Help:Editing the Wiki

Editing the Wiki

Welcome! This site runs on MediaWiki, the same software that powers Wikipedia. Every page here is part of a living archive. Anyone with editing access can contribute, correct, and expand the record.

Two Ways to Edit

• Visual Editor (the pencil icon): Click, type, and save. No code required.
• Source Editor (the { } icon): Use this for precise formatting, citations, or templates.

You can practice safely in the Sandbox.

Headings and Sections

MediaWiki creates automatic section headings using equal signs:

== Section Heading ==
=== Subsection ===
==== Sub-subsection ====

Once a page has four or more headings, a Table of Contents appears automatically.

Links

To link to another page:

[[Horse Racing]]

To rename a link:

[[Newmarket|the racing capital]]

External link:

[https://artifactsofcapitalism.org Visit the project homepage]

Citations

Use <ref>...</ref> for footnotes and <references /> to display them.

Example:

Charles II raced at Newmarket.<ref>Mike Huggins, ''Horse Racing and British Society'' (Boydell, 2018), 25.</ref>

== References ==
<references />

Images

To add an image:

[[File:Charles_II_on_Horse.jpg|thumb|left|Charles II on horse (Peter Lely)]]

Alignment options: left, right, center, or none.

Always check image copyright and credit sources appropriately.

Templates and Transcluded Text

Green-shaded text in VisualEditor usually means it's pulled from another page. To edit it: 1. Click once on the box and choose the link shown. 2. Edit the source page directly (for example: Horse Racing/Newmarket).

Categories

Add categories at the end of the page:

[[Category:Objects]]
[[Category:People]]

Common Fixes

• Image on wrong side → change right to left.
• Section not showing → make sure both == signs are balanced.
• References missing → check that <references/> appears at the end.

Good Habits

• Write clear edit summaries when you save.
• Keep tone factual and collegial.
• Leave a traceable citation whenever possible.
• Remember: every version is archived, so mistakes are reversible.
