Help:Go button

The Go button appears on all MediaWiki pages in the standard skin, next to the search button. The function of the go button is to display a page directly, instead of first having to select it from the search result page. In other words, it allows you to quickly navigate from page to page without following links.

Use
To view a page, just enter its name in the search field and click "Go". The Go button is more complex than it looks. It works as follows (each time, only continuing if there is no match):

 * 1) Check existence of the page exactly as it is entered, e.g. Test Page and Test page are different pages (but most projects have case-insensitivity of the first character of the whole page name, and in the case of a namespace prefix, of the first character after that).
 * 2) Try all lower case (with the first letter capitalized), e.g. if you type "TEST PAGE", Test page and not Test Page would be displayed.
 * 3) Try the version with all words capitalized.
 * 4) Try the all upper case version.
 * 5) Try a case insensitive title search that also matches partial page titles. If there are several matches, priority is as follows: 1) main namespace, 2) talk pages for main namespace, 3) user pages, 4) user talk pages, 5) {project name}* pages, 6) {project name} talk pages, 7) image pages, 8) image talk pages. That is, for example, if both a talk page with the title and a normal page exist, the normal page is viewed.
 * 6) *Stopwords are ignored in this title search.
 * 7) *Prefixes like "User:" and ":" are currently treated as words in the title search, but not in the previous matching routines, where they are treated as proper namespace prefixes.
 * 8) Carry out a full text search as if you clicked the "Search" button; see Help:Searching.

If you use the Go button wisely, it will allow you to quickly jump to your most frequently used pages. It is also a good idea to use it for unambiguous searches -- if a direct match fails, it will always fall back to the normal search anyway, and if it succeeds, you are immediately taken where you want to go. In general, the go button generates little server load, and therefore usually remains functional even if the fulltext search is deactivated for performance reasons.

Special features
A special feature is that applying Go on an IP number gives the User contributions of that IP.

Depending on the contents of MediaWiki:Nogomatch there may be a link to the edit page of the non-existent page, see e.g. w:MediaWiki:Nogomatch. A useful side-effect is that this allows going conveniently to a page on another wiki, by adding the interwiki prefix, albeit that the text "create an article with this title" would not be accurate for the link, in the case of an existing page. Also the CSS-class of the link is "new", not "ex4tiw".

* This is a parameter you set while configuring MediaWiki.

Help:HTML in wikitext

Permitted HTML
The following HTML elements are currently permitted:

The following excerpt from OutputPage.php additionally shows which attributes are allowed.

 * Update: In 1.4rc1, the removeHTMLtags function is located in Parser.php.

 * Update: In 1.5, the removeHTMLtags function is now located in Sanitizer.php.

For many HTML elements, more convenient wikitext code is available, see Help:Editing. On the other hand, HTML tags allow an id that can be referenced in one's user style css, and allows the tag to be used as link target.

/* private */ function removeHTMLtags( $text ) {		wfProfileIn( "OutputPage::removeHTMLtags" ); $htmlpairs = array( # Tags that must be closed			"b", "i", "u", "font", "big", "small", "sub", "sup", "h1",			"h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "cite", "code", "em", "s",			"strike", "strong", "tt", "var", "div", "center",			"blockquote", "ol", "ul", "dl", "table", "caption", "pre",			"ruby", "rt", "rb" , "rp"		); $htmlsingle = array(			"br", "p", "hr", "li", "dt", "dd"		); $htmlnest = array( # Tags that can be nested--??			"table", "tr", "td", "th", "div", "blockquote", "ol", "ul",			"dl", "font", "big", "small", "sub", "sup"		); $tabletags = array( # Can only appear inside table			"td", "th", "tr"		);

$htmlsingle = array_merge( $tabletags, $htmlsingle ); $htmlelements = array_merge( $htmlsingle, $htmlpairs );

$htmlattrs = array( # Allowed attributes--no scripting, etc.			"title", "align", "lang", "dir", "width", "height",			"bgcolor", "clear", /* BR */ "noshade", /* HR */			"cite", /* BLOCKQUOTE, Q */ "size", "face", "color",			/* FONT */ "type", "start", "value", "compact",			/* For various lists, mostly deprecated but safe */			"summary", "width", "border", "frame", "rules",			"cellspacing", "cellpadding", "valign", "char",			"charoff", "colgroup", "col", "span", "abbr", "axis",			"headers", "scope", "rowspan", "colspan", /* Tables */			"id", "class", "name", "style" /* For CSS */		);

E.g., element "a" is not allowed, and the wikitext

Main Page

produces the HTML code

&lt;a href="meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"&gt;Main Page&lt;/a&gt;

which renders as the wikitext, not working as a link.

Span
, a generic inline text container, is now allowed on default MediaWiki installations (as of version 1.5). Span can be ID'd, classed, or styled:

This is red text. This is identified text. This is classed text. produces:

This is red text.

This is identified text.

This is classed text.

IDs and classes are used in conjunction with stylesheets to give a piece of text a descriptive class (or unique identifier) and to refer to that in a stylesheet.

Note that in most cases, one can use a more descriptive tag, for instance,  (which can be classed, identified, and styled, as well) to indicate an important piece of text, or   (subject to the same things as strong) to indicate an emphasized piece of text. For instance, the above might be better reformulated as

This is red text.

