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}}
<!--ONLY USE for personal names for sorting purposes. Otherwise remove this field-->
[[Category: ]]
<!--Enter categories to right of colon and repeat as needed. See special categories page for ideas. If you can't think of a category, remove this field.-->

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.

Style Guide

While cvillepedia is designed to be a community resource, we would like the content on the site to conform to a shared style. Unless otherwise specified below, use Wikipedia style.

Charlottesville Tomorrow's Style Guide, includes help with footnotes, references, and citations.

Photos

Test Thumbnail

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.
