* Include a link to a non-existing page on an existing page, like this: <nowiki>[[New page title]]</nowiki>. After saving your changes, this link will show as a 'red link': <font color=red>New page title</font>. Clicking on the red link will automatically create the corresponding new page (disabled in this example). This method of page creation is preferred, as it guarantees that the new page is referred to from an existing page. | |||

== Editing recommendations == | |||
=== Mathematical expressions === | |||
* LaTeX is available: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula Formula help] | |||
=== Scientific references === | |||
* References are inserted into the text (not at the bottom of the page), between <nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki> tags. At the bottom of the page, only the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag should appear, which is where the references will be shown. References are numbered automatically. | |||
* More information: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php Use of the reference tag for inline citations] | |||
* When referencing scientific journals, use of the [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Digital_Object_Identifier|Digital Object Identifier]] (DOI) is recommended. The following format can be used: <br><nowiki>Authors, Title, [[doi:<DOI>|<citation>]]</nowiki> <br>where <nowiki><DOI></nowiki> is the DOI code and <nowiki><citation></nowiki> the traditional citation text (Journal, Volume (Year) Page). The generated page will display the traditional citation, which will be linked to the appropriate DOI. | |||
* When citing book sources, use of the [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN]] is recommended. The following format can be used: <br><nowiki><citation> {{ISBN|<ISBN>}}</nowiki><br> where <nowiki><citation></nowiki> is the traditional citation text (Authors, Title, Publisher (Year)) and <nowiki><ISBN></nowiki> is the [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN]] code. | |||
* [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Reference|General information on referencing]] | |||
* Journal abbreviations in citations are standardized. Consult the [http://www.issn.org/2-22660-LTWA.php LTWA]. | |||
== File formats == | |||
The wiki accepts the following standard file formats: | |||
* Images: [[:Wikipedia:Image_format|gif, jpg, jpeg, png]] | |||
* Documents: [[:Wikipedia:Portable_document_format|pdf]], [[:Wikipedia:Microsoft PowerPoint|ppt]] | |||
Small movies (e.g., in the [[:Wikipedia:Audio_Video_Interleave|avi]] format) should be converted to [[:Wikipedia:Graphics_Interchange_Format|gif]], using e.g. [http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/video/ ImageMagick], before being uploaded here. Big movies are best stored on an external site (such as [http://www.youtube.com/ YouTube]). | |||
