Documents

From Salish Sea Wiki


The document category is used for all pages that provide information about published reports and articles either uploaded here or published. Documents may be either uploaded to the wiki when public domain (on-wiki) or located on another server or physical location as identified by a link when copyrighted or not released for posting by the author (off-wiki).

Please follow our social contract around posting documents, and use good categories and interlinking to make your document easy to find.

Document Page Format

Document pages contain the following sections

  • Citation - A copyable citation of the document
  • Links - bulleted list of links to either a wiki-based file, or a web-based copy or citation
  • Abstract - A summary provided by the author (closed to editing)
  • Analysis - Analysis of the implications of the document by the wiki community

Creating a document page

There are two ways to create a document page, depending on whether the document is a uploaded file (i.e. on-wiki), or whether you are referecing a document that is off-wiki. To load a document onto the wiki:

  1. Copy the template below.
  2. Click on the Upload File link.
  3. Name the file using a standard citation format such as "Author et al 20##".
  4. Paste the template into the summary box, and use the resulting wiki page (which will be named File:Author_et_al_20##) as you document page.
  5. Assign categories that makes sense for your document. Is it associated with a particular site or place or topic?
  6. Create a redirect page by 1) typing your new title, Author et al 20## into the search box, 2) select the 'create page' link, 3) type #REDIRECT[[File:Author et al 20##]] into the blank page, and save. This creates a page that will direct a [[Author et al 20##]] link to your uploaded file.

Off-wiki - Use a regular document wiki page named Author et al 20## to describe the document, using the template below and including a link to an appropriate source for the document (which could include a google scholor search for the document title.)

For each document page adapt the following template depending if your document is on- or off-wiki

{{document}}
'''Citation'''
==Links to Document==
*'''[[Link]]''' - text
==Abstract (Closed to Editing)==
Abstract written by author
==Analysis==
Description of importance of document in relation to other efforts including links to any other documents found in this wiki
