All of the Options

edit

Paragraph 

edit

This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add R <- code snippets, and change idioma keyboards.

edit

The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite

edit

The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations.[1] You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.[1]

Ω 

edit

The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.

Responding on a Talk page

edit

If someone leaves a reply or tags you with a question, you should respond.

Open up the page just as you would open up an article to edit. Underneath the comment you're responding to, type a colon ( : ). Each : will indent your response deeper into the conversation. So if you respond to a response, use two colons, etc.

It is crucial that you sign your messages with four tildes ( ~~~~ ) to automatically mark it with your username and a timestamp.
