Long Page Names

the Index page shows "Kdenlive on other Desktops and Operating Systems" and it is currently linked to Kdenlive/Manual/KdenliveOnOtherPlatforms. In this case there will be enough to add the anchor <span id="Kdenlive on other Desktops and Operating Systems"> The general concern is that links should refer to Kdenlive/Manual/KdenliveOnOtherPlatforms#Kdenlive on other Desktops and Operating Systems

Special Tags

<code>6 feet in meters</code> will output <code class="output">1.8288 m</code>.

6 feet in meters will output 1.8288 m.

Section links need to be anchored like this:

<span id="Working_with_Languages"></span>

Close the translate tag before the span id and re-open afterwards
Don't forget to add an empty line after the ID

{{#UseLiquidThreads:1}}
{{:Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}

<s>this should strike through</s> ~~this should strike through~~

Avoid using text smilies as they cause problems for translation applications. Instead use {{Smiley}} Other smilies can be found on [Commons Wikimedia] and the file-name is sufficient to get the image included}}

{{Special:ContributionScores/10/7}} displays the contribution score tables on a page

For example of using citations, see Digikam/Lens_Distortion

This tag is used when quoting from another site or page. It uses a proportional italic font

“for images that contain substantial areas of constant color a linear 
histogram will often be dominated by a single bar. In this case a logarithmic
histogram will often be more useful.”

Warning

These are deprecated. Use {{Input} and {{Output}} templates instead

Using syntaxhighlight

{{Input|<syntaxhighlight lang="php" line>
# Initialise common code
$preIP = dirname( __FILE__ );
require_once( "$preIP/includes/WebStart.php" );
</syntaxhighlight>}}

will result in

# Initialise common code
$preIP = dirname( __FILE__ );
require_once( "$preIP/includes/WebStart.php" );

For plain code, use "lang="bash" "

Display category without linking to category

To link a category page within a page as a normal wiki link (without adding the page to the category), prefix the link name with a colon. For example: [[:Category:Not in this category|Display Label]] from Wikimedia Help

Enumerated Lists

Standard wiki markup results in

First item
1. First sub-item
2. Second sub-item.

To improve display, a new class has been introduced.

{{Input:1=<div class="manualtoc">

First item
1. First sub-item
2. Second sub-item</nowiki>

}}

which results in

First item
1. First sub-item
2. Second sub-item

Breaking down enumerated lists for translation

Lists like

# [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Enhancement/Denoiser|Denoiser]] # [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Enhancement/Nikon D90 Stairstepping fix|Nikon D90 Stairstepping fix]] # [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Enhancement/Sharpen|Sharpen]]

can, if more than two or three deep, cause problems for translators. Resolve this by adding translate tag pairs around each list item, viz:

<translate># [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Enhancement/Denoiser|Denoiser]]</translate> <translate># [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Enhancement/Nikon D90 Stairstepping fix|Nikon D90 Stairstepping fix]]</translate> <translate># [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Enhancement/Sharpen|Sharpen]]</translate>

Previous and Next

To make the links to the pages look less ugly you can provide extra options to the template:

{{Prevnext|Article/section/previous-subsection|Article/section/next|This points to the previous section text|This is the next section}}

This will be rendered as

Currently Being Edited

This page is currently being edited.
If this notice persists for an unreasonable time, please either notify irc.freenode.org #kde-www or report on Annew's Talk page

Note: Pages should not normally be marked for translation while they are being actively worked on

Under Construction

This is a new page, currently under construction!

Information

This is an Info box. It gives important additional information rendered in a box.

Remember

This is for things that definitely must not be forgotten

Remember

You can use parameter number 3 to set an individual box heading:

{{Remember|3=Don't Forget This!|1=You can use...}}

Image Issues

On some pages sections tend to run together. This is caused by long images placed besides short text sections. Solution: place < /translate><br style="clear: both;"/>< translate> after the troublesome section. This also works with docbook. See Amarok/Manual/AmarokWindow/PlaylistPane ==Reporting== NB: <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}} returns the page name without prefix. For this page it returns "Namespace". {{FULLPAGENAME}} returns both namespace and pagename; for this page, that is "Help:Namespace".
