    '''This page offers examples of formatting code for common tasks'''
    ==Add an Introductory Screenshot and Description== <!--T:2-->


    ==Deciding where to create your page==
    <!--T:3-->
    Many people choose to draft a page on their own Talk page, then move the result to the desired site. Sometimes there is a good reason for preferring to do it in the final location. If that is the case, consider using before your content <nowiki>{{Construction}}</nowiki> which will display
    Whenever possible we begin an application's top-level page with this.  The code to achieve it is
     
    <!--T:4-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>{|class="tablecenter vertical-centered"
    |[[Image:YourScreenshot.png|250px|thumb]]
    |Your descriptive text
    |}</nowiki>}}
     
    ==Format Your Text== <!--T:5-->
     
    ===Use Headings=== <!--T:6-->
     
    <!--T:7-->
    Each headings goes on its own line starting and ending with two or more '=' characters. Once there are more than a handful of headings on a page they automatically create a Table of Contents, so use them. The number of '=' characters determines their level in the Table of Contents, thus your headings should be '==Main section name==', '===Subsection name===', '====Sub-subheading name here====', and so on. Avoid using single '=', as that denotes a page heading and every wiki page already has one made from its name; for example, this page's title "{{PAGENAME}}" appears as its page heading.
     
    ===Use '''bold''' and ''italic''=== <!--T:8-->
     
    <!--T:9-->
    Blips are used to specify bold and italic words.


    {{Construction}}
    <!--T:10-->
    Use <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki> to specify '''bold text''' and
    <nowiki>''italic text''</nowiki> to specify ''italic text''.
     
    <!--T:11-->
    In order to ensure we get easy and accurate translations, please adhere to the ''[[Special:myLanguage/Typographical_Guidelines|typographical guidelines]].''
     
    ===Add a Code Snippet=== <!--T:12-->
     
    <!--T:13-->
    We have templates to assist in correctly displaying code snippets.  Examples of use in various situations are available on [[Special:myLanguage/Typographical_Guidelines|the typographical guideline page]]
     
    <!--T:14-->
    If you have problems displaying pipe characters in your code snippet, please see the explanation and markup detailed on [[Special:myLanguage/Typographical_Guidelines|Typographical Guidelines]]
     
    ===Add Indents=== <!--T:15-->
     
    <!--T:16-->
    :"''':'''" is used for an indent, and was used in multiples in some old pages.  This is deprecated, and causes some problems, so the multiples will be removed as they are found.  A single "''':'''" indents by four characters.
     
    === Format Dates === <!--T:17-->
     
    <!--T:18-->
    Dates in a purely numerical format cause confusion, due to differences in expectations of geographical zones.  Please format dates as {{Input|1=<nowiki>18 Mar 2011</nowiki>}} with the month either spelled out completely or in abbreviated form, and the year in 4-digit format.  The day may be single or double-digit.

    For more details see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:List wikimedia] on lists.
     
    === Combining Bulleted Lists and Enumerations === <!--T:32-->
     
    <!--T:33-->
    You can have an enumerated sublist in a bulleted list and vice versa, like this:
     
    <!--T:34-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>
    * Nuts
    *# Cashew
    *# Crazy
    * Other things
    </nowiki>}}
     
    <!--T:35-->
    produces


    ==Do not add an i18n language bar==
    <!--T:36-->
    * Nuts
    *# Cashew
    *# Crazy
    * Other things


    {|style="width:75%; border:2px dotted #BCBCBC;" align="center"
    <!--T:37-->
    |<nowiki>{{Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar|Toolbox}}</nowiki>
    while
    |}


    New pages should not have this language bar.  It related to the old style of translation and will not work with page translation extension.
    <!--T:38-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>
    # Nuts
    #* Cashew
    #* Crazy
    # Other things
    </nowiki>}}


    ==Add an introductory screenshot and description==
    <!--T:39-->
    Whenever possible we begin an application's top-level page with this.  The code to achieve it is
    produces


    <pre>
    <!--T:40-->
    {|style="text-align:center" cellpadding="2"
    # Nuts
    |[[Image:YourScreenshot.png|250px|thumb||'''Your descriptive text'''
    #* Cashew
    |}
    #* Crazy
    </pre>
    # Other things


    ==Format your text==
    <!--T:41-->
    ===Use Headings===
    {{Note|1=Enumerations should never have blank lines in them: it breaks the sequence and numbering starts at one again. Similarly, there should never be blank lines before a sublist item whether enumerated or bulleted: it creates two levels of item markings (bullets or numbers)}}
    :Headings automatically form part of your Table of Contents, so need to be structured.  Their place in the tree is governed by multiple '=' characters at each end of the heading. Avoid using a single one - that denotes a page heading, and the automatic page heading should be used.  Your major headings will use '==text goes here==', the next level, '===more text===' and so on.


