Reference tools
[change | change source]- makeref tool generates wikitext refs
- isbn2wiki tool generates wikitext refs for ISBNs
- refill tool expands bare urls into full refs
- "Once there, paste the article name into the first box and in the second box select "simple" for Simple English Wikipedia. I usually uncheck the box 'Do not add access dates', but that's up to you. Then click on 'Fix page'. It shows the proposed changes. Then click on 'Preview / Save on Wiki'. It will automatically add citation templates and leave you in 'change view' of the article. Even though you can add a cite web template yourself, the tool saves you time and will work on most bare urls (but not urls showing in a full source citation)." --User:Rus793, via my talk page
Redlinks
[change | change source]"Red links are simply links to articles that haven't been created yet. We link to words that are not on the Basic 850 wordlist. An article can have red links, just not too many red links. What constitutes too many red links is more or less a matter of experience and/or opinion." --User:Rus793, via my talk page
Stubs
[change | change source]"A stub should be a good start towards becoming an article. It has links, categories, is usually shorter than 1500 characters and ideally has source citations. It has enough information to very basically explain the subject. Here are some examples of [decent] stubs: Cannon Ball (roller coaster), Golden Mountains of Altai, Linear city model, Bacillus (shape) and Bithynia." --User:Rus793, via my talk page
