Learning the MediaWiki syntax
The MediaWiki syntax is easy to learn. However, it is unique and can be confusing at first even for editors familiar with markdown and HTML.
To get started:
Write in style
Handle rich media content
Create dynamic content based on semantic data
Cite sources
Create templates to reduce content duplication
Working with semantic data
- Items and properties — the data model, creating and editing entities, statements, merging and deleting
- Importing from external authorities — fetch authors, sources and collectives from public services
- Querying with SPARQL — analyse the data with the query service
House rules
API and bulk editing
- API and bulk editing — scripting and batch tools
