Here's a list of helpful hints for revising your Wiki articles.toc

To include a link using the visual editor

 * 1) Select the text you want to become a link
 * 2) Click the "Link" button in the toolbar.
 * 3) If the page you are linking to is within our Wiki, use the "Wiki Link" tab. If it is a link to another website, use the "External Link" tab.

 * Put double brackets around your text you want to become a link like this:
 * Put a space between your text, and the first closing bracket, and paste your link in after. You only need to do this if you are linking to another website (in other words, you're not linking to a page within the wiki).

If I have already put a "Citation Needed" tag in your article
Follow these steps:
 * 1) Click "Edit" on your page.
 * 2) Double-click on the "1/2" buttons in the text of your article.
 * 3) When a new window pops up, paste in your citation information.

Your citations should be formatted in proper bibliographical format, according to MLA standards. For instance, a page citation from //The Stranger// should look like this:


 * Camus, Albert. //The Stranger.// New York: Vintage Books. 1989. Pg. 57.

Every citation from a book should have at least that much information, in that order, with punctuation in the correct places, as modeled above. Rules for citing other formats (like journal articles, or films) can be found on the Purdue OWL guidelines on the Additional Help page.
