Ayuda:Cómo se edita una página

Este es el texto en ingles, que esta siendo lentamente traducido.

Si puedes ayudar a traducir, se te agradecera.

Si deseas aprender simplemente como empezar una página o acaso desee reglas informales para contribuir a Wikipedia. Pero si deseas los detalles sobre cómo corregir una pagina de Wikipedia, has venido a la página correcta.

Es muy facil editar una pagina wiki, simplemente haz un click en el link "edit this page right now!" en la parte de arriba o de abajo de una pagina Wiki. Esto te llevara a una pagina con una caja de texto que contiene el texto de esa pagina Wiki. Ponte a escribir, y presiona "Save" cuando estes listo. (Tambien, si lo prefieres, puedes revisar los cambios antes de grabar la pagina, apretando "Preview").

Lo que veas en la caja de texto sera mas que nada texto, pero tambien veras algunos simbolos especiales que el software Wiki usa para crear links, listas y otros efectos. El resto de esta pagina es una demostracion de como usar estas herramientas.

Después de las secciones primeras, usted tendrá que "enseñarse" haciendo clic en "edit" (sobre o abajo) para ver cómo se caban los efectos varios! Usted puede practicar el corregir en la Zona de pruebas antes de editar otras páginas, si quiera.

Expertos del wiki de Usemod: agregue por favor a esta paginación pues las nuevas características cuando se descubran. (hay variedades de software lógica del wiki. Wikipedia es un wiki de "Usemod.")--CliffordAdams.)

Adding links

Digamos que estás corrigiendo una página sobre deportes, y mencionas el fútbol. Bien, probablemente hay una página de Wiki sobre fútbol (y si no hay, debería haberla) y deseas hacer la palabra una conexión a ese artículo. Simple: agrega corchetes dobles alrededor de ella [ [ como esto ] ] y continúa corrigiendo. Eso es todo! Si ya existe la página, una conexión

le será hecha. Si aún no existe la página, una conexión será hecha que permite que alguien la cree. Agrega las conexiones liberalmente -- eso es lo que hace Wikipedia de gran alcance.

Hay algunas reglas sobre la fabricación de estas conexiones. Los carácteres especiales (letras con acentos) no funcionan todavia,

pero eso deberia cambiar pronto;puntuación no se pueden utilizar en el texto de una conexión. También, Wiki software considera el título de pagina igual al texto de su conexión, excepto que la primera carta será mayúsucula, y el espacio entre palabras se puede condensar. Por ejemplo, si usted tipo [ [ juego de naipes ] ] , será conectado a una pagina titulada " Juego de naipes".

Versiones anteriores del software Wiki solo usaban conexiones

de una palabra ComoEsta, y no necesitabe de corchetes dobles para convertirlas en conexiones.

Older versions of the Wiki software only made one-word links LikeThis, and didn't require the brackets to make them links. You may encounter these as you edit older pages. Please don't create new links like that, but you may want to leave the existing ones in place until you're more comfortable editing pages to fix them. See Free Links for more information about those. The naming conventions page contains hints about useful page names. For example, it is handy to use singular words like "game" rather than "games", because that makes it easier to create links in other pages.

Finally, sometimes the text you would like to make into a link just doesn't make a good page title. In that case, you can specify both inside the brackets separated by a vertical bar like this: text of link. This will appear as "text of link", but will link to a page entitled "Page link".

Examples of Good links:

my new page

My new page

JimboWales

Platos Republic

Plato's Republic

Bad links:

my_new_page (underscores not necessary)

My_new_page (underscores not necessary)

jimbowales (needs two capital letters or brackets)

Plato's Republic (will not link to the page you want it to link to)

See naming conventions when choosing names for pages!

Making a new page

There are two ways to make a new page:

1. As mentioned above, while you're editing the text of an old page, you can just put something in brackets. For example, you would type: my page. When you save the page you're editing, if the link you included doesn't exist, you will see a question mark after the text. Click on that question mark and you will be taken to a newly-created page that you can edit. Replace "Describe the new page here." with whatever text you want to put on the page!

1. Type the URL of the new page in the "address" line of your browser and hit return. The URL of the new page will be the text of a link, with the first letter uppercased and spaces replaced by underscores (see Wiki Canonization for more details about this). For example, in the URL above, you would replace

http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/How_does_one_edit_a_page

with the new URL

http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Name_of_your_new_page

and then hit return.

