Hi all,
I'm fond of this cheatsheet for wiki mark-up, we use it in Ukrainian a lot https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cheatsheet-en.pdf
Is there anything similar in idea but focused on visual editing? Maybe someone has designed such already. Some leaflet that can be printed and distributed widely.
Thanks for help,
Hi Vira,
The only file I can find (I asked, and searched outreachwiki and commons), is this (slightly outdated, Aug 2015) page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Help_Sheet_-_Editing_Wikip... Is that the kind of thing that you are wanting? Or is there a specific part of the visual editor interface, that you want magnified-and-annotated?
The canonical help guide,[1] is the long and detailed: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide It's probably best to fully-translate that, and then discuss how to most clearly explain the major points, in a single printable page. The specifics might change depending upon your target-audience. (e.g. young students vs professional librarians. etc)
HTH, Quiddity
[1] It looks like more than half of the screenshots in the Uk version have been auto-captured, though I'm not familiar with how up-to-date those are. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/uk Getting the rest, and making any updates, is currently not easy, because of problems with the code produced via https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Automatic_cross-language_screenshots - I think that is best-explained in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132574 ("Port language screenshots for VisualEditor from Ruby to JavaScript"). Just FYI. :)
