Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.

How do I create citations?

1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Raw data

We moved "visible minorities" charts years ago to main demographics article. As prose text is preferred overly detailed statistical charts and diagrams such as economic trends, weather boxes, historical population charts, and past elections results, etc, should be reserved for main sub articles on the topic as per WP:DETAIL as outlined at WP:NOTSTATS.

It is past time that this approach be reconsidered.

Use of tables of information is common throughout the pages of the provinces of Canada, including for various demographic data on religion, mother tongue, etc. The visible minorities and Indigenous peoples tables are hardly overly detailed - if anything there is no shorter way of presenting the data on visible minorities and Indigenous peoples. The tables are succinct and give by far the best picture of the ethnic breakdown of a province then the replacement text proposed under the "Ethnicity" subsection, which only boils everything down to the percent of visible minorities and Indigenous peoples, failing to give any further information beyond that.

Further, visible minorites and Indigenous data are distnict from ethnic/cultural origins as defined by Statistics Canada, thus data on visible minorities should not fall under the same subsection as "Ethnicity", which is consistently being used to give data on ethnic origins.

The main demographics pages should then contain further historical data on visible minorities and Indigenous peoples (which they indeed do in the case of Ontario and Quebec, and should do for others as well), but the main province page ought to give a demographic breakdown that goes beyond stating what percentage of the population are visible minorities and Indigenous peoples.

Will be reverting as we have talked about this many times in the past..... including involving a blockex editor who keeps coming back and adding them. As WP:Prose is preferred we moved all these to top level demographic articles. Fell free to bring the topic up again at Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board....or even better write it out like at Canada#Ethnicity. Moxy- 00:03, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
