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 intuitive with the various buttons to format the text.

VisualEditor User Guide

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.

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...

Do not use Headings 1 because this heading is already used for the page title and we can have only one heading1 per page.

Examples:

== Vocabulary==

=== The farm animals ===

=== Pets ===

== Example of use ==

== Expressions using animal names ==

== Videos ==

internal links
