Using templates

Templates are a type of page that contain boilerplate text that is intended to be displayed on more than one page in Wikipedia.

This Tip of the day box is an example of a template (there are several versions actually), and besides being displayed here it is displayed on many userpages as well.

Template names start with the prefix "Template:" followed by the page name. The main version of the template you are reading right now is called "Template:totd".

To display a template on a page, go to the target page, click "edit", and add the template's name (with or without the prefix) surrounded by double curly brackets to the page's source text. (The text you see in the edit box when you click edit this page is called "source text", because it is a lot like programming code, which is called "source code").

Including a template on a page in this way is called "transclusion". Here's an example:

To include the Template:Philosophy topics, type this at the end of the philosophy article you wish to place it on::

{{Philosophy topics}}

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Creador de Mundos, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Samyaza have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Karura Mau moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Karura Mau, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Alert edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Misleading edit summary and WP:DE edit

Your restoration on this edit used a misleading edit summary and misrepresented sources. The removal was well explained.

To repeat, one source you have used is Cambridge scholars, which is unreliable, while other source only debunks the claims you are adding.

Be careful with reading the sources. Orientls (talk) 19:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Mediación en un artículo edit

Hola, me veo obligado a pedirte tu intervención en un asunto, ya que que este usuario, Asqueladd, ha recuperado una edición antigua en el artículo de Elvira Roca Barea que ya había sido revertida por varios usuarios por buenas razones, pero ahora en la versión en inglés, esperando que ahí pase más desapercibida por los lectores y editores de habla hispana. Se trata de un cambio en el que reemplaza el hecho de que un manifiesto a favor de la libertad para hablar y escribir sobre historia fuera firmado por muchas personalidades de diferentes ámbitos e ideologías, para añadir la irrelevancia de que dicho manifiesto fue difundido por la Fundación Francisco Franco, dejando caer así la idea de que los firmantes, y por tanto la escritora, son afines, o al menos tolerantes, con el franquismo.

El usuario es perfectamente consciente de esto, pues viendo su historial en otros artículos sobre organizaciones y personas que tratan temas de este tipo, tiene tendencia a añadir prefijos hiperbólicos (como "ultra") a prácticamente todo lo que sea conservador o simplemente cuestione la narrativa instalada por el lado opuesto del debate, y lo justifica añadiendo las "fuentes" que le convienen, sin importar lo sesgadas o irrelevantes que sean, lo cual no deja más opción a estas alturas que pensar que actúa de mala fe. Añade todas las opiniones posibles de las personas y medios más furibundamente críticas con algo (en una suerte de falacia ad populum), por irracionales y viscerales que sean, y su justificación siempre es que son gente que sabe (falacia ad baculum, los famosos autoproclamados "expertos en extrema derecha", que por cierto, ha editado bastante el artículo del politólogo Villacañas y casualmente olvidó mencionar el conocido hecho de que trabajó de asesor para el partido Podemos, situado por la mayoría en la izquierda radical, no vaya a ser que alguien vea que no es una persona precisamente objetiva y se le caiga el pretexto), despreciando otras valoraciones, como la de Vargas Llosa, la cual consideró más irrelevante porque "escribe ficción".

En resumidas cuentas, este usuario utiliza la wikipedia desde hace años para difamar organizaciones, personas e ideas de la forma más sutil posible, añadiendo datos poco relevantes si son dañinos y omitiendo o relegando deliberadamente otros más importantes que no le interesan, camuflando sus intenciones en sus selectivas y a menudo cuestionables fuentes, retorciendo las normas hasta el límite para escudar sus poco éticas acciones. Por ilustrarlo de forma más concisa, es como si pusiera una irrelevante caricatura obscena en el artículo de una persona y te niega que sea difamatoria diciendo "No, solo es una obra de arte, y puedo ponerla porque salió un día en un periódico y su dibujante es catedrático de artes". Espero que se haga algo al respecto, porque este tipo de usuarios hacen que cada vez más gente tome la wikipedia como algo poco serio.--91.242.154.140 (talk) 23:22, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Iba a hacerlo antes de acudir a usted, pero lamentablemente son cuentas de usuarios no fijos que se encuentran abandonadas hace tiempo, así que no he podido.--91.242.154.140 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
