Write a lesson: Why? | How? | FAQ |
Here are some tips to help you create a language learning lesson:
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.
Wiki Code
If you have a little more experience, we advise you to directly use the Wiki code because you have more formatting options.
Useful Wiki Codes
Here are some useful markups :
The links
Internal links
To link to a page which URL is wiki/Help inside the Polyglot club wiki, use the following code:
[[Help|different text]]
External links
To link to a page outside Polyglot club wiki.
[https://mediawiki.org MediaWiki]
Images
Example:
[[File:My_pic.png|thumb|none]]
Videos
To add a Youtube video, simply circle the video ID like this:
<youtube>[ID code]</youtube>
The video [ID code] can be found inside the URL of a Youtube video.
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 following code:
<youtube> S4ypgbP2Jn4 </youtube>
the video appears as below:
Audio MP3 files
When writing a lesson to learn a language, it is cool to be able to add, next to a word, a small MP3 player to hear the pronunciation of that word.
Better an example than a long explanation:
Alligator
To know how to do this, read THIS PAGE.
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
Headings
To organize your lesson, and for Search engine optimization, it is good to use different levels of headings: h2, h3...
Use Heading2 (h2) and within each Heading2, you can use Headings3 (h3) and so on: Heading4, Heading5 etc...
Do not use Heading1 because this heading is already used for the page title and we can have only one Heading1 per page.
Code
For h2, use the following code :
==Vocabulary==
For h3, use the following code:
===The farm animals===
Page Structures Example
Here is an example of page structure:
