| Wikipedia has '''related sites''' for non-encyclopedic content.
| |
|
| |
| ==Related sites==
| |
| Battlestar Wiki is for prose articles about subjects considered [[encyclopedia|encyclopedic]] (along with some topics that would typically be found in an [[almanac]]), as well as content that could be considered [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Lurker's Guide-like] or words that you could find in a [[Wikipedia:dictionary|dictionary]].
| |
|
| |
| Any article that simply defines a word, or short phrase, as you would find in a typical [[dictionary]], and that isn't considered a ''Battlestar'' unique word or phrase (such as [[Red Line]], [[volton (TOS)]], or [[frak]]) and cannot be expanded into an encyclopedic entry, should be contributed to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia]]'s sister project, [[Wiktionary:Main page|Wiktionary]].
| |
|
| |
| Original source text, such as from a [[Wikipedia:public domain|public domain]] book that you want to post to make it more accessible, should be contributed to one of Wikipedia's other sister projects, [[Wikisource:Main page|Wikisource]].
| |
|

| ===Linking to the related sites===
| | __NOTOC__ |
| Say you have an uncommon word in an article that you write, that you think people might not understand -- and it is not ''Battlestar'' specific. So you're tempted to try and link to it on [[Battlestar Wiki]], but there isn't enough to say about that word to make a real encyclopedia entry.
| |
|
| |
|
| Link to its Wiktionary entry. (If Wiktionary doesn't have it yet, do everyone a favor and add it, even if it's just a brief definition. Other Wiktionarians will help flesh it out.)
| | '''''Battlestar Wiki''''' has '''related sites''' for non-encyclopedic content. Linking to these sites can be done easily by using interwiki links. For example, you can link to the "Dog" article on [[w:|Wikipedia]] using: |
| | :<tt><nowiki>[[w:Dog]]</nowiki></tt> |
| | In this case, <code>w:</code> is the ''interwiki prefix'' associated with Wikipedia. A list of all interwiki prefixes can be found [[BW:INTER|here]]. |
|
| |
|
| Instead of the whole URL, you can use a wiki link similar to a regular Wikipedia link but with a special prefix. For example,
| | When using interlanguage links, beware of the difference between: |
| :<tt><nowiki>[[wiktionary:house]]</nowiki></tt> | | :<tt><nowiki>[[de:Hauptseite]]</nowiki></tt> |
| will link to the Wiktionary definition of the word "house". In your article it will appear as:
| | :*Means the German version of this article can be found at [[:de:Hauptseite]] |
| :[[wiktionary:house]]
| | :*Link does not appear in the article text, but in the "In other languages" section of the sidebar |
| you can hide the "wiktionary:" part by adding a "pipe" (vertical bar) character:
| |
| :<tt><nowiki>[[wiktionary:house|]]</nowiki></tt>
| |
| as explained on the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wikipedia links)|previous page]], so that the result is:
| |
| :[[wiktionary:house|house]]
| |
|
| |
|
| The other projects have similar shortcuts. For more examples, see [[Wikipedia:How to link to Wikimedia projects|How to link to Wikimedia projects]].
| | :<tt><nowiki>[[:de:Hauptseite]]</nowiki></tt> |
| | :*Produces a link to [[:de:Hauptseite]] in the article text |

Battlestar Wiki has related sites for non-encyclopedic content. Linking to these sites can be done easily by using interwiki links. For example, you can link to the "Dog" article on Wikipedia using:
- [[w:Dog]]
In this case, w: is the interwiki prefix associated with Wikipedia. A list of all interwiki prefixes can be found here.
When using interlanguage links, beware of the difference between:
- [[de:Hauptseite]]
- Means the German version of this article can be found at de:Hauptseite
- Link does not appear in the article text, but in the "In other languages" section of the sidebar
- [[:de:Hauptseite]]
These types of links still support piping as shown in the previous tutorial page.
