Editing Wikipedia articles using a full-fledged text editor is often more convenient than a web browser's standard text area. Text editors provide facilities that are very useful for writing and editing articles (especially long articles), such as spell checking, search and replace, macros, syntax highlighting, and alphabetic sorting.
WikiFundi needs a small portable local server to work; for example, a Raspberry Pi. It can be used by an individual, but was designed to help groups and communities to learn how to edit Wikipedia, and work on articles collaboratively. It is being used for education programs within schools such as the WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique.
When editing in the visual mode, write the section name and use the "Paragraph" button in the toolbar to select the heading or sub-heading style you want to apply to it. When editing in "Edit source" mode, place = signs around the heading's text, for example: ==Main heading== ===Sub-heading=== ==New main heading== See Help:Section for more details.
Maintenance tags are routinely added to articles that have one or more deficiencies. These can include cleanup requirements, disputes, and references.Maintenance tags are important because they categorise articles according to the deficiencies that need attention, which allows interested editors and maintenance WikiProjects such as the League of Copyeditors to find and fix them.
If there is an edit conflict, the Wikipedia screen has four parts: The warning at the top (Figure 1-8). A text box with the text for the current version of the page. It's Wikipedia saying "Here's what you can edit—the current version," plus all the other editing stuff (edit summary box, buttons, wiki markup symbols, and so on.)
Wikipedia gets own server, running English Wikipedia and after a bit meta, with rewritten PHP software. Runs both the database and the web server on one machine. One of Bomis's servers continues to host some of the other languages on UseModWiki, but most of the active ones are gradually moved over to the other server during this period.
