			The '''birth_date''' and '''death_date''' fields are used for structured data. Use an ISO-style date such as <code>2000-05-21</code> only when the date is reliably known. Do not create an exact date when sources give only an approximate year.

			Use '''language''' when the website primarily uses one language. Use '''languages''' instead when the website is available in multiple languages.

			The '''url''' field should contain the full official website address, including <code>https://</code>.

			The '''launched''' field should contain the public launch year or date when reliably known.

			The '''current_status''' field may be used for a simple status such as <code>Active</code> or <code>Inactive</code> when supported by reliable information.

			The '''registration''' field should briefly explain whether registration is required, optional, or unavailable when that information is relevant.

			The '''content_license''' field may be used when the website publishes content under a clearly stated license.

			Leave fields empty when reliable information is not available. Do not guess ownership, launch dates, founders, licensing, or other information.

New page

WikiPartner is built collaboratively. Editors can improve existing articles by correcting facts, adding useful information, improving wording, adding sources, and fixing formatting.

All edits should follow WikiPartner's [[WikiPartner:Editorial policy|editorial policy]], [[WikiPartner:Inclusion guidelines|inclusion guidelines]], and [[WikiPartner:Source guidelines|source guidelines]].

== Before you edit ==

Before making a change, make sure the information is accurate and supported by a reliable source when a source is needed.

Write in a neutral and factual way. Avoid advertising language, personal opinions, unsupported claims, and unnecessary promotion.

Do not remove well-sourced information simply because it is negative or unfavorable. If information is inaccurate, outdated, or poorly sourced, correct it using better evidence.

== How to edit a page ==

To edit an article, select '''Edit this article''' from the Tools section.

Make your changes in the editor, review them carefully, and use the preview option when available before saving.

When saving an edit, add a short edit summary explaining what you changed.

For example:

<pre>
Added source for founding date
</pre>

or:

<pre>
Corrected company headquarters
</pre>

== Basic formatting ==

WikiPartner uses MediaWiki wikitext.

=== Headings ===

Use:

<pre>
== Main section ==

=== Subsection ===
</pre>

Do not manually create a heading for the article title. WikiPartner displays the page title automatically.

=== Bold and italic text ===

Bold:

<pre>
'''Bold text'''
</pre>

Italic:

<pre>
''Italic text''
</pre>

Use bold and italic formatting only when it improves readability.

== Internal links ==

Link to another WikiPartner article using double square brackets:

<pre>
[[Example Article]]
</pre>

To display different text:

<pre>
[[Example Article|display text]]
</pre>

For example:

<pre>
[[Digital marketing|digital marketing industry]]
</pre>

Existing WikiPartner pages appear as normal internal links. Links to WikiPartner pages that have not yet been created may appear differently.

== External links ==

External websites can be linked using:

<pre>
[https://example.com Example website]
</pre>

External links should normally be used as sources or when they provide useful supporting information. Avoid adding promotional or unnecessary external links.

== Adding sources ==

Important facts should be supported by reliable sources.

Add a reference directly after the statement it supports:

<pre>
The company was founded in 2020.<ref>Source information or source URL</ref>
</pre>

At the bottom of the article, include:

<pre>
== References ==

<references />
</pre>

This displays the references used throughout the article.

Whenever possible, use independent and reliable sources rather than relying only on information published by the subject itself.

For more information, see [[WikiPartner:Source guidelines|Source guidelines]].

== Using infoboxes ==

Some WikiPartner articles use an infobox near the top of the page.

For a person article, use the appropriate person infobox:

<pre>
{{Infobox person
| name =
| image =
| caption =
| birth_name =
| born =
| nationality =
| occupation =
| years_active =
| known_for =
| organization =
| title =
| website =
}}
</pre>

For a company article:

<pre>
{{Infobox company
| name =
| logo =
| type =
| industry =
| founded =
| founder =
| headquarters =
| area_served =
| key_people =
| products =
| services =
| website =
}}
</pre>

Leave a field empty if reliable information is not available. Do not guess information simply to complete an infobox.

== Writing style ==

Write clearly and directly.

Articles should describe the subject rather than promote it. Avoid phrases such as "leading company", "world-class", "best", "revolutionary", or similar claims unless the wording itself is directly relevant and properly attributed to a reliable source.

Prefer factual statements that readers can verify.

== Creating links to missing articles ==

You may link to a relevant subject even when its WikiPartner article does not exist yet.

For example:

<pre>
[[Example Technologies]]
</pre>

A missing-page link helps identify subjects that may need their own article later. Creating a link does not automatically mean that the subject qualifies for an article.

See [[WikiPartner:Inclusion guidelines|Inclusion guidelines]] before creating a new article.

== Images and files ==

Files can be uploaded through [[Special:Upload|Upload file]].

Only upload files that WikiPartner is legally allowed to host. Provide accurate source, author, copyright, and licensing information when uploading a file.

To place an uploaded image in an article:

<pre>
[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Example caption]]
</pre>

== Corrections and problems ==

If you find inaccurate information and can correct it directly, edit the article and provide an appropriate source.

For problems that require editorial attention, use [[WikiPartner:Corrections and complaints|Report an issue]].

== Need more help? ==

See [[Help:Contents|Help]] for additional guidance.
