[Wikimediauk-l] Editing help
Piggybacking on the Wikipedia workshops stuff,... I've got an Australian university using Wikinews as a class assignment for final-year students. I could really, really do with an incredibly concise editing guide. They're not showing a lot of 'clue' when it comes to markup, filling in templates, and so. But, they're doing a reasonable job contributing despite that. Anyone point me at some documents I can get Prof. Blackall to tell them are 'required reading'? -- Brian McNeil. -- brian.mcn...@wikinewsie.org | Wikinews Accredited Reporter. http://en.wikinews.org | http://www.wikinewsie.org Facts don't cease to be facts, but news ceases to be news. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

Have a look at: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/BookshelfIn particular, the Welcome to Wikipedia booklet - it takes people gently through the basics of editing and has a handy quick reference guide. Obviously it's based on Wikipedia not Wikinews but shoul still be helpful!
