I have added some features to Wikipedia articles in my edits such as those below:
Tip of the moment...
What are templates used for?
Templates are pages that you can include on another page. They are usually used to insert boilerplate messages that need to be displayed on more than one page. Templates are quite versatile and can be used to accomplish many things. For example, some specialized uses for templates are:
To include a template on a page, enclose it in double curly brackets, leaving out the prefix "Template:", like this: {{In the news}} – – Read more: To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

Music Samples
editFor the music samples I use the free-for-a-while MP3 Magic 2.0 from the great Applian Technologies. You get 7 days to test it out, and only $10 to buy. (Their suite of apps is sweet because it is the best to record intenet radio.) MP3 Magic lets you create 30 second clips that conform to Wikipedia's rules for length. You then use the free, open source Wikipedia application called Audacity to convert your clips to .OGG format for Wikipedia. Select Edit, Preferences, File Format tab, set OGG Export Setup to "0" to create reduced-quality 64 kbps .OGG versions of your clips.
Images
editYou can also use the paired <gallery>Images: here</gallery> tag to create a image gallery feature or stand-alone image like these from the editing toolbar:
-
Coyote Ridge of Mt. Tam
-
Coyote Ridge view of S.F. Coast
Take the Wiki Picture tutorial for more topics.
Tables
edit{{German Language}} The HTML Table code for lyrics are just native HTML tags that Wikipedia accepts, or use the "Insert a table" button on the editing toolbar:
"Our Country"[1]
Written by John Mellencamp |
From the east coast To the west coast |
Pull Quotes
edit- Main article: Super Session album - one of my favorite blues works. Have a listen in your browser in your PJs!
“ | To the best of my knowledge, based on an unnamed source, the new head of SONY/BMG shut down the 5.1 SACD department and let everyone go. A year and a half ago I remixed Super Session and Child Is Father To The Man for them in 5.1 SACD. They both came out incredible and so I mastered them with Bob Ludwig.Now it seems they will languish on the shelves under the current administration of SONY/BMG.,........Typical, in soooo many ways." [2] | ” |
Truncate lines
editShakespeare: Sonnet 18
“ | Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. |

Creating "Notes" and references
editCreating a References table in Wikipedia is almost as easy as creating a link. Look at the code at the top of the song lyrics sample table to see how to use the paired ref tag, e.g.,
- <ref>[http://www.H2G2.com The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]</ref>
to create the citation[3]. Then add a section near the bottom of the article containing the single,unpaired references tag. You will see that at the bottom of this article in edit mode.
Reusing Notes
editJust include the "name" parameter in the ref tag (and don't leave it empty when you reuse it):
- <ref name="Brainyquote">[http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/l/langston_hughes.html Brainyquote.com] - Langston Hughes</ref>
“ | Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.[4] |
” |
“ | I swear to the Lord, I still can't see, |
” |
Using {{cite web}} Template
editRichie Havens uses open D tuning on the guitar. By fretting all strings it produces a major chord on any position on the neck of the guitar.[6]
Example: Petaluma - Local
editThe mayor of Petaluma is David Glass,[7] who was formerly the vice mayor, and on the Planning Commission from 1999 until his election as mayor in November 2002[8].

Tips of the Day
editEspecially on talk pages, and sometimes in External link sections, links to Google searches can be useful. The Wikimedia software that powers Wikipedia lets you make links to Google by including google: as the prefix for the link, like this:
- [[google:Tipster]].
Which looks like this:
Note: It is important not to use spaces in the search. To add more parameters to the search, separate them by a plus sign, +. For a phrase search, use a hyphen (minus sign), -, between each word. E.g. to search for "Tip of the day", use Tip-of-the-day.
To provide a link to a Wikipedia-specific search, include in the google-link +site:en.wikipedia.org (no spaces before or after), like this:
- [[google:Tip-of-the-day+site:en.wikipedia.org]].
Which looks like this:
To clean up the link so that only the part you want to show is presented, use the pipe, like this:
- [[google:Tipster+site:en.wikipedia.org|"Tip of the day"]]
Which makes it look like this:
Many of the pages in the Wikipedia namespace have specialized redirects called "shortcuts" that can be entered into the search box on the left side of your screen. Normally these shortcuts start with WP: and then a capitablized abreviation for the page name. Some common shortcuts are: [[WP:]], WP:DEPT, WP:FAQ, WP:FUN, WP:IMAGE, WP:VP, and of course, WP:TIP. A semi-complete list of shortcuts is available at Wikipedia:Shortcuts.
How to create a shortcut
editShortcut class redirects should be tagged with Template:R from shortcut(edit talk links history) so they will auto-categorize in Category:Redirects from shortcut.
All {{R from ...}}
templates should be added on the same line as the #redirect [[Pagename]]. templates.
Example: #redirect [[Pagename]] {{R from shortcut}}.
