quick way to jump to the page without typing a long name on the search field. So instead of typing Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink, all you would need to type is WP:Food or WP:Drink; this is done by creating a redirect page. Once the shortcut has been created, you can put the {{shortcut}} template on the Project or Portal talk page.
Look on the right side of the section for an example →
Columns
[edit]There are several ways to create columns on pages without going into wiki-code. Here are several templates that can be used to do this:
<span id="With {{Columns-list}}"> {{Columns-list}} is one way of creating columns of bulleted lists. It is formatted like this:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=22em| * This text appears in the first column. * This text appears in the second column. * This text appears in the third column. }}
Will produce:
- This text appears in the first column.
- This text appears in the second column.
- This text appears in the third column.
You can vary the number of columns by changing the number after the first pipe (|).
<span id="With {{col-begin}}"> {{Col-begin}} and its helpers {{col-break}} and {{col-end}} are one way of creating columns. They are formatted like this:
{{Col-begin}} This text appears in the first column. {{col-break}} This text appears in the second column. {{col-break}} This text appears in the third column. {{col-end}}
Will produce:
This text appears in the first column. |
This text appears in the second column. |
This text appears in the third column. |
<span id="With {{Multicol}}">
{{Multicol}} and its helpers {{multicol-break}} and {{multicol-end}} are another way of creating columns. They are formatted like this:
{{Multicol}} This text appears in the first column. {{Multicol-break}} This text appears in the second column. {{Multicol-break}} This text appears in the third column. {{Multicol-end}}
Will produce:
This text appears in the first column. |
This text appears in the second column. |
This text appears in the third column. |
