Articles
Creating an article
Search for the article and if there is not a good match there will be a red link which leads to the article creation page.
Naming References
To reference the same article multiple times, on the first use wrap it in a ref
tag with a name
attribute, on subsequent usages you can reference it by that
name in another ref
tag. For example:
Things happened<ref name="smith2000things">CITATION</ref>. Some of the things were good<ref name="smith2000things" />.
where the CITATION
is the full citation curly brace business.
Citation Gadget
There is a Citation expander gadget which greatly simplifies the
process of adding citations to articles. It is enabled though
Preferences then Gadgets. Once it has been enabled, to add a
citation of a journal article, you just need to add {{cite
journal |doi=10.1000/ABC123}
and then click the Citations button.
There are other stubs that can be used:
{{cite journal |doi=10.1000/ABC123}}
{{cite book |isbn=978-1-23-456789-0}}
{{cite web |url=https://example.com}}
Note: bear in mind when using the citation gadget that
- it takes a while to do its magic, but it will do magic so be patient,
- and you still need to wrap the citation in a
<ref></rev>
for this to format the citation correctly.
Infobox
Here is the infobox for the Vega and Vega-Lite visualisation grammars page.
{{short description|Graphics software tools}} {{Infobox software | name = Vega and Vega-Lite | title = | logo = {{multiple images|direction=vertical|image1=Vega Logo.svg|image2=Vega-Lite Logo.svg|align=center}} | logo caption = Vega (top), Vega-Lite (bottom) | logo_size = 100px | logo_alt = | screenshot = | caption = | screenshot_size = | screenshot_alt = | collapsible = | author = | developer = [[Jeffrey Heer]], Arvind Satyanarayan, Dominik Moritz, Kanit Wongsuphasawat, and community | released = {{Start date and age|2013|04|02|df=yes}} | discontinued = | latest release version = 5.25.0 | latest release date = {{Start date and age|2023|04|27|df=yes}}<ref>{{cite web|title=vega Releases|url=https://github.com/vega/vega/releases|website=Github.com}}</ref> | latest preview version = | latest preview date = <!-- {{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}} --> | programming language = [[JavaScript]] | operating system = | platform = | size = | language = | language count = <!-- DO NOT include this parameter unless you know what it does --> | language footnote = | genre = [[Data visualization]], [[JavaScript library]] | license = [[BSD License|BSD]] | alexa = | website = {{URL|vega.github.io}} | standard = | AsOf = }}
