Welcome to a practice page! After each task, Publish changes... so you don't loose your work.
Task 1: Copy and pasting this page into your sandbox
[edit]Click "Edit" and copy and paste the contents of this page into your own sandbox. (Tip: ⌃ Ctrl + a to select all)
- To make a new sandbox page under your account, simply "create a new file" by writing /something after /sandbox in the URL (e.g.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Utl_jung/sandbox/mango)
Then, publish the page. This will give you a copy of this page which you can now freely edit.
Task 2: Fix a typo
[edit]Edit the typo in the following sentence: "Fixing tpyos is a simple but useful way to contribute to Wikipedia."
Task 3: Formatting
Make the above, bolded text reading "Task 3: Formatting" into a Heading and make sure it isn't bolded. [Note that Task 3 should then appear automatically in the table of contents section near the top of the page.]
Make this line of text a Sub-heading 1
Turn this line into regular paragraph text instead of this weird box thing-y
Task 4: Adding links
[edit]Adding internal link
[edit]Link Da 5 Bloods to the Wikipedia article for the movie. (Bonus marks for italicizing the link since movie titles are italicized, even when linked).
Adding external link
[edit]Link Spike Lee on IMBD to the external page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000490/
Editing link
[edit]The following link for Tracy Moore is meant to link the the Canadian journalist's article on Wikipedia, but right now it goes to a disambiguation page for that name. Edit the link so it goes straight to the correct page.
"To link or not to link, that is the question"
[edit]For the paragraph below, there are too many links—it is overlinked! Remove the ones that you think shouldn't be there.
There is a Wikipedia style manual for linking. The style manual for linking recommends adding red links for pages that don't yet exist.
Task 5: Using elements from other pages
[edit]Below this paragraph, copy over the table showing the "Awards and nominations" from Delroy Lindo. This is a bit of a complex table, so if you wanted to do the same table for another actor, it would be easier to duplicate and edit versus create from scratch. (Tip: when something doesn't work copy and pasting in Visual editing, using the Source editing should do the trick...)
Task 6: Add a citation
[edit]Add a manual citation to the paraphrased sentence below which was taken from the following article: https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-star/20131219/281827166586179
Rambhaben Jethalal was born in India and moved to South Africa in 1913 as a teenage bride.
Task 7: Infobox
[edit]In the space below, replicate the infobox person on the article for Nathaniel Dett, without copy and pasting it ;) Remember: an infobox is a template! To add a template, press "Insert" > "Template".
