| Sarkarverse currently has {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles. Before creating an article, make sure there is not already an article on the same topic, perhaps under a slightly different name (see Sarkarverse's [[SV:SC|article titling policy]]). If an article on your topic already exists, but you think people might look for it under some different name or spelling, learn how to [[Sarkarverse:Redirect|create ''redirects'' to alternative titles]]. Adding needed redirects is a good way to help Sarkarverse.
| |
|
| |
| ==Gather references==
| |
| Gather sources for the information you will be writing about. To be worthy of inclusion in Sarkarverse, subjects must be sufficiently [[SV:N|notable]], and that notability must be [[SV:V|verifiable]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Write your article==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ==Map your article==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ==Categorize your article==
| |
| Every article should be in one or more Sarkarverse categories. Often the easiest way to find relevant categories is to think of a similar topic that has an article and visit it to see the categories it is placed in. Otherwise, you may go to [[:Category:Articles]] and click on any relevant subcategories, then keep following relevant subcategory links as far as you can. Follow all relevant subcategory chains, and add a category declaration, written <nowiki>[[Category:your category]]</nowiki>, at the bottom of your article for each relevant category that has no relevant subcategories of its own.
| |
|
| |
| ==Proofread your aritcle==
| |
| After you have entered your article, click Show preview to check for errors, then click Save page.
| |
|
| |
| ==Publish your article==
| |
|
| |
| ==And then what?==
| |
| Now that you have created the page, there are still several things you can do.
| |
|
| |
| ==Go on making improvements to your article==
| |
| [[WP:FINISH|Sarkarverse is not finished]]. Generally, an article is nowhere near being completed the moment it is created. There is a long way to go. In fact, it may take you several edits just to get it started.
| |
|
| |
| If you have so much interest in the article you just created, you may learn more about it in the future, and accordingly have more to add. This may be later today, tomorrow, or several months from now. Any time – go ahead.
| |
|
| |
| ===Improve formatting===
| |
| To format your article correctly (and expand it, and possibly even make it [[Sarkarverse:Featured articles|featured]]), see
| |
|
| |
| *[[Sarkarverse:Tutorial]] to learn how to format your article
| |
| *[[Sarkarverse:Writing better articles]]
| |
| *[[Sarkarverse:The perfect article]]
| |
| *[[Sarkarverse:Lead section]]
| |
|
| |
| Others can freely contribute to the article when it has been saved. The creator does not have special rights to control the later content. See [[Sarkarverse:Ownership of articles]].
| |
|
| |
| Also, before you get frustrated or offended about the way others modify or remove your contributions, see [[Sarkarverse:Don't be ashamed]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Avoid orphans===
| |
| An [[WP:Orphan|orphaned article]] is an article that has few or no other articles linking to it. The main problem with an orphan is that it'll be unknown to others, and may get fewer readers if it is not de-orphaned.
| |
|
| |
| Most new articles are orphans from the moment they are created, but you can work to change that. This will involve editing one or more ''other'' articles. Try searching Sarkarverse for other pages referring to the subject of your article, then turn those references into links by adding double brackets to either side: <nowiki>"[[" and "]]"</nowiki>. If another article has a word or phrase that has the same meaning as your new article, but not expressed in the same words as the title, you can link that word or phrase as follows: "<nowiki>[[title of your new article|word or phrase found in other article]]</nowiki>." Or in certain cases, you could create that word or phrase as a redirect to your new article.
| |
|
| |
| One of the first things you want to do after creating a new article is to provide links to it so it will not be an orphan. You can do that right away, or if you find that exhausting, you can wait a while, provided that you keep the task in mind.
