How to create a lesson to learn languages on the Polyglot Club Wiki?
The Wiki page editing is done thanks to the MediaWiki Engine, the software used by the famous Wikipedia.
What editor choose?
You have two options:
Visual Editor
If you are new at Wiki page editing, we recommend using the visual editor. It is an editor WYSIWYG who is proposed by default.
Creating pages is so intuitive with the various buttons to format the text.
Wiki Code
If you have a little more experience in editing Wiki, we advise you to directly use the Wiki code because you have more formatting options.
Useful Wiki Codes
Here are some useful markups :
The Headers
The links
internal links
Example: [[Main Page|different text]]
external links
Example: [https://mediawiki.org MediaWiki]
Images
Videos
To add a Youtube video, simply circle the video code like this: <youtube>[VIDEO CODE]</youtube>
The video code found inside the URL of a video on Youtube
Example:
if the URL is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ypgbP2Jn4&app=desktop
The code to copy is S4ypgbP2Jn4 (between v = and &)
After inserting the code <youtube> S4ypgbP2Jn4 </youtube> ,
the video appears as below:
Lists
Bullet lists
*item 1
*item 2
The result is as followed:
- item 1
- item 2
Numbered List
:#item 1
:#item 2
The result is as followed:
- item 1
- item 2
Page Structure
For your lesson more readable, we recommend the following structure
Image
Page Title
It's another formulation of the page title.
For example, if the title of the page is /French/Vocabulary/Animals, you can have a title like : French Vocabulary for Animals.
NB: The page title should not be a HEADING1 format. For Search Engine Optimization reasons, it is advisable to use only one H1 tag per page.
An H1 tag is already automatically added by Mediawiki.
Headings
To organize your lesson, and for SEO, it is good to use different levels of headings.
Use Headings2 and withing each Headings2, you can use Headings3 and so on: Headings4, Headings5 etc ...
Examples
== Vocabulary==
=== The farm animals ===
=== Pets ===
== Example of use ==
== Expressions using animal names ==
== Videos ==
