Here you can digest how to use
Wikipedia in bite-sized morsels. The tips listed below were created for the Tip of the day project, or the Styletips project, but are listed here by title and organized by subject area for your convenience.
When uploading
images or other media for use in Wikipedia articles, always remember to add the appropriate
copyright tag to show what license the material is under, or if it is in the
public domain. You can do this with the drop-down menu that lists common licenses, or leave the list on the default setting and add the template manually in the box above it.
To sign a message, move the cursor to the end of the message, and then with your mouse click on
the signature icon () in the toolbar at the top of the edit box.
This inserts the signature code (~~~~) where the cursor is.
When you save the page, these
tilde characters are converted to your signature followed by a date stamp.
You can also type this code in manually with the four tilde characters ~+~+~+~.
To sign without a date stamp, use three tildes ~~~ ~+~+~ instead.
To sign only the date stamp, use five tildes ~~~~~ ~+~+~+~+~.
