Editing

Editing WikiCU is very much like editing Wikipedia. Help on creating links, tables, etc, can be found here. If you want to mess around a little, try the Sandbox. If you want to delete an article, start a discussion on the article's discussion page.

In general, you should follow Wikipedia policies, including:

Complaints about an article

Wikipedia doesn't censor content. Neither does WikiCU. Occasionally someone will post stuff that others don't like. This might include slander or unnecessarily personal information. You are welcome to remove this content yourself by editing the article. Alternatively, please view the list of users and contact one or more "sysops" (ie, administrators), who will also be able to remove the content. If you still have a complaint please contact User:Admin or send an email to admin@wikicu.com.

Maps

Sample map code:

<googlemap lat="40.806068" lon="-73.964987" type="map" zoom="16" width="500" height="300" controls="small">
40.806068, -73.964987, Broadway residence hall
</googlemap>

The easiest way to edit a map is to insert the above sample code, then click "make a map" immediately above the text editing box. This will allow you to insert place markers.

Let's keep small maps (one or two buildings) to a width of 500 and a height of 300.

Footnotes

To make a single use footnote:

  1. <ref>text of note</ref> at the in-text place.
  2. (Only needed once per article)<references/> under the Notes heading.

To make a multiple use footnote:

  1. <ref name=foo>text of note</ref> at each in-text place.
    1. Alternatively <ref name=foo /> A self-closing tag on every use after name=foo has been defined.
  2. (Only needed once per article)<references/> under the Notes heading; exactly the same as to make a single-use note.
