  • Double first names: no spaces and no hyphens are used, e.g. Jean-Pierre Mazat is written as 'Mazat JP'.
  • Double family names: Hyphenated double names (e.g. Aber-Nein) are written as 'Aber-Nein'; if double names are separated by a space (e.g. Aber Ja) use the space, 'Aber Ja'.
  • Special letters (umlauts or accented letters) should be written as: ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue, é=e; â=a; æ=ae, å=aa, ø=oe.


1. create Mueller EF
  • Type “Mueller EF” into the search bar ->search
  • Create the page “Mueller EF” on this wiki ->click
  • Edit, type in "{{Person}}"
  • Edit with form, fill in person profile information


2. create Mueller Engelbert F
  • Create Mueller Engelbert: again #REDIRECT Mueller EF (optionally, if person uses this name too)


This puts the focus on the central profile page Mueller EF while all redirects are possible and do not interfere with the system.


Profiles with wrong redirects
If you run across old redirects, i.e. Hauser Daniel as the main page and Hauser D with a redirect to Hauser Daniel, please correct them according to the following procedure:
  • 1. Hauser E: DELETE
  • 2. Hauser Daniel MOVE to Hauser E

Formatting

Addresses: Format for cities

  • English city names are preferred: e.g. München is written as 'Munich', Wien as 'Vienna'.
  • No punctuation: e.g. 'St Petersburg'
  • Double city names: Hyphenated double names (e.g. Aber-Nein) are written as 'Aber-Nein'; if double names are separated by a space (e.g. Rio de Janeiro) use the space, 'Rio de Janeiro'.
  • Double city names with lower case letters: use lower case as 'Rio de Janeiro'.

Figures

  • Several figures do not change size when the zoom of the screen is modified, hence they change in proportion with the text. In many cases, a zoom of 125% is considered as a standard [Ctrl-O]. Therefore, formatting of such figures should be optimized at a zoom of 125%.

Pictures

Uploaded pictures should not have more than 1200px on the longest side. Profile pictures of persons should have this ratio: 3:4.


Automatic tables

If you want to create an automatic table you have to write down the next code (adapting it to your necessities), after the code you would find the explanation to each part.

{{#ask:[[Category:O2k-Workshops]] [[Additional label::IOC]] |?Has title=Reference |format=broadtable |limit=500 |offset=0 |sort=Was written by |order=descending}}

  • #ask:[[Category:xxx]] will search on the category where the information is, you can search over more than one category, for that you have to write:#ask:[[Category:xxx]][[Category:xxx]]
  • [[Additional label::xxx]] in this area you have to write what you want to search, in which field, for example those pages that in the keyword field contein O2k and are from year 2012 -->[[Keyword::O2k]][[Year::2012]]
  • |?Has title=reference |?Was published in year |?Diseases With the question mark you selected the fields you want to appear in the table
  • |format=broadtable |limit=500 |offset=0 this line define the format of the table. it´s necessary to write limit 500 because if it´s too short it would not appear all of them.
  • |sort= Was written by |sort=was published in year |sort=Has title |sort=Was submitted in year Here you selected the field from which the table will be sorted.
  • |order=descending or ascending}} choose one of both options to order the table.
Attention-
  • For automatic publication tables sort by Was published in year / for automatic abstract tables sort by Was submitted in year
  • If in the pages where you are searching to create the automatic table, exist the label articletype, this page WILL NOT appear in the table.
