sona pona:Guide: Difference between revisions

 

==What do I do here?==

* even just fix typos

* sources

 

==Technical==

===Moderation===

Your first edit won't appear immediately and will instead be sent to the moderators for approval. This is to prevent trolls from making new accounts purely to grief the wiki.<ref group="lower-alpha">And if they insist, they'll have to make at least one useful edit per account, which is a net win for us!</ref>

 

==Policy==

===Be bold===

{{Hatnote|See also [[w:Wikipedia:Be bold|the Wikipedia policy]].}}

If you have an idea for an edit or page, but you're not sure whether others will like it, just do it! Everyone can easily bring a page back to a previous version, so it's impossible to permanently "ruin" anything. [[mw:Help:Patrolling|Patrolling]] ensures that every edit will be inspected by at least one other person.

 

===Be messy===

{{Hatnote|See also [https://mspaintadventures.fandom.com/wiki/MSPA_Wiki:Sloppy_is_fine the MS Paint Adventures Wiki policy].}}

An unfinished or messy page is infinitely better than no page at all. Even if you never come back to it, someone else surely will.<ref group="lower-alpha">Heck, this very guide started as barely more than an outline!</ref> Slap a <code><nowiki>{{Needs work}}</nowiki></code> template on top and let others work their magic.

 

* other materials by {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}, e.g. [https://jan-ne.github.io/tp/tpize the tokiponization guidelines]

* {{tp|[[lipu Linku]]}}

 

When using a proficient speaker's thoughts as a source, remember to note whether they reflect consensus or are rather their personal {{tp|[[nasin]]}}. This includes what you may consider "official" material:

<blockquote>

This is the way I use Toki Pona.

===Language===

Mark the language of non-English text with [[Template:lang]].

{{Indent|This lets technologies like screen readers treat the text according to its language (see [[ISO 639-3]]).}}

{{Indent|<code><nowiki>{{lang|fr|''je parle bien''}}</nowiki></code> outputs {{lang|fr|''je parle bien''}}. Hover to see the language name.}}

==={{tp|sitelen pona}}===

Display {{tp|[[sitelen Lasina]]}} or [[UCSUR]] codepoints as {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} with [[Template:sp]].

{{Indent|<code><nowiki>{{sp|mu}}</nowiki></code> outputs {{sp|mu}}. Hover or press to see the {{tp|sitelen Lasina}} input.}}

 

===Indentation===

Indent with [[Template:Indent]].

{{Indent|Using the <code>:</code> (description detail) syntax without a preceding <code>;</code> (description term) produces invalid HTML, which is [[w:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility#Indentation|not accessible]].}}
