Tags, wikilinks and stuff
There are certain tags which will effect words they are "wrapped around":
Formatting of words
The ' are used in formatting words:
- ''Italics'' (2x ') will make Italics
- '''Bold''' (3x ') to write in Bold
- '''''Hi all!''''' (5x ') will print Hi all!
Placing headlines
Headlines come in various sizes.
== Level 2 == === Level 3 === ==== Level 4 ==== ===== Level 5 ===== ====== Level 6 ======
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
How to wikify
This is probably the most important of the tags. To wikify a sentence means to make the sentence link to the corresponding article on the Prime-Wiki. This is done by putting [[ ]] around the word.
An example:
"The person who runs the [[GIMPS]] project is [[George Woltman]]"
will make:
"The person who runs the GIMPS project is George Woltman".
It it also possible to link using a different title. That is done by using | inside the [[ ]] to seperate link and title.
An example would be:
"Certain [[Lucas-Lehmer test|tests]] are used in [[GIMPS]], which is the biggest mathematical [[Distributed computing project|project]]"
which would turn up as:
"Certain tests are used in GIMPS, which is the biggest mathematical project"
Creating a link to a category a : has to be put before. The code [[:Category:Project]] will create Category:Project or with [[:Category:Project|Proj.]] displays as Proj..
Plurals of article names can be obtained by adding the 's' outside the brackets: [[Project]] is shown as Project but [[project]]s as projects.
Links
To add a link to a page outside Prime-Wiki you could either just type the URL:
"To get more info, please visit https://www.google.com"
or you could make a description by putting it in the form [link title]. That would turn
"To get more info, please visit [https://www.google.com Google]"
into "To get more info, please visit Google"
Currents default links with icons
Links containing a designated domain are shown with an icon behind the link. The following options are implemented:
- MersenneForum:
[https://www.mersenneforum.org/index.php Forum]creates Forum - The Prime Database:
[https://primes.utm.edu/primes/status.php Status]creates Status - Wolfram Mathworld:
[http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ Home]creates Home - GIMPS Hompage:
[https://www.mersenne.org/ GIMPS]creates GIMPS
For Wikipedia an internal shortcut is set, so the calling is slightly different:
- Wikipedia:
[[Wikipedia:Pierre de Fermat|Fermat]]creates Fermat
- (Can be done as usual but longer:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_de_Fermat Fermat]creates Fermat)
References
A reference is inserted in the page by using the <ref>...</ref> tags. So this[1] (in the page as this<ref>Here is the reference.</ref>) will create a numbered link to the reference list, which has to be included by using the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page.
Math symbols
To write mathematical formulas, insert <math> and </math> around your formula.
For example
"The [[Sierpiński problem]] is about numbers of the form <math>k*2^n+1</math>"
would show
- "The Sierpiński problem is about numbers of the form [math]\displaystyle{ k*2^n+1 }[/math]"
For more detailed help with math formulas, see math rendering
Talk pages
Every page (not specials) got the ability to create a talk page to discuss topics around that page, template or user.
To create a talk page click the link "Discussion" on that page, use the link "Add topic" to create a new topic, fill in "Subject" (the header line of this topic) and your text in the normal edit field like in any article. Please put 4 tildes ~~~~ at last which will create a link to your user and the date/time of edit.
Answering on this topic you should indent your answer by using : in front of the text, so this could be look like this:
A topic by someone. :An answer by someone else. ::Another answer.
which gives
A topic by someone.
- An answer by someone else.
- Another answer.
Creating a new topic always use the "Add topic" link.
Please close your answer always with the 4 tildes!