    ===Use '''bold''' and ''italic''===
    <!--T:42-->
    :Blips are used to specify bold and italic words.
    {{Note|1=Please remember, that long lists are a problem for translators. With single level bulleted lists, place each bullet in a section of its own, i.e. make a blank line between bullets. With two levels of bullets the subitems must be kept in the same section as their top level bullet; if you have to use subbullets, please keep the sublists short! With enumerations involved, you must keep everything in one unit. Please try to avoid enumerations, and if you find that you must use them try to keep them short.}}


    :Use <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki> to specify '''bold text''' and
    <!--T:116-->
    :<nowiki>''italic text''</nowiki> to specify ''italic text''.
    {{Remember|2=Workaround|1=Though it is important to avoid blank lines in enumerations and nested lists it is still possible to split such lists in several translations units. This is highly recommended!}}


    :In order to ensure we get easy and accurate translations, please adhere to the ''[[Typographical_Guidelines|typographical guidelines]].''
    <!--T:117-->
    To get each bullet and each sub bullet in its own translation unit you can enter something like this:


    ===Add a code snippet===
    <!--T:118-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>* First bullet &lt;/translate &gt;
    &lt;translate &gt;
    ** First sub bullet &lt;/translate &gt;
    &lt;translate &gt;
    ** Another sub bullet<br /><br />This one consists of two paragraphs &lt;/translate &gt;
    &lt;translate &gt;
    * The next main bullet &lt;/translate &gt;
    &lt;translate &gt;
    ** And so on</nowiki>}}


    :Simply adding a space at the beginning of the line displays your text in a fixed font, so 'this snippet of code' becomes
    <!--T:119-->
    This displays like this:


    this snippet of code
    <!--T:120-->
    * First bullet</translate>
    <translate>
    <!--T:121-->
    ** First sub bullet</translate>
    <translate>
    <!--T:122-->
    ** Another sub bullet<br /><br />This one consists of two paragraphs</translate>
    <translate>
    <!--T:123-->
    * The next main bullet</translate>
    <translate>
    <!--T:124-->
    ** And so on


    :If it needs to stand out more, you can enclose it in a box:
    <!--T:125-->
    The same method should apply to the other kinds of lists.


    :{|style="width:50%; border:2px dotted #BCBCBC;" align="center"
    <!--T:126-->
    | this snippet of code
    If on the other hand you need to have more sections in the same item, you can do something like this to have each section in a translation unit of its own:
    |}


    :However, you lose the clarity that the change of font gives. This method may be more useful for extended snippets, of several lines, rather than short ones.  The decision should be based on what is aesthetically pleasing in the context of the rest of your page layout.
    <!--T:127-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>* First bullet &lt;/translate &gt;
    &lt;translate &gt;
    * Second bullet, first section. &lt;/translate&gt;<br /><br /> &lt;translate &gt; Second section of the
    second bullet. This section has a translation unit of its own &lt;/translate &gt;
    &lt;translate &gt;
    * And so on</nowiki>}}


    ===Add indents===
    <!--T:128-->
    This displays like this:


    :':' is used for an indent, and can be used in multiples. A single ':' indents by two characters.
    <!--T:129-->
    * First bullet</translate>
    <translate>
    <!--T:130-->
    * Second bullet, first section.</translate><br /><br /><translate><!--T:131-->
    Second section of the second bullet. This section has a translation unit of its own</translate>
    <translate>
    <!--T:132-->
    * And so on


    ===Lists, numbered and bulleted===
    === Itemizations === <!--T:43-->
    :<nowiki>*</nowiki> is the symbol to use for bulletted lists.  ** gives a second level:
    <nowiki>
    ::* One star
    ::* Next point
    ::** Sub-point
    ::* Third point</nowiki>


    :produces
    <!--T:44-->
    Itemizations are produced using ''';''' and ''':''' alternatively.  They are best for giving short descriptions for a group of related objects.


