Creating a new page for a company/organization

Basic rules

  • Follow conventions. There is Template for a page.

Wiki syntax

  • Wiki syntax (except for several advanced functions) apply to Media Wiki. For example,
Wikipedia Cheatsheet
Wikipedia How to Edit

Pages to create

(A)Required: Romanized title [[category:Shashi(R)]] (e.g., Ohaio Shuritsu Daigaku)
(B)Advised: Japanese title [[category:Shashi(J)]] (e.g., オハイオ州立大学)
(C)If available: English title [[category:shashi(E)]] (e.g., The Ohio State University)
  • (B) and (C) are connected with (A) by writing
#redirect[[Ohaio Shuritsu Daigaku]]
Tip
  • If you are determined to create 2-3 pages at once, it will be faster to create (B) first.
(1) Type the Japanese name in the search box, and create (B).
(2) Write #redirect[[Ohaio Shuritsu Daigaku]], and save. (At the bottom, don't forget [[category:shashi(J)|おはいおしゅうりつたいかく]])
(3) Click the red words, and create (A).
(4) After making (A), create (C) and connect it with (A).

Categories

  • To make a category, type like the following examples:
[[category:OSU]]                (Library)
[[category:Manufacturing]]      (Nikkei Goo Classification)
[[category:A-2:農業的サービス業]]  (Nagao Bunko Classification)
[[category:shashi(R)]]          (*page type)
*As for Shashi(J), a pipe ( | ) is used for Japanese 50-on sorting. For example,
[[category:オハイオ州立大学|おはいおしゅうりつたいかく]]
Without the pipe and kana description, the page is automatically sorted by the characters at the head (e.g., 「オ」「日」「松」etc.).

Search engine

  • Wiki Media does not search for the word with fewer than four letters. If you have specific concerns about the page for searching, it is advised to avoid two/three-letter words (e.g., OSU).

Other

  • Currently there is no fixed rule of transliterating 日本. It is either Nihon or Nippon. Simply follow Worldcat or follow it if you find either way used by the company/organization. But for the ease of searching, it is advised to create both pages (i.e., Roman alphabet) and connect one with the other.

Creating a new page for other projects

If you made a page with a wrong title

  • Don't panic. For the time being, please direct the wrong page to Wrong page by writing #redirect[[Wrong page]]. If the wrong title may be a common mistake for other users, you can also redirect the page to the right one.

If you want to retrieve an older version

  • Click the "history" tab at the top of the page, and select the version you want to retrieve. When the page is shown, edit and save it as a new one.
