| This page is an introduction to editing [[Main Page |SklogWiki]]. SklogWiki uses the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki wiki package], the very same as that used by Wikipedia. So, if you have ever contributed to Wikipedia then you are already familiar with how to edit SklogWiki. If not, then editing is fairly simple once one has had a little experience, and this page is intended to help in this process. See also the [[SklogWiki style guide]].

| ==How to edit an existing page== | | |
| | Sklogwiki is, and hopefully will remain, open-access. That is to say, anybody with an internet connection |
| | can contribute to and edit SklogWiki. Here is how to do so... |

| ==How to create a new page==
| | |
| In order to create a new page, enter the name of the page into the search query box on the left, and then click on '''Go'''.
| |
| If the desired page does not exist you will see:
| |
| :'''There is no page titled "page_you_want_to_create".''' You can <FONT COLOR="#cd2626">create this page</FONT>.
| |
| Simply click on the red link and start creating the new page.

| ==Adding a table to a page== | | ==Note== |
| For an example of a table see the page : [[Tables]].
| | Due to problems with automated vandalism the Carnegie Mellon University [http://recaptcha.net/ reCAPTCHA] system has been installed. Thus, for |
| ==DOI and References==
| | an edit to be accepted a "CAPTCHA" (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) must be answered correctly. |
| Link to published papers by using (when possible) its [http://www.doi.org/ Digital Object Identifier]. The Digital Object Identifier
| |
| of an on-line paper can almost always be found somewhere in the on-line abstract of an article.
| |
| By placing this code after <nowiki>http://dx.doi.org/</nowiki> one is led directly to the on-line version of the paper.
| |
| | |
| Using the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php Cite] extension:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki><ref>[http://dx.doi.org/---DOI--- Author "Title", Journal '''volume''' pp. firstPage-lastPage (year)]</ref></nowiki>
| |
| | |
| There is no particular preference in SklogWiki regarding the use of the serial comma in the author list.
| |
| ===Use of the Cite extension===
| |
| The extension [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php Cite] allows references to be added in the body of an article in the following manner:
| |
| <nowiki><ref> Publication to be referenced </ref></nowiki>
| |
| and in the references section place the tag
| |
| <nowiki>==Refereces==</nowiki>
| |
| <nowiki><references/></nowiki>
| |
| See [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php Cite] for more details, such as multiple references to the same article.
| |
| ===No reference given===
| |
| Ideally almost all of the material in SklogWiki should be accompanied with a reference. However, if the original reference cannot be located, or will be added later, the please use the <nowiki>{{reference needed}}</nowiki> template, which produces a question mark citation like this {{reference needed}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Jmol==
| |
| {{Jmol_general|C60.pdb|C<sub>60</sub>}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| It is also possible to add a [http://jmol.sourceforge.net/ Jmol] applet to a page. Jmol is an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. The prefered method in SklogWiki is to also create a new page which solely contains the molecular structure file, preferably in [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do Protein Data Bank] (pdb) format.
| |
| Then on the page where one wishes to display the molecule insert the following line:
| |
| | |
| :<nowiki>{{Jmol_general|File.pdb|Caption}}</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| For example, on this page, to produce the rotating [[C60]] structure on the right, we have inserted the line:
| |
| | |
| :<nowiki>{{Jmol_general|C60.pdb|C<sub>60</sub>}}</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| which reads the structural data from the page [[C60.pdb]].

| ==Open access==
| |
| Sklogwiki is, and will remain, open-access. That is to say, anybody with an internet connection
| |
| can contribute to and edit SklogWiki.
