before putting them on the real page. Mistakes are okay

here because this is where we learn.

Click Sandbox

You will test any sections of your article to add to the real Wikipedia page in the edit box here.

DON’T EVER DELETE THIS. It’s important code that designates this page as a Sandbox, a testing area, and not a real Wikipedia article.

FYI Always fill out your edit summary, even in your Sandbox.

You don’t need to type anything in right now.

All done?It’s time to figure out what needs to be changed on your Wikipedia page.

1. Print out the real Wikipedia page for your novel, one for each group member.2. Compare it to your article on Drive. On the Drive screen, highlight anything that you wrote (not that any other team member wrote) that needs to be added to the real article.3. On the paper copy of the Wikipedia page, make a note to yourself in pen or pencil where you will add your highlighted info.4. On the paper copy, you may also make additional edits for NPOV, RWP, and NOR. 5. Copy and paste the highlighted sections that you wrote into your Sandbox by clicking Sandbox then Edit.6. Delete all of the indents you used in your writing. To start a new paragraph just press enter twice. All text needs to be flush with the left side of the edit box.

Next slide

Once you have pasted, check out the formatting palette. Click Advanced.

It should look like this:

For each section of your Wikipedia article that you have pasted information for, create a Level 2 heading. The wikitext for a Level 2 heading will look like this:= = Plot = =

Here is the order of your sections (you won’t have everything, but they do need to be in this order:

• Plot• Major themes• Background• Reception• Awards and nominations• Adaptations

See example on the next slide . . .

Your Sandbox should look something like this:

To start a new paragraph in wikitext, just skip down a line. Don’t indent or the code won’t display your text correctly.

Fill in your edit summary box with something like Added info to put on novel page, click Show Preview, and then Save Page if it looks good.

Done? Double check the work of your teammates or stand up to help others in our class.