    ::* One star
    <!--T:45-->
    ::* Next point
    <!--}}-->{{Input|1=<nowiki>
    ::** Sub-point
    ;Animals
    ::* Third point
    : They move around and devour other creatures.


    :Numbered lists are produced in the same way, using '#'.
    <!--T:46-->
    ;Plants
    : They have roots and feed upon ground water and sun.
    </nowiki>}}<!--{{-->
    produces


    <!--T:47-->
    ;Animals
    : They move around and devour other creatures.


    <nowiki>
    <!--T:48-->
    ::# A single hash
    ;Plants
    ::# Second point
    : They have roots and feed upon ground water and sun.
    ::## A sub-point
    ::# Third point</nowiki>


    :produces
    <!--T:49-->
    {{Note|1=As always, please keep each item in a section of its own; it helps translators a lot.}}


    ::# A single hash
    ===Add a Link=== <!--T:50-->
    ::# Second point
    ::## A sub-point
    ::# Third point


    :This is less useful than the bulletted list.

    There are three kinds of links to learn, internal ones, to another userbase page, internal links to a section of a userbase page, and external URL links.


    ===Add a link===
    <!--T:52-->
    For an internal link the format <nowiki>[[PageLayout]]</nowiki>, where you want to display the name of the page, does work, but it is not ideal, particularly for translation to docbook and for localisation.  It is better to use the form <nowiki>[[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|Page Layout]]</nowiki>, because that allows translators to link correctly even though the page name is localised.  The result is that it directs to the correctly translated page, if one exists. You often need to include the link in a sentence, so in that case you would use


    There are two kinds of links to learn, internal ones, to another userbase page, and external URL links.
    <!--T:53-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>[[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|this page]]</nowiki>}} which displays
    [[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|this page]]


    For an internal link the format <nowiki>[[PageLayout]]</nowiki>, where you want to display the name of the page, does work, but it is not ideal, particularly for translation to docbook.  It is better to use the form <nowiki>[[PageLayout|Page Layout]]</nowiki>, as it avoids problems at the translator stage. You often need to include the link in a sentence, so in that case you would use
    <!--T:108-->
    Internal links to subsections of a page use character '#' (hash) and should look like this {{Input|1=<nowiki>[[Special:myLanguage/Tasks_and_Tools#Working_with_Languages|...]]</nowiki>}}With this kind of link it is very important, that the page you link to declares the reference anchor. If the anchor contains space characters, replace them by character '_' (underscore) when calling the reference. If the reference is found, the section will be automatically displayed by your browser (if it manages anchors). If it is not the case, you will have to go down through the page to find the referenced section.


    :{|style="width:50%; border:2px dotted #BCBCBC;" align="center"
    === Anchor declaration === <!--T:163-->
    |<nowiki>[[PageLayout|this page]]</nowiki>
    |}


    which displays
    <!--T:164-->
    Anchor declaration must be done immediatly BEFORE the referenced section, and followed by a blank line separating the anchor and its headline. In the following example just copy in the ID value, the title of associated section. It should look like this: 
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>&lt;/translate&gt;<span id="Working with Languages"></span> &lt;translate&gt;</nowiki>}}


    [[PageLayout|this page]]
    <!--T:109-->
    If the page containing the section that you link to is not yet marked up for translation, you should omit the <nowiki>&lt;/translate &gt; and &lt;translate &gt;</nowiki> tags.


    <!--T:54-->
    External links are slightly different so
    External links are slightly different so


    :{|style="width:80%; border:2px dotted #BCBCBC;" align="center"
    <!--T:55-->
    |<nowiki>[http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules our road map]</nowiki>
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>[http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules our road map]</nowiki>}} displays
    [http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules our road map], which would take you straight to the techbase page.
     
    <!--T:56-->
    One last thing to note - when you preview your page, all links are live.  This gives you two benefits. You can check (by hovering) that your links are set up as you expected, and you can use a red link to create a new page.
     
