Editing Shortcuts

edit

If Unreferenced

edit

If an article needs references but you are unable to find them yourself, you can tag the article with the templates {{Unreferenced}}, {{Not verified}}, or {{Primarysources}}. It's often useful to indicate specific statements that need references by placing {{fact}} ("citation needed") after the sentence.

For Bad Layout

edit

use {{wikify}}, this tells the readers that this page is incorrectly formatted and to format it as suggested in the Guide to layout and the Manual of Style. When using Wikify place the month and year afterwards, {{wikify|November 2006}}.

Stubs

edit

To mark an article as a stub use {{stub}} or to mark it for expantion use {{expand}}. To mark a "section" as a stub use the tag {{sectstub}} or {{section stub}}. To request that a "section" is expanded (This is done if the section has all the main information but needs to be expanded to be comprehensive), you can use {{expandsect}}.

Adverts

edit

if an article or part of an article reads as an advert either use {{advert}} which tells the user "To meet Wikipedia's quality standards and comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, this article or section may require cleanup. This article or section reads like an advertisement.

If the article contains blatant advertising it can be marked for speedy deletion with {{db-spam}}.

Neutrality

edit

If the neutrality of an article or section of an article are disputed place this in the disputed section {{npov}}

Deletion

edit

to mark an article for deletion add, {{subst:prod|Write concern here}}, Once marked and saved prod will automatically be "dated" and filled out, this is generated by the "subst:prod|- - - - (reason)"
