Templates for new pages

For creating new pages, you can easily pull in a template by typing {{subst:default}} into the editing window of a new page, then saving it, and re-opening it to continue editing. Other templates have been created for specific language pages, these include:

• English: {{subst:english}} or {{english}} . Template:English

• French: {{subst:french}} or {{french}} . Template:French

• Default (can be used to make new template pages for other languages): {{subst:default}} or {{Default}} Template:Default

References and citing sources

Please use MLA style whenever possible. For reference, here is how to site a website in MLA style:

Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available). Medium of publication. Date of access.

You can include the URL to the site either in front of the citation (and after the opening reference tag), or embed it within the title of the site.

Short-cuts

There are several frequently-used references, which can be copy-and-pasted from here into the page you are editing. Be sure to change the URL where indicated, or the article title. Please note that in the following examples, the page titles will be italicized, rather than in quotes, once you copy the example exactly and paste it into the body of the page.