    === Make an application list === <!--T:110-->
     
    <!--T:111-->
    If you want to make a list of applications like the ones in the subpages of [[Special:myLanguage/Applications|Applications]], you should use the <code>AppItem</code> template. Simply enter
     
    <!--T:112-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>{|
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Locale|Preferences-desktop-locale.png|
    Settings for localized handling of numbers, dates, etc}}A short text.
    A few more short lines about the app. This is optional.
    |-
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Shortcuts and Gestures|Preferences-desktop-keyboard.png|
    Shortcuts and Gestures}}Another short text. If you do not type <keycap>Enter</keycap> between the texts
    you get one section no matter how long the text is.
    |}</nowiki>}}
     
    <!--T:113-->
    This gives the following display:
     
    <!--T:114-->
    {|
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Locale|Preferences-desktop-locale.png|
    Settings for localized handling of numbers, dates, etc}}A short text.
    A few more short lines about the app. This is optional.
    |-
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Shortcuts and Gestures|Preferences-desktop-keyboard.png|
    Shortcuts and Gestures}}Another short text. If you do not type <keycap>Enter</keycap> between the texts you get one section no matter how long the text is.
    |}
    |}


    displays
    <!--T:115-->
    Note, that you should not prepend "Special:myLanguage" to the page name - the template takes care of that. Also note, that you must give a title, even if the title is the same as the page name.
     
    === Footnotes === <!--T:145-->
     
    <!--T:146-->
    Footnotes are rarely used in our pages, but if you need them you can place a <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki>''text''<nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> in the source where the footnote mark should appear. There has to be one <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> somewhere in the source as well, usually towards the end of the page. This is where the text added by the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags will appear. For more info see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes Wikipedia help page].
     
    ==Illustrate Your Text== <!--T:57-->
     
    ===Add a single image, centered=== <!--T:58-->
     
    <!--T:59-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>[[File:KMail-kde4.png|250px|center]]</nowiki>}}
     
    <!--T:60-->
    Note that you can change the position of the image, but the default is left.  The size of the image depends on the circumstances, but for screenshots I recommend no less than 250px and no more than 500px.
     
    <!--T:158-->
    Also note that <code>Image:</code> and <code>File:</code> are synonyms.
    So that  <code><nowiki>[[Image:KMail-kde4.png]]</nowiki></code> is the same as <code><nowiki>[[File:KMail-kde4.png]]</nowiki></code>. However <code>Image:</code> is deprecated, so prefer <code>File:</code> in new content.
     
    <!--T:142-->
    see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images mediawiki] for more info.
     
    ===Make the Image Clickable and Add a Caption=== <!--T:61-->
     
    <!--T:62-->
    Where you need to show more detail, create a moderately sized image, clickable, so that the full-size can be seen.  Simply add the parameter '|thumb' within the image parentheses.
     
    <!--T:63-->
    A caption can also be added as a parameter, but will only show if '|thumb' is present.
     
    <!--T:152-->
    Example:
     
    <!--T:153-->
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>[[File:file_name.png|thumb|this will be the caption]]</nowiki>}}


    [http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules our road map] which would take you straight to the techbase page.
    === Add a caption without a thumbnail === <!--T:154-->


    One last thing to note - when you preview your page, the links are live.  This gives you two benefits. You can check (by hovering) that your links are set up as you expected, and you can use a red link to create a new page.
    <!--T:155-->
    Captions also appear on images marked up with the frame syntax.


    ==Illustrate your text==
    <!--T:156-->
    ===Add a single image, centered===
    Example:


    :{|style="width:50%; border:2px dotted #BCBCBC;" align="center"
    <!--T:160-->
    |<nowiki>[[Image:KMail-kde4.png|250px|center]]</nowiki>
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>[[File:image.png|frame|left|this will be the caption]]
    |}
    </nowiki>}}


    :Note that you can change the position of the image, but the default is left.  The size of the image depends on the circumstances, but for screenshots I recommend no less than 250px and no more than 500px. 
    ===Prevent text from flowing around image=== <!--T:157-->


    ===Make the image clickable, and add a caption===
    <!--T:161-->
    Sometimes you might not want the text to flow down the sides of your image. You can prevent this by adding a <code><nowiki> <br clear=all> </nowiki></code> tag between the file tag and the text in question.


    :Where you need to show more detail, create a moderately sized image, clickable, so that the full-size can be seen.  Simply add the parameter '|thumb' within the image parentheses.
    <!--T:159-->
    Example:
    {{Input|1=<nowiki>[[File:image.png]]
    <br clear=all>
    This text would normally flow down the sides of the image but now it will be found under the image
    </nowiki>}}


    :A caption can also be added as a parameter, but will only show if '|thumb' is present.

