|
This page is in need of updating.
Need some basic wiki-editing instructions here.
|
Templates
didn't I already create a page or section about templates somewhere? -W.
Ways of displaying and formatting content:
- Template:Dbrk: show double brackets around first argument, like a wikipage link (but don't actually link) - [[like this]]
Various conditions under which the complete text of an external article might be posted in Issuepedia:
- Template:Authored: reprinted with Issuepedia-specific permission
- Template:Copyrt: reprinted without permission
- Template:Fiskreprint: reprinted without permission specifically for fisking (maybe this is redundant?)
- Template:Fisking-incomplete: use this when you've posted the article but haven't finished fisking yet
- Template:Licensed: reprinted under the terms of a specific license
News Sources
Places to find current news, especially items not generally covered by the mainstream press
Outdated
These articles should be rewritten, updated, or scrapped:
- Article Types: some of the main types of articles, and where to find examples
- Contributors: actual people who have contributed substantially to Issuepedia
