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]]

Onomatopoeias.png

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:

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:

  1. item 1
  2. 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:

(image)

Vocabulary for animals in English (title of the page in bold)

==Vocabulary==(h2)

===The farm animals===(h3)

===Pets=== (h3)

==Expressions== (h2)

==Videos== (h2)