    <nowiki> {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}</nowiki><br />
     
    <!--T:137-->
    Where: <br />
    service is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
    id is the id of the video to include
    width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
    align (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
    desc (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned
     
    <!--T:138-->
    For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}</pre>
     
    <!--T:139-->
    And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, on the right with a short description, you could use:
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}</pre>


    ==Add Notes and Warnings==


    Where a note or warning is relevant within your text, use a table, like these:
    <!--T:140-->
    {|style="width:80%; border:2px dotted #BCBCBC;" align="center"
    As of version 1.0, EmbedVideo supports embedding video content from the following services:
    |<nowiki>

    By default, KDE SC 4 is assumed.  If the KDE SC 4 version is not yet ready for release, or where only a KDE 3 version exists, it may be necessary to document the KDE3 version. In this case you should add the template {{tl|KDE3}}
    which displays {{KDE3}}
    Should you be writing about a KDE3 version and KDE SC 4 version on the same page, use icons for both — {{tl|KDE4}} which displays {{KDE4}}

    Note that the size of the boxes for these two templates are fixed - you cannot alter them.
    <!--T:82-->
    The best way to refer to icons in the GUI is to display it in the text. This can be done with a template like this: <code><nowiki>{{Icon|list-add}}</nowiki></code>. This will display the {{Icon|list-add}} icon.


    ==KDE3 and KDE SC 4 versions of applications==
    <!--T:83-->
    For this to work, the icon image must have been uploaded to the wiki. See [[Special:myLanguage/Update_an_Image|Update an Image]] for an explanation on how to upload images. The .png files can usually be found here: <tt>usr/share/icons/oxygen</tt>. If possible use the 16x16 icon. The file name should have an <tt>Icon-</tt> prefix as in <tt>Icon-list-add.png</tt> &mdash; apart from the prefix the filename should exactly match the usual name. Note, that when using the template you should neither write the <tt>Icon-</tt> prefix nor the <tt>.png</tt> file type extension.


    By default, KDE SC 4 is assumed.  If the KDE SC 4 version is not yet ready for release it may be necessary to document the KDE3 version.  In this case you should add an icon <nowiki>{{KDE3}}</nowiki>  
    <!--T:84-->
    which displays {{KDE3}}.  Should you be writing about a KDE3 version and KDE SC 4 version on the same page, use icons for both - <nowiki>{{KDE4}}</nowiki> which displays {{KDE4}}
    The {{Plus}} icon can also be written as <code><nowiki>{{Plus}}</nowiki></code>, and the {{Minus}} icon as <code><nowiki>{{Minus}}</nowiki></code>. You can also use <code><nowiki>{{Configure}}</nowiki></code> to get the {{Configure}} icon, and <code><nowiki>{{Exit}}</nowiki></code> gets you the {{Exit}} icon.

    Revision as of 13:48, 30 July 2018

    Information

    This page offers examples of formatting code for common tasks


    Add an Introductory Screenshot and Description

    Whenever possible we begin an application's top-level page with this. The code to achieve it is

    {|class="tablecenter vertical-centered"
    |[[Image:YourScreenshot.png|250px|thumb]]
    |Your descriptive text
    |}

    Format Your Text

    Use Headings

    Each headings goes on its own line starting and ending with two or more '=' characters. Once there are more than a handful of headings on a page they automatically create a Table of Contents, so use them. The number of '=' characters determines their level in the Table of Contents, thus your headings should be '==Main section name==', '===Subsection name===', '====Sub-subheading name here====', and so on. Avoid using single '=', as that denotes a page heading and every wiki page already has one made from its name; for example, this page's title "Toolbox" appears as its page heading.

    Use bold and italic

    Blips are used to specify bold and italic words.

    Use '''bold text''' to specify bold text and ''italic text'' to specify italic text.

    In order to ensure we get easy and accurate translations, please adhere to the typographical guidelines.

    Add a Code Snippet

    We have templates to assist in correctly displaying code snippets. Examples of use in various situations are available on the typographical guideline page

    If you have problems displaying pipe characters in your code snippet, please see the explanation and markup detailed on Typographical Guidelines

    Add Indents

    ":" is used for an indent, and was used in multiples in some old pages. This is deprecated, and causes some problems, so the multiples will be removed as they are found. A single ":" indents by four characters.

    Format Dates

    Dates in a purely numerical format cause confusion, due to differences in expectations of geographical zones. Please format dates as

    18 Mar 2011

    with the month either spelled out completely or in abbreviated form, and the year in 4-digit format. The day may be single or double-digit.