"This is red text."

This not only draws the user's attention to the text, but can also alert those who are using nonvisual browsers or have sight impairments, etc. to the fact that that is emphasized text.

Font
Note: This element is deprecated (should not be used) in favour of   .

For some attributes, like color, one can also use

a red word

or

a red word.

giving

a red word

a red word

The font element can even be used to replace span, e.g.

a height of 20000 ft above sea level

giving

a height of 20000 ft above sea level

(note the hover box over "20000 ft").

Use a css line like

.title {color: red; }

to see which text has a hover box.

Div
E.g. to assign the class "red" to a text one can put

example text

which gives example text which is in red if the css line

.red {color:red}

is applicable.

This is suitable if the color is specifically intended to be red; if it is just for emphasis a more general term for the class would be more appropriate, because css allows the user to choose another method of emphasis (another color, bold, enlarged, etc.).

Note that many readers will not have their own css with such lines as ".red {color:red}", so one cannot refer to "the red text above", etc.

Help:ISBN links

For a book with ISBN e.g. 0131103628, Special:Booksources/0131103628 gives the text of MediaWiki:Booksourcetext and links regarding the book according to the value of $wgBookstoreListEn in Language.php, currently: /* private */ $wgBookstoreListEn = array(	"AddALL" => "http://www.addall.com/New/Partner.cgi?query=$1&type=ISBN",	"PriceSCAN" => "http://www.pricescan.com/books/bookDetail.asp?isbn=$1",	"Barnes & Noble" => "http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=$1",	"Amazon.com" => "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=$1" );

Alternative
Use a template like Template:ISBN allowing ISBN 193151447X to produce something like:

ISBN 193151447X

However, often a separate page would be desirable. This can be done, but requires a page like 193151447X for every book. Those pages can call Template:Bk, so that they only have to contain.

Help:Import

Depending on the project settings, sysops can import files: it is in the list of special pages, or Special:Import can be used. However, on Wikimedia it is currently disabled and gives "No transwiki import sources have been defined and direct history uploads are disabled." There are still some important things that need to be fixed, such as logging, before this is turned on.

How to export and the format of exported pages is described at Help:export.

Because of the simple readable file format the XML file can easily be edited between exporting and importing. This should be done with caution and integrity, one can make antedated edits and use false user names, and in combination with deletion, one can "change history". Applications of this editing include:
 * adding a note to the edit summary about the importing
 * changing user names and/or page names to avoid name conflicts (just between the title tags and between the username tags or also in links and signatures)
 * changing namespace names into the generic or the applicable ones (ditto)

After importing, the metadata of edits can be seen in the page histories and the user contributions, but not in recent changes (neither positioned at the time of the original edit, nor at the time of importing).

If the import involves edits under a user name which in the importing project is used by somebody else than the occurrences of the user name in the XML file should first be replaced by another name to avoid ambiguity. If the user name was not used yet in the importing project then the user contributions are available anyway, although an account is not automatically created.

Just like when a page is referred to in a link, and/or put in a URL, generic namespace names are automatically converted, and if a prefix is not a namespace name the page will arrive in the main namespace. However, e.g. "Meta:" may be ignored (dropped) on a project that uses that prefix for interwiki linking. It may be desirable to change it in the XML file to "Project:" before importing.

If a page name exists already, importing revisions of a page with that name causes the page histories to be merged. Note that after inserting a revision between two existing revisions in the page history, the change made by the user who made the next edit seems different from what it actually has been: to see the actual change made by the user one has to take the diff between the two already existing revisions, not the diff with respect to the inserted one. Therefore this should not be done except to reconstruct the true page history.

An edit summary may refer to, and possibly link to, another page. This may be confusing when the page has been imported but the target page has not.

The edit summary does not automatically show that the page has been imported, but that can be added to the edit summaries in the XML file before importing. That can avoid some potential sources of ambiguity and/or confusion. When editing the XML file with find/replace, note that adding a text to the edit summaries requires distinguishing between edits which already have an edit summary, hence comment tags in the XML file, and those without these tags. If there are multiple pairs of comment tags, only the last one is effective.

For a large-scale transfer, somebody with sufficient system privileges can move data within the server, which is more practical than sending large XML files from the server to a user's local computer and then back to the server.

Help:Inputbox

The inputbox extension is a MediaWiki extension by Erik Möller to add predefined HTML forms to wiki pages. It was originally created for the purpose of adding a Create an article box to Wikinews. It requires MediaWiki 1.5 and an extensions script (see Installation below).

General syntax
Inputboxes are constructed like this:

The type parameter is mandatory. All other parameters are optional.

Parameters
Applying create to an existing page simply gives the edit page. In that case editintro and preload are ignored.

Caveats

 * Variables, parameters, and templates are not allowed in values of parameters of inputbox; see Template talk:Inputbox demo.

Installation
require_once("extensions/inputbox.php"); NOTE: Make sure that it is still above the closing php tag so that it looks like this: require_once("extensions/inputbox.php"); ?>
 * 1) Download and save the file inputbox.php to the extensions folder of your MediaWiki installation.
 * 2) Open and edit the LocalSettings.php file by adding the following line near the bottom:

Examples

 * Template talk:New city in Morocco.
 * w:Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)
