User:Marjan Tomki SI/WP links

I often move from device to device and can't always carry bookmarks or similar data. I'll put here links related to wikpedia editing, and other WM projects, partly till I get stuff memorized, partly as a quick referrence index.

Advanced formatting, templates and how that works

• Templates documentation, and help, shown: {{tl}}; some useful templates follow
• Help:Columns {{colbegin}} - as tried here also adapts number of columns to width of browser window

{{colbegin}} contents {{colend}}

• Help:Footnotes formatting
• {{Lorem}} ipsum template - usefull for testing of formatting, e.g.

{{lorem}} <br> {{lorem}}

• CAT:RWP - redirect with possibilities
• FYI: MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN; User talk:Haldraper#Reference errors on 8 March
• policies and guidelines - this comprises much I listed above, and redundance shall - hopefully - gradually get reduced
• Help:Magic words for beginners, Help:Magic words, MW:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions
• Help:CS1 errors about displaying e.g. errors with citation template(s) used (need to create/update user's CSS; will do that when I have time)

Sister projects

• WP:SIS how to, {{Wikipedia's sister projects}} includes list of projects and interwiki links to use to get user there, but not list of templates like {{wikt}} (Wiktionary has ... about ...). I saw such list but don't recall where.

The problem I have at the moment is to send user by tl wikt to wikt entry's etymology section, but am not sure yet how.

Articles to see how something is done

Wales, Enciclopaedia Britannica, Einstein → to see how WD hopefully works correctly - see here

On WP and projects history

Including contexts of time (what others did wrong and WP rules were developed to prevent etc.)

• history of wikipedia
• Wikipedia:Nupedia and Wikipedia - shows author recognition, pro and general editors; also see Talk:Citizendium/Archive 3#Owner

Neutral point of view

Conservapedia, Flat Earth case cases

• Conservapedia - shows an (intentionally) biased -pedia

Google conservapedia flat earth

Cpedia didn't go quite that far when I looked (202104), but Google finds informative other pages with that search string. Some of those carry mostly drawings; this one what a (probably a bit prepotent) youth thinks on that (==wtf?), what are some of the craziest entries in the Conservapedia @quora. I think I need to show some of these to some people.

• The Scientific Method Syllabus - Fall 2010 good to see why verifiability principle is important (within any science and knowledge). North Carolina STB: a warning of corruptability of "official science",

Catholic Church sensitive articles

• Talk:Catholic Church sexual abuse cases/Archive 10#Did over 30 bishops resign? both problems and solutions cases, and much about sources
• Pope Benedict XVI Pretty extremely long intro. Reasonable well sourced (except young years; about that is both little data and sources). Problem with link shown as his father's name, that resolves to something else.

Talk page seem civil. Main page semiprotected; casual (IP) users spot mistakes and propose corrections, which seem to get implemented.

References

Other sensitive

• Fatwa - seems well done, to check WD also.

Unexpected behavior of TOC

I see TOC (table of contents) here is collapsible (hide/show), but it is not so in some other projects. It seems dependant - and I intend to see, where the difference is.

It seems it started concurrently with inserting the following notice here. I expected that not to work, because template was inserted into nowiki area, but template call might be other than wiki markup.

Not necessarily {{aan}} template is the reason (I put it in comments also, and it still worked (and in other subpages too). It might either be applicable to whole page (all subpages), comment wouldn't make in inactive (should try remove aan string) - but that's for later.

 {{aan}}  at the beginning might ask for collapsible  TOC (to be tested).

It took some time before I returned to above note. I got to the behaviour of the TOC problem after I saw a very long and not easily surveyable? scanable? to find out which piece is of interest to me article, that was extremely interesting to me, in bs wikipedia. I saw something as partialy collapsible TOCs, that I thought could emulate outline view with hiding and showing contents (or sublevels of info) elsewhere in Wikipedia I thought would greatly improve usability of that (and other articles of similar size and complexity). I knew - and used with a lot of success, and joy - outlining tools elsewhere (found it for the first time in Word Perfect and probably still have that app backed up on some CD somewhere).

As standard appearances got changed sometime in or before y. 2024, and TOC got moved on left sidebar or hidden into a menu under icon left-top, so what I tested before above is no more reproducible. At the time I wrote above I also didn't yet know about {{tl}} template investigation tool, and It seem my old note is not so clear to me now as it was when i wrote it, so I also try to clarify this subsection's contents a bit (also using tl template to link to aan documentation).

As I think and (hopefully better) understand now, neither emphasizing with aan, putting it in comment, putting it between nowiki tags, nor putting it in tl template could invoke the template I then suspected of influence on collapsibility of TOC. I knew it should't, but my troubleshooting experience showed me that - when necessary - I had to test everything if it really does what I thought, or documentations showed, it should do.

It seems now it had to be something else and not connected to aan template, and if it was still testable, I would try finding in with systematical testing in preview and show changes. With newer WP looks being able to show contents in a structured way in something like outline seem not to be testable, but for some types of contents could still be useful. Delayed. 20241119.