    Bulleted Lists

    * is the symbol to use for bulletted lists. ** gives a second level:

    * Almonds
    
    * Nuts
    ** Cashews
    
    * Raisins
    

    produces

    • Almonds
    • Nuts
      • Cashews
    • Raisins

    Enumerations

    Enumerations are produced in the same way, using '#'.

    # Sift
    # Mix
    ## Stir thoroughly
    # Bake
    

    produces

    1. Sift
    2. Mix
      1. Stir thoroughly
    3. Bake

    For more details see wikimedia on lists.

    Combining Bulleted Lists and Enumerations

    You can have an enumerated sublist in a bulleted list and vice versa, like this:

    * Nuts
    *# Cashew
    *# Crazy
    * Other things
    

    produces

    • Nuts
      1. Cashew
      2. Crazy
    • Other things

    while

    # Nuts
    #* Cashew
    #* Crazy
    # Other things
    

    produces

    1. Nuts
      • Cashew
      • Crazy
    2. Other things

    Note

    Enumerations should never have blank lines in them: it breaks the sequence and numbering starts at one again. Similarly, there should never be blank lines before a sublist item whether enumerated or bulleted: it creates two levels of item markings (bullets or numbers)


    Note

    Please remember, that long lists are a problem for translators. With single level bulleted lists, place each bullet in a section of its own, i.e. make a blank line between bullets. With two levels of bullets the subitems must be kept in the same section as their top level bullet; if you have to use subbullets, please keep the sublists short! With enumerations involved, you must keep everything in one unit. Please try to avoid enumerations, and if you find that you must use them try to keep them short.


    Workaround

    Though it is important to avoid blank lines in enumerations and nested lists it is still possible to split such lists in several translations units. This is highly recommended!


    To get each bullet and each sub bullet in its own translation unit you can enter something like this:

    * First bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    ** First sub bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    ** Another sub bullet<br /><br />This one consists of two paragraphs </translate >
    <translate >
    * The next main bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    ** And so on

    This displays like this:

    • First bullet
      • First sub bullet
      • Another sub bullet

        This one consists of two paragraphs
    • The next main bullet
      • And so on

    The same method should apply to the other kinds of lists.

    If on the other hand you need to have more sections in the same item, you can do something like this to have each section in a translation unit of its own:

    * First bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    * Second bullet, first section. </translate><br /><br /> <translate > Second section of the
    second bullet. This section has a translation unit of its own </translate >
    <translate >
    * And so on

    This displays like this:

    • First bullet
    • Second bullet, first section.

      Second section of the second bullet. This section has a translation unit of its own
    • And so on

    Itemizations

    Itemizations are produced using ; and : alternatively. They are best for giving short descriptions for a group of related objects.

    ;Animals
    : They move around and devour other creatures.
    
    ;Plants
    : They have roots and feed upon ground water and sun.
    

    produces

    Animals
    They move around and devour other creatures.
    Plants
    They have roots and feed upon ground water and sun.

    Note

    As always, please keep each item in a section of its own; it helps translators a lot.


    Add a Link

    There are three kinds of links to learn, internal ones, to another userbase page, internal links to a section of a userbase page, and external URL links.

    For an internal link the format [[PageLayout]], where you want to display the name of the page, does work, but it is not ideal, particularly for translation to docbook and for localisation. It is better to use the form [[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|Page Layout]], because that allows translators to link correctly even though the page name is localised. The result is that it directs to the correctly translated page, if one exists. You often need to include the link in a sentence, so in that case you would use

    [[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|this page]]

    which displays

    this page

    Internal links to subsections of a page use character '#' (hash) and should look like this

    [[Special:myLanguage/Tasks_and_Tools#Working_with_Languages|...]]

    With this kind of link it is very important, that the page you link to declares the reference anchor. If the anchor contains space characters, replace them by character '_' (underscore) when calling the reference. If the reference is found, the section will be automatically displayed by your browser (if it manages anchors). If it is not the case, you will have to go down through the page to find the referenced section.

    Anchor declaration

    Anchor declaration must be done immediatly BEFORE the referenced section, and followed by a blank line separating the anchor and its headline. In the following example just copy in the ID value, the title of associated section. It should look like this:

    </translate><span id="Working with Languages"></span> <translate>

    If the page containing the section that you link to is not yet marked up for translation, you should omit the </translate > and <translate > tags.

    External links are slightly different so

    [http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules our road map]

    displays

    our road map, which would take you straight to the techbase page.

