Revolupedia:Contribute
Revolupedia is an ever-growing collection and information relevant to a diverse range of topics. To help new contributors adjust to our project, here are some basic elements about editing the encyclopedia which you should know.
Getting started
To begin editing, simply click either the "edit" or "edit source" tabs on the top of the page.
Formatting
Capitalization
Follow English rules relating to capitalization, including in the title. If it is a proper noun, always capitalize it. For example, compare Union of Soviet Socialist Republics with Soviet (government body). The former is the name of a country (a proper noun), whereas "government body" is not a proper noun.
References
References or citations are generally in the form of inline footnotes.[1] This aids readers in seeing where a claim is attributing its source in an easy manner.
- ↑ Like this.
References get a special section at the bottom of the page: ==References== in the source editor. Immediately under this section, put a reference list to tell the software where to put the references. In the source editor, simply does this by placing <references /> or {{Reflist}} under the references section. In visual editor, you may just add it in the "insert" tab.
Be certain to put references after the punctuation mark if at the end of a sentence; like this,[2] but not this[2].
