Creating a new page
This is 'code' that you can insert in an article to ensure it has the basic elements in common with other cvillepedia articles.
- {{fact}} This is a way to flag citations that are needed
- {{stub}} This is a way to flag articles that are just stubs for future work
New pages should have the following elements at the bottom in this order (you can cut and paste this block of text into a new article):
{{stub}}
==External Links==
==Notes==
<references/>
{{DEFAULTSORT:LAST, FIRST NAME}}
<!--Use for personal names for sorting purposes-->
[[Category: ]]
<!--Enter categorgies to right of colon and repeat as needed. See special categories page for ideas-->
Formatting Guide
See Editing_Cvillepedia:Cheatsheet
Using Templates
cvillepedia has a number of 'infobox' templates for companies, neighborhoods, officeholders, and candidates.
See this guide for examples and the code behind our infoboxes.
Google Maps
Sample GoogleMapTest using Google Maps extension (not widget below).
Style Guide
Charlottesville Tomorrow's Style Guide
Footnotes, references, and citations
cvillepedia uses the Cite extension for MediaWiki citations.
Photos
Photos can be UPLOADED to the cvillepedia mediawiki server using the 'Upload File' command in the toolbox. Once an image is uploaded, it can be referenced within an article like this:
Thumbnail images are supported by an installation of ImageMagick (installed by BNSI on the webserver on January 2, 2008).
External photos cannot be embedded and appear only as links. This is a setting we can change to allow certain image sources.
External image example: http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/23/20071219full.jpg
