This page contains some things I keep forgetting how to do.

Access to journals[edit]

for people whose account qualifies.

Policies[edit]

One of my favourite guidelines of Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.

Another can be found on the German Wikipedia.

Handling References[edit]

Some articles on Wikipedia sadly get deleted for the feable reason that they are WRONG.[1]

How to request[citation needed] references.[citation needed]

Edits[edit]

How to update pictures.

How to add ISBN.

How to link to Wiktionary: "hydro-"

How to add a language: use wikidata. There is a link to it under Tools in the left margin. You may need to merge two items.

Chinese templates[edit]

Template zh-cp (Chinese, Hanyu Pinyin)
Looks like Chinese: 你好; pinyin: nǐ hǎo
Code {{zh|c=你好 |p=nǐ hǎo}}


Template zh-stp (Simplified, Traditional, Hanyu Pinyin)
Looks like simplified Chinese: 中国; traditional Chinese: 中國; pinyin: zhōng guó
Code {{zh|s=中国 |t=中國 |p=zhōng guó}}

Non proportional fonts[edit]

There are several ways to make a line appear with a non proportional font. One is to start the line with two or more spaces. One is to use the tag <pre>.

This text is surrounded by pre-tags.
