User:Marjan Tomki SI/WP links

Advanced formatting, templates and how that works

• Templates documentation, and help, shown: {{tl}}; some useful templates follow
• Help:Columns {{colbegin}} - as tried here also adapts number of columns to width of browser window

{{colbegin}} contents {{colend}}

• Help:Footnotes formatting
• {{Lorem}} ipsum template - usefull for testing of formatting, e.g.

{{lorem}} <br> {{lorem}}

• CAT:RWP - redirect with possibilities
• FYI: MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN; User talk:Haldraper#Reference errors on 8 March
• policies and guidelines - this comprises much I listed above, and redundance shall - hopefully - gradually get reduced
• Help:Magic words for beginners, Help:Magic words, MW:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions
• Help:CS1 errors about displaying e.g. errors with citation template(s) used (need to create/update user's CSS; will do that when I have time)

Sister projects

• WP:SIS how to, {{Wikipedia's sister projects}} includes list of projects and interwiki links to use to get user there, but not list of templates like {{wikt}} (Wiktionary has ... about ...). I saw such list but don't recall where.

The problem I have at the moment is to send user by tl wikt to wikt entry's etymology section, but am not sure yet how.

Articles to see how something is done

Wales, Enciclopaedia Britannica, Einstein → to see how WD hopefully works correctly - see here

Cathegories, templates

• Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality
• Wikipedia:Categorization of people
• User warnings templates: point of view, civility... Links to policies are above
  • Don't template the regulars
  • Template the regulars
• Other talk pages templates: welcome, projects etc.
• Here I need a link to templates on citation needed, when, etc.

• Templates a bit technical: Help:Transclusion and Help:Substitution
• Template talk:Catholic Church sexual abuse cases
• Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2011 October 2 about SACC Sexual abuse catholic cases template discussion
• Template talk:Infobox UK place

Pictures and maps

• Wikipedia:SVG help

WP related programming

On WP and projects history

Including contexts of time (what others did wrong and WP rules were developed to prevent etc.)

• history of wikipedia
• Wikipedia:Nupedia and Wikipedia - shows author recognition, pro and general editors; also see Talk:Citizendium/Archive 3#Owner

Neutral point of view

Conservapedia, Flat Earth case cases

• Conservapedia - shows an (intentionally) biased -pedia

Google conservapedia flat earth

Cpedia didn't go quite that far when I looked (202104), but Google finds informative other pages with that search string. Some of those carry mostly drawings; this one what a (probably a bit prepotent) youth thinks on that (==wtf?), what are some of the craziest entries in the Conservapedia @quora. I think I need to show some of these to some people.

• The Scientific Method Syllabus - Fall 2010 good to see why verifiability principle is important (within any science and knowledge). North Carolina STB: a warning of corruptability of "official science",

Catholic Church sensitive articles

• Talk:Catholic Church sexual abuse cases/Archive 10#Did over 30 bishops resign? both problems and solutions cases, and much about sources
• Pope Benedict XVI Pretty extremely long intro. Reasonable well sourced (except young years; about that is both little data and sources). Problem with link shown as his father's name, that resolves to something else.

Talk page seem civil. Main page semiprotected; casual (IP) users spot mistakes and propose corrections, which seem to get implemented.

References

Other sensitive

• Fatwa - seems well done, to check WD also.

Unexpected

I see TOC here is collapsable (hide/show), but it is not so in some other projects. It seems dependant - and I intend to see, where the difference is.

It seems it started concurrently with inserting the following notice here. I expected that not to work, because template was inserted into nowiki area, but template call might be other than wiki markup.

Not necessariliy aan template is the reason (I put it in commments also, and it still worked (and in other subpages too). It might either be applicable to whole page (all subpages), comment wouldn't make in inactive (should try remove aan string) - but that's for later.

 {{aan}}  at the beginning might ask for collapsable  TOC (to be tested).
