Hi michael, this has to be done manually. In general (at least on the projects where I am active) this only is done for the topic of the article, and in some cases the topic of the section. (for Wikipedia, Wikibooks uses different guidelines)
You can bold a word or group of words by placing them between tripple (single) quotation marks, such as '''bold''' . MediaWiki will recognize that, and show the words as bold. You can find the most basic layout summarized in the so-called cheat sheet: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/cheatsheet . I hope this helps, otherwise, just ask further :) Best regards, Lodewijk 2008/5/11, michael cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > Not sure if this is the correct place to ask. > > In Wikipedia articles, a small number of words are bolded in the body of the > article text, I'm interested to know the basis for selecting these words and > whether it is carried out automatically or by the author.
