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
righttoleft. - 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.
