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
- There are pages not limited to specific companies. See examples: Auto Industry Timeline, Establishing Overseas Operations
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.
