PRACTICE TEMPLATE

Welcome to a practice page! After each task, Publish changes... so you don't loose your work.

Contents

[edit]

Task 1: Copy and pasting this page into your sandbox[edit]

[edit]

Click "Edit source" and copy and paste the contents of this page into your own sandbox. (Tip:  ⌃ Ctrl + a to select all)

Then, publish the page. This will give you a copy of this page which you can now freely edit.

Task 2: Fix a typo[edit]

[edit]

Edit the typo in the following sentence: "Fixing typos is a simple but useful way to contribute to Wikipedia."

Task 3: Formatting

[edit]

Make the above, bolded text reading "Task 3: Formatting" into a Heading and make sure it isn't bolded. (Bonus marks for removing any extra paragraph spaces above "Task 3: A bit of formatting" so that there is no extra space above the new heading.) [Note that Task 3 should now appear automatically in the table of contents section near the top of the page.]

Make this line of text a Sub-heading 1

[edit]

Turn this line into regular paragraph text instead of this weird box thing-y

Task 4: Adding links[edit]

[edit]

Adding internal link[edit]

[edit]

Link Da 5 Bloods to the Wikipedia article for the movie. (Bonus marks for italicizing the link since movie titles are italicized, even when linked).

Adding external link[edit]

[edit]

Link Spike Lee[1] on IMBD to the external page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000490/

Editing link[edit]

[edit]

The following link for Tracy Moore is meant to link the the Canadian journalist's article on Wikipedia, but right now it goes to a disambiguation page for that name. Edit the link so it goes straight to the correct page.

[edit]

For the paragraph below, there are too many links—it is overlinked! Remove the ones that you think shouldn't be there.

This is an example paragraph to help people get a better sense of what should and should not be linked. It is not an exact science, but there is a style manual for linking on Wikipedia that can help Wikipedia editors. The style manual for linking on Wikipedia recommends adding red links for pages that don't yet exist.

Task 5: Using elements from other pages[edit]

[edit]

Below this paragraph, copy over the table showing the "Awards and nominations" from Delroy Lindo. This is a bit of a complex table, so if you wanted to do the same table for another actor, it would be easier to duplicate and edit versus create from scratch. (Tip: when something doesn't work copy and pasting in Visual editing, using the Source editing should do the trick...)
