User talk:Nick Adams

Hello Nick,

Thank you for all your recent edits and new pages. As a moderator I check the Recent changes and so noticed you were having trouble with adding references/footnotes. Hopefully you will find these tips useful:

• CitationSandbox - explains how to use the <ref> tags and is a page where you can test references out
• Using the 'Preview' button before saving a page lets you check your edit has worked as expected

Hi Sarah

where can I find the: *CitationSandbox

I'm assuming from your edits that you have worked it out, but if you still want to practice anything you can either use the CitationSandbox here or the General Sandbox here. Don't worry that those pages have text already, you can edit and save them as much as you want and we can restore them again afterwards. Sarah 06:50, 25 March 2010 (PDT)

Sarah: How do you construct categories at more than one level ? For instance within Military is the sub class Medals How would you create this?

On the Army of India Medal page you have created, click on the red link at the bottom of the page for the Medal category (red link meaning the category does not exist yet). This starts the process of creating this new category. On the editing page, add [[Category:Military]] and save the page. This creates the new Medal category and places that new category inside the military category. Nothing else needed.

Just to explain some changes made to the Macao Expedition page, for your reference. We used to add the year in the title but are in the process of removing these due to them affecting Google searches, hence the 1809 being removed. Sy also changed the title to the contemporary spelling of Macao, which we tend to do for all locations so that they fit what people will come across in their research. Sarah 14:57, 25 March 2010 (PDT)
