 Felly yw Iwan Macandrew a rwy'n gwybod eu bod yn gweinwch y pethau yw dechrau wikipedia a gwybod yn cyfeirio newydd gryfawr diwydden nhw. Mae yma. Fy fydd yn fwy o gwe diddyf yn y front pag Wikipedia. Mae'n rhai gyda ni. Fydwn yw, rhywbeth yw'r wikipedia, yw fydd yn gweinwch y front. Felly dyna y rhai gweinwch yw am wahanol, Cread accounts in the top right of the screen. If you just click on create account, it will take you to this page. My username is already in there. So you just need a password and a username. So anything you like can be related to your own name, can be completely different. So input your username, input your password, confirm your password, put in your email address, and some capture code down the bottom, and click create your account. Once you've done that, your screen will look more or less like mine. Except where my name at the top says Stingelhammer, your link will be red because it's not yet created the user page for that account. Any page that is red linked means that page doesn't exist. So I'm actually going to log into slightly different account, but you should only have one account. This is my account for trading purposes. So next thing you need to do is enable visual editor by clicking on preferences and editing. So in preferences, click on editing. Make sure this tick box temporarily disabled the visual editor while it is in beta. Make sure that's unticked. If it's unticked, you're fine, and this dropdown needs to show me both editor tabs. So just click on that and take the bottom option. Show me both editor tabs because we want to enable visual editor. Then click save in the bottom left corner. Now we've set up visual editor to work, the brand new editor interface that's making life a lot easier for Wikipedia editors. Now that you've done that, you can click on your username. Now this is my user page. Your user page won't have been created yet. So to create your user page, you now need to click on the first bullet point on your screen. It says start the user page. So click on that first bullet point. It's now asking you to create your first user page. If you've got that on your screen, all I want you to do is type this little bit of code, two squiggly brackets. This is a new user and then two closing squiggly brackets. If you've got that in that main first box area, go down to edit summary. Type added new user box. Anytime we make a change on Wikipedia, we summarise that change. So this is the summary of what we've just done. We've added a new user box. Click save page in the bottom left. Now it's added this box. You should see that your username at the top has turned from red to blue and you've created a user page. Now you've got two types of editor, the edit and edit source editor. Edit source is the old fashioned editor that we just used to put that little bit of code in to create that box. The second kind, edit, is the visual editor. We're going to use that from now on. First thing though, we're going to use the edit source just for one option. Copy and pasting is a lot easier in the old fashioned editor. So I'm going to copy some text that I've already prepared earlier into this. Paste it into that main box area below the new user section. And then in the edit summary, again summarising what I've just done, added some text to my user page. Click save. OK, now I've got a box and lots of text, but it's unformatted. So what I'm going to do is now for the first time click into visual editor. Now we have a menu bar, which is a lot like using WordPress blogging or Microsoft Word. It's a lot more menu driven. So first thing we need to have on Wikipedia is some headings. So just highlight the text, use the first drop down, select heading. So I've created a heading from my username. And I can create a few more just to split up the text. Highlight the text, click on the drop down. My example list, heading. Things I like, drop down, heading. Example link, heading, example citation. Oops, mistake. So to change it back, highlight, change to paragraph. Like so. And one more for references. There. So I've got references, my example, citation, my example link. Things I like, my example list, about me and the username. You can put anything in a user page just about who you are and what you're interested in. So I'm going to click save page. And summarising the changes I've just made, added headings. There. Now it looks a lot more like Wikipedia page. Everything split into sections. And I have a content box. And a content box is automatically created when you have more than three headings. Which I do, I've got seven. So now I want to add a bit of bold. So I'm going to hit edit to go in the visual edit again. Change my username into bold using this dropdown. A lot more options there, bold. And I can change Wikipedia in residence to italic. So if you've changed something to bold and italics, you can click save page. Add bold and italics. Save. So headings done, bold and italics done. Now let's put some lists in. We've got a couple lists here, my example list. So I'm going to create some lists, go into visual editor. Go down to my list section. Make it look more like a list. I like the text, use the structure dropdown, bullet. And now it's bullet points. And I can do the same for my qualifications here. I'm going to use numbered list there. So numbered list and bullet points. Happy with those changes. Added bullet points. Now Wikipedia needs links. Everything on Wikipedia should link from something and to something. So I'm going to click into editor. But we don't want to link everything. Just something that's going to help the reader and their comprehension on the subject. So I'm going to use the link symbol to link to it. And the link menu's got two options. You can use search pages to search through Wikipedia's pages. Or you can input a link to a website outside of Wikipedia. But I'm going to use this to find all the links that are on Wikipedia that will help the reader to click through to things they may be interested in. Notable places. Universities. Notable authors. So once you've added a few links, happy that they're not red links. They're blue clickable links that people can click through to. Then we can save that page. Added links. So links, bold, bullet points, headings. Now let's put in a picture to help illustrate our page. And a picture on Wikipedia means it's more likely the article will be clicked upon. So if it's editor, go into the visual editor again. This time we're going to use the insert dropdown to insert media. And this will search through 31 million images on Wikipedia Commons which are free for us to reuse. So I'm going to put in something simple. Keyword search. See if we can't find it. There we go. And a range of choices from Wikipedia Commons on Edinburgh Castle. But you could do a keyword search on anything. Click into one I like the look of. Check the license on it. CC BYSA, that's fine. CC BY is fine. Public domain is fine, but I'm happy with that one. Use this image. Add