    One last thing to note - when you preview your page, all links are live. This gives you two benefits. You can check (by hovering) that your links are set up as you expected, and you can use a red link to create a new page.

    Make an application list

    If you want to make a list of applications like the ones in the subpages of Applications, you should use the AppItem template. Simply enter

    {|
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Locale|Preferences-desktop-locale.png|
    Settings for localized handling of numbers, dates, etc}}A short text.
    A few more short lines about the app. This is optional.
    |-
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Shortcuts and Gestures|Preferences-desktop-keyboard.png|
    Shortcuts and Gestures}}Another short text. If you do not type <keycap>Enter</keycap> between the texts
    you get one section no matter how long the text is.
    |}

    This gives the following display:

    Settings for localized handling of numbers, dates, etc

    A short text.

    A few more short lines about the app. This is optional.

    Shortcuts and Gestures

    Another short text. If you do not type Enter between the texts you get one section no matter how long the text is.

    Note, that you should not prepend "Special:myLanguage" to the page name - the template takes care of that. Also note, that you must give a title, even if the title is the same as the page name.

    Footnotes

    Footnotes are rarely used in our pages, but if you need them you can place a <ref>text</ref> in the source where the footnote mark should appear. There has to be one <references /> somewhere in the source as well, usually towards the end of the page. This is where the text added by the <ref> tags will appear. For more info see the Wikipedia help page.

    Illustrate Your Text

    Add a single image, centered

    [[File:KMail-kde4.png|250px|center]]

    Note that you can change the position of the image, but the default is left. The size of the image depends on the circumstances, but for screenshots I recommend no less than 250px and no more than 500px.

    Also note that Image: and File: are synonyms. So that [[Image:KMail-kde4.png]] is the same as [[File:KMail-kde4.png]]. However Image: is deprecated, so prefer File: in new content.

    see mediawiki for more info.

    Make the Image Clickable and Add a Caption

    Where you need to show more detail, create a moderately sized image, clickable, so that the full-size can be seen. Simply add the parameter '|thumb' within the image parentheses.

    A caption can also be added as a parameter, but will only show if '|thumb' is present.

    Example:

    [[File:file_name.png|thumb|this will be the caption]]

    Add a caption without a thumbnail

    Captions also appear on images marked up with the frame syntax.

    Example:

    [[File:image.png|frame|left|this will be the caption]]
    

    Prevent text from flowing around image

    Sometimes you might not want the text to flow down the sides of your image. You can prevent this by adding a <br clear=all> tag between the file tag and the text in question.

    Example:

    [[File:image.png]]
    <br clear=all>
    This text would normally flow down the sides of the image but now it will be found under the image
    

    Use Tables to Precisely Place Multiple Images

    {|class="tablecenter" style="border: 1px solid grey;"
    |[[Image:Desktop-config-customized.png|230px|center]]||[[Image:Desktop-settings-rightclick.png|230px|center]]
    |-
    |[[Image:Desktop-theme-details-dialog.png|230px|center]]||[[Image:Plasma-multiple-themes.png|230px|center]]
    |}

    displays


    Note that all the parameters for one image are contained within [[...]], and cells are separated by '||'. To start a new line, insert '|-' on an otherwise-empty line, then '|' at the start of the next one.

    For more details on Table formating see mediawiki

    Embed a Video

    As of July 2012 the MediaWiki EmbedVideo extension has been installed on userbase.kde. This means you can embed videos from various video hosting sites into the page content and have them display in line.

    EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:

    {{#ev:service|id}}
    {{#ev:service|id|width}}
    {{#ev:service|id|width|align}}
    {{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}
    {{#evp:service|id|desc}}
    {{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}
    {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}

    Where:

    service is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
    id is the id of the video to include
    width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
    align (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
    desc (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned
    

    For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:

    {{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}

    And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, on the right with a short description, you could use:

    {{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}


    As of version 1.0, EmbedVideo supports embedding video content from the following services:

    Site Service Name
    Dailymotion dailymotion
    Div Share divshare
    Edutopia edutopia
    FunnyOrDie funnyordie
    Google Video googlevideo
    Interia interia or interiavideo
    Revver revver
    sevenload sevenload
    TeacherTube teachertube
    YouTube youtube and youtubehd
    Vimeo vimeo

    Add Notes and Warnings

    Important

    Indented boxes do not display correctly! Never put a colon in front of a box; it will make the box look very odd.


