Hey there, just wanted to let you know that United On Their Knees looks like a spam page.

Thanks, I have deleted it.--Qv1et (talk) 10:50, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

MediaWiki Basics

I am new to MediaWiki, so here I am collecting useful things I am learning as I start using it. This might develop into an article for MediaWiki newcomers at some point. If you have good resources or little tips that people should know about how to use MediaWiki, feel free to add them.

Talk Pages

This video (2:31) gives a short introduction to talk pages.

TLDW: Start a new thread on a talk/discussion page by clicking "Add topic" (top right). Give it a title (Subject). Reply to a post by putting your reply below it and using one more level of indentation than the post your are replying to. Indicate the level of indentation by putting the corresponding number of colon characters (:) in front of your reply. End each post with a signature by either clikcing the signature button (next to italics) or by manually writing --~~~~.

Linking

You can link to a specific section of a page by adding #Section_name at the end of the URL (i. e. # followed by the name of the section with spaced replaced with underscores). Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Linking_to_Wikipedia#Linking_to_sections

Templates

To find a list of all templates that are defined in the wiki, go to Special:AllPages and select the namespace "Template".

Creating Licenses

Licenses are relevant in the context of images. When you upload a file, you can select a license for it from a drop-down menu. To add licenses that will appear in this menu, you have to add them to the list on the MediaWiki:Licenses page. There can be multiple levels of nesting in the list to group together licenses. As an example, see the licenses on Wikipedia.

When you open the Special:Upload page and select a license you will see a link to the template for this license below the drop-down menu. When there is no license yet, the link will be red. You can click on the link to create the template. You can use the license templates on Wikipedia, the MediaWiki wiki or other MediaWiki sites as a reference.
