Quick links
MediaWiki is the engine that drives CAZypedia. These links provide an overview of the basic "markup" (formatting rules) that CAZypedia uses:
- Basic editing & markup
- More markup examples - including inserting pictures
- Advanced editing - all kinds of cool stuff, including making links, math, special characters, and templates.
- There's even a handy printable reference card.
Making life a bit easier: The wikEd editor in CAZypedia
- CAZypedia uses an advanced editor called wikEd, which can be used to add most of the markup listed on the pages above, and therefore greatly simplifies making and editing CAZypedia pages. Some current features include (from the main wikEd page:
- Wikicode syntax highlighting
- Pasting, import, and conversion of formatted text, e.g. from Microsoft-Word and web pages
- Regular expression search and replace
- Edit preview and show changes on the same page without reloading
- Fullscreen editing mode
- Single-click fixing of common mistakes
- History for summary, search, and replace fields
- Jump to selected heading
- Type-ahead find
The wikEd help page contains a tutorial and full details on the function of all of the buttons in wikEd.
- Tip: If you plan to cut and paste formatted text into CAZypedia, make sure to become familiar with the "Wikify" button!
References to the literature
- There are special features to help add literature references to CAZypedia entries; for detailed instructions, please see the Help:References page.