    Where a note or warning is relevant within your text, use these templates:

    {{Info|This is general information}} displays

    Information

    This is general information


    {{Note|Some important information at this point}} displays

    Note

    Some important information at this point


    {{Tip|A helpful piece of advice, something to remember}}displays

    Tip

    A helpful piece of advice, something to remember


    {{Warning|Take care - this is a dangerous thing to do}} displays

    Warning

    Take care - this is a dangerous thing to do


    Where the strongest possible warning is needed, the Remember box can be used, but please use sparingly. {{Remember|1=This is for things that definitely must not be forgotten}}

    Remember

    This is for things that definitely must not be forgotten


    You can also change the heading:

    Don't Forget This!

    You can use parameter number 2 to set an individual box heading:
    {{Remember|2=Don't Forget This!|1=You can use...}}


    Page Redirection

    You can make a page to redirect to another page automatically by using:

    #REDIRECT [[Pagename]]

    KDE3 and KDE SC 4 Versions of Applications

    By default, KDE SC 4 is assumed. If the KDE SC 4 version is not yet ready for release, or where only a KDE 3 version exists, it may be necessary to document the KDE3 version. In this case you should add the template {{KDE3}} which displays Should you be writing about a KDE3 version and KDE SC 4 version on the same page, use icons for both — {{KDE4}} which displays

    Other Useful Templates

    Inserting GUI Icons

    The best way to refer to icons in the GUI is to display it in the text. This can be done with a template like this: {{Icon|list-add}}. This will display the icon.

    For this to work, the icon image must have been uploaded to the wiki. See Update an Image for an explanation on how to upload images. The .png files can usually be found here: usr/share/icons/oxygen. If possible use the 16x16 icon. The file name should have an Icon- prefix as in Icon-list-add.png — apart from the prefix the filename should exactly match the usual name. Note, that when using the template you should neither write the Icon- prefix nor the .png file type extension.

    The icon can also be written as {{Plus}}, and the icon as {{Minus}}. You can also use {{Configure}} to get the icon, and {{Exit}} gets you the icon.

    Community Applications

    The final consideration concerns those applications which are not distributed as core KDE applications. These need to be indicated by an icon, placing {{Community-app}}


     See footnote


    at the end of your sentence or line, just as you would to denote a footnote in general writing. You then need to add {{Community-app-footnote}} which will create a footnote, like this:



    Support for this application can be found from the project's home page


    Making Major Edits to Existing Pages

    If a page is likely to be open for editing for some time there is a danger of conflicts - someone else may edit at the same time, and saving your edit will cancel out theirs, or vice versa. The way to avoid that is to make a temporary entry, directly under the language bar, using {{Being_Edited}} which will display

    Currently Being Edited

    This page is currently being edited.
    If this notice persists for an unreasonable time, please either notify irc.freenode.org #kde-www or report on Claus chr's Talk page

    Note: Pages should not normally be marked for translation while they are being actively worked on


    Don't forget to remove it when you have finished!

    Adding a New Complex Page

    If you need to be able to work on a page for quite some time, over several days, for instance, you may like to use the Construction template - {{Construction}}, which displays

    Under Construction

    This is a new page, currently under construction!


    Links to Pages in the Neighbourhood

    You can add links to a preceding or a following page using the following templates as described here:

    {{Prevnext2|prevpage=Previous Pagename|nextpage=Following Pagename|prevtext=The page before this page|nexttext=This page you should read later|index=Index page|indextext=Back to Menu}}

    All six arguments are optional. For first pages with no preceeding page or last pages with no following page use this:

    {{Prevnext2|nextpage=Following Pagename|nexttext=This page you should read later}}
    {{Prevnext2|prevpage=Previous Pagename|prevtext=The page before this page}}

    If you don't specify an indexname the name of the current page will be displayed.

    Note

    You should always specify a text for the pages you link to, and you should always use Special:myLanguage with your links; otherwise you create problems for the translators.


    Links to bugs

    You can link directly to a bug in Bugzilla by using this template:

    {{Bug|123456}}

    Please do not forget to add the <s> and </s> to strike through a bug that is closed.

    Adding a List of Sub-Pages

    == Subpages of {{FULLPAGENAME}} ==
    {{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}

    is very useful when you want to list subpages with active links, such as

    Subpages of Toolbox

    It does, however, also list all "other-language" pages, so use with discretion.