Demonstration area

• What follows is an area for demonstrating the various effects possible using Wikipedia, such as bold, italics, numbered lists, etc., etc.

• Click "edit" at the top or bottom of this page (i.e., the page you are now reading!) to see how these effects were achieved!!!

• If you don't click "edit" now you won't understand what's going on!!!

New paragraphs are made by simply pressing the "enter" or "return" key twice. If you press it just once,

like this,

a new paragraph will not be made (as you can see).

Here is

the proper way

to make single-spaced lines.

This line is indented.

This line is indented even farther.

Who knows how far it can go?

This line is indented by using an initial space,

              but since I didn't use a colon ( : ) 

  at the beginning of the line, it appears as a monospace font such as "Courier".  

 In other words, if you begin a paragraph with spaces, that 

     line will be both indented and in a monospace font.

This is very useful for importing monospace formatted tabular materials, especially from sources like 

an unnamed encyclopedia from a project that puts out-of-copyright texts into the public domain. 

Also note that space-indented lines will not wrap!  They will simply increase the width of your window.

This line is in italics. (Using double single quote marks!)

And so is this one! (Using good old html tags!)

And this! (Using still different code! How versatile! How confusing! But any of them will do.)

This line is bold. (Using triple single quote marks!)

So is this one! (Using the standard html tag!)

Here is a new style link: Larry Sanger (see Free Links)

Here is an old style link: HomePage

Consider not capitalizing your page names: definition of philosophy; see naming conventions

the text of this link is different from the name of the page it links to

it really doesn't MatterWhat youType in the...link description. It's all linkéd!

An external link: http://www.nupedia.com/about.shtml

Another external

link: Nupedia about page

If you type in the URL of a picture, it will be displayed rather than linked to:
http://www.wikipedia.com/wikia.gif

You don't have to create weird page titles, like Platos, just to make the plural or possessive form of a name. Plato's wouldn't work anyway. You can write: Plato's or (more cleverly) Plato's. In the old linking system you'd do it like this: JimboWales's homepage (using ""). (Just Say No to the old linking system; after all, you can now link to Jimbo Wales's homepage!) But it does look like you're stuck with Platos Republic, because Plato's Republic doesn't work, as you can see, although if you want to type a bit more you can cleverly create Plato's Republic.

Here is a numbered list:

1. Item 1

1. Item 2

1. Item 8

#Notice, this line isn't numbered because it is not flush left.

1. Neither is this line

Here is a bulleted list:

• Here's an item

• Here's another item

• • We can do bullets within bullets, as it were

• • • Pretty nifty, huh?

You can make a horizontal "rule" (line) on a page: ----

Or two, if you wish:

---

There are three ways to display, rather than parse, wiki code:

1. you can use the tag

1. you can use the <pre> tag

1. you can use the <nowiki> tag

The difference between <code> and <pre> is that the pre tag preserves line breaks, while the code tag does not. The nowiki tag works like the tag except that it doesn't use a monospace font. (We made liberal use of the tag on this page.)




You can create subpages: /Talk


Sorry, but you cannot create sub-subpages: /Talk/TalkAboutTalk


You can link to other subpages: Charlize Theron/Filmography or even charlize Theron/Filmography.




We can do tables:

Item one	Item two
Item three	Item four

Fancy table:

Item one	Item two
Item three	Item four
	Item five

Here's another way to make a table:

||||||Heading||

||cell 1||cell2||cell 3||

||cell 1||||spanning 2 columns||

(We haven't implemented that way of doing tables, as you can see.)

Very often you might need to use special characters, like these: ü À α

See Wiki special characters for what you should and shouldn't do.

You can make ^superscripts and _subscripts and you can control the font size and color!

• f(x) = a₀ + a₁x₁ + a₂x₂² + a₃x₃³ + ...

• f(x) = a₀ + a₁x₁ + a₂x₂² + a₃x₃³ + ...

If you want to redirect traffic going to one page to another page (with a better title, for example), then use the command #REDIRECT pagename at the top of the page. See LarrysText for an example. We are planning to automate the conversion of links from the old style, LikeThis, to the new style, like this. In the meantime, you can use the #REDIRECT pagename function. To look at the history of the old page, click on the "(redirected from OldPageName)" link at the top of the new page.

Then, go forth and be bold in updating pages!
