Initially ToC looks wrong Why

because
edit
  • it use = -->1 == -->2 ... ===== -->5


more equals chars for higher the number level and lower the hierachy level
reverse of what I tend to do in my droid edit etc text.txt files WikiP Edit should be level 2 sub head not Level 1

does not expect or like a starter header of a low level, it will get auto promoted for ToC.

Clips is L2 but should be L1 main Head

also note

Shortest notes or links

WikiP Edit Notes

edit

Uses markup. Is similar to that moz kb used rather than bbcode
br tag does work but iirc use of break template is preferred/mandated
also similar to joplin?

  • insert button bottom left includes some markup includes REM nowiki blockquote & code boxes

Novice Notes

edit

Formatting

edit
  • Help
  • links
    • plain text urls work e.g. https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wildlife_and_Countryside_Act_1981
      They change in to blue underlined links with a following clickable link icon
    • Link icon on edit box may be used for articles or external links
      • WikiP Articles Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 this is the title as on the page within double square brackets
      • Section Permalinks [3] may be obtained by using the permalinks option on the left-hand toolbar then right clicking the entry in the ToC. I presume the permalink is to the section at that particular time. It may need to be used in a talk discussion,
        but ordinarily I would just use the ToC to get the current one such as [4] note that does not contain &oldidnnnnnnn
      • Neat Numbered Links use single square brackets. [5] that also mentions diffs (Double square brackets on a shortcut)
  • ordinary line break leave a blank line
  • soft breaks
    Should use template {{break}} rather than <br> returns will usually show in edit view only.(does it break in article after an edit ?) br works and could use in my own notes, break template is easy and needs to be used anywhere else (except maybe in Talk areas) IF Style guidelines allow soft breaks.
  • Sub Pages roughly speaking allowed only in talk area for major edits, or in user space see https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Subpages
  • nowiki Also available from editbox advanced top line option see https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Help:Wikitext#Nowiki
  • adding a section at the end Do NOT edit the last entry. See https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Help:Section#Adding_a_section_at_the_end shortcut WP:+
    It also has other info about sections including about ToC generation, type, use & positioning.
  • Section Editing & Edit Summaries It is suggested to add summaries even for minor edits. In new sections ensure the edit summary name between /* HERE */ is changed to match the new section name. See https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Help:Edit_summary#Section_editing the limit for text in a summary is about 500 char.

More Advanced

edit

Include jargon & policy

  • Hat Notes These are the topmost disambiguation / or redirect notes see: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Hatnote WP:HN or WP:HAT
  • Transclusion that is using a page or part of one and including its content somewhere else rather complicated. Page may get moved but guess redirects would then be set up. See [7]

Clips

edit

Longer articles or cuts

  1. Will try a talk on the wildlife act it has a politics page
    https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Politics_of_the_United_Kingdom&action=submit and is itself https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wildlife_and_Countryside_Act_1981

Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Inaccurate Information

edit

I have now posted this in the project and the article talk

TL:DR

edit
  • I believe it is wrong & will rename a header to correct this unless anyone objects.
    ( Change From Offences to Offences within SSSIs )
    • Or wishes to make a better comprehensive edit of the section, or article.
    • That does not fix the article. But it makes it more or less accurate for what is then covered.
  • ERROR an article about SSSI s has been interpreted as if it always applies country wide.
  • I do not know where to post this.
    Whether I should put this in the article discussion.
    Or the temporary discussions on the projects page, so I will post in both.

My Interest / Lack Of

edit

I do not have interest or knowledge of politics or legislation.
I do believe the article to be inaccurate, and would like to make it more accurate.

Inaccuracy

edit

It is specifically the Offences section that I am talking about.
Although I suspect other sections, and then Offences NOT within an SSSI could be improved or added to.