a caption. Go to advanced settings. Add a frame. Put it in the left hand side. No, let's go with the right hand side. Insert. Oh, way too big. Too small for my purposes. I'm going to just drag the save page. Added image, headings, bold, bullet points. We need, we've got a section on citations, but no citations and no references. So I'm going to bring up a new tab at the top. And let's find a citation. Go to the Guardian. It could be anything with a reliable reputation. So it's a reliable, any reliable source where it has a reputation for fact checking. So no internet blocks use this article. Woman Spies in the Second World War. It was horrible and wonderful like a love affair from the Guardian about Rosanne Colchester. Copy the link from the top of the page. Go back to my own page. Click visual editor. Go down to where I want the citation to go. At the end of the line here, I read an interesting article about Bletchley code breaker Rosanne Colchester today. And put the cursor at the end of that line. Ideally we would like a citation at the end of every line on Wikipedia. So cursor's flashing away there. Use the dropdown for site. And we're going to use the first tab, automatic. Because automatic one, we can just put the URL, the DOI or the PubMed ID in manual tab. We can put in extra fields if we have extra information about title. Last name, first name publisher. But the automatic citation tool does this for us if we just provide it with the link. So click generate. It's found it. And there we go. Insert. And I can do that for a couple more. PubMed ID for this third one. Because I know that it is eight ones. So that's the PubMed ID. Epidemiology there. So you can type in the PubMed ID if you know it. Or you can copy and paste the DOI if you know it. So save page added citations. There we go. I created two references automatically by me using the citations. And I could reuse those citations again and again if I wanted. Just by clicking on the citation tool and the reuse tab. So we've already got two categories in. But I've put them in already. But we could do some more. Edit. Go to this three horizontal line dropdown. And click on categories. Every page on Wikipedia should fit into a certain category. So it will make it easy to find. So I'm a Wikipedia. I'm a Wikipedia in Scotland. So my username page should fit into those categories. I'm also a Wikipedia form Edinburgh. Now it's not found that one. Because I've not spelled it right. So to get rid of it you can hit the trash can. Different spelling. Wikipedia is with an S on the end. Had to find that. Great. So I'm happy with that. Apply changes and save page. Added categories. OK. So links, bullet points, headings, references, categories. And we also need to create a talk page. You will need to create your one by going in and typing something like this. In the edit source section. Hi, this is my talk page. Peace, feel free to drop by and leave a message sometime. And anytime you leave a message on a talk page. You must sign your name. Putting in four tilde symbols. You can type that out yourself. Or you can press the button there. As far as the four tilde symbols are there. That will create your username and date stamp anything on a talk page. Added welcome click save. That should create a talk page for you. With a little sentence. Hi, this is my talk page. Peace, feel free to drop by and leave a message sometime. There's my username. There's the date stamp. Great. So talk page done. And the talk page is where people will come and visit you and talk to you. About any pages that they're working on or you're working on. Back to user page. Really, we've got everything there. That we need to. But if we wanted to create an article. We could create it in our sandbox. All you do is click on the sandbox. And it'll take you into this sort of window. And you could just draft an article on anyone you liked. We created one recently for our pre gardener proud foot. You would start it off in the sandbox. And you can create your article just the same way that you did your user page. I'll show you what I created earlier. Here's one. And it's quite similar to my user page. Except I have the name full name in bold birth date date of death. Notable roles context of when and where. And why this person is significant. Always have that in the first one to two lines. You can include an information box with summary information. Content section. Headings citations. More citations links to other pages. Quote with citation. Another section in career. More clickable links. Notable works bullet points. Quote indented. Other section. Later life and death. A lot of the material in your articles will depend on the sources that you're working from. And they'll help you decide how to structure your piece. You can also have a see also section. A link to another page on Wikipedia. And external links that are linked to pages outside of Wikipedia. But keep the see also an external links to a minimum. No more than a right three to five I would say. References as we said we need at least three as a minimum. And at least 250 words before you're moving your information across from the sandbox to Wikipedia's live space. And categories. If you're not sure what categories your page fit into. Look up a similar page. That's a good idea just generally to when you're creating a page. Look at a similar page to give yourself an idea of how that page should be formed. When you're ready to copy your page across to the main space do a search. But type it in exactly as you want the title of the page to appear. And just check that no page exists for it already. So there's no page for Edward Bosudski. Because it's a red clickable link page does not exist. Click on it. And then you can copy and paste. From your sandbox and just paste it into the new Edward Bosudski page or whatever page you're working on. And then click down here created. So once you've copied across 250 words in your three references and all your formatting hit save page. And that's a brand new page created. Remember that create source is the old source editor and create is the new visual editor in the same way. When you go to visual editor you have edit and edit source. Edit for visual editor. Source for source editor. And if you're copying from the sandbox copy from the source editor. It's much easier to copy from here. Control C. Put the article title in exactly as you want it to appear. Click on the link. Bosudski. Notable dates in. Notable roles, context of where and when. And the rest of the article after that. Bullet points, sections, clickable links, citations, references and categories. And an image importantly. And that's it. If you ever get stuck. You can go back to Wikipedia. The front page and go down to the help desk section. And you can leave a message on the help desk. Asking for help with your article. Just remember to leave the four tilde symbols to generate your username. And someone will get back to you. And that's it. Happy editing. Bye.
