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

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. Is there some ontology used?

Thanks,
