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 editorial policy, inclusion guidelines, and 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 If information is inaccurate, outdated, or poorly sourced, correct it using better evidence.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:
Added source for founding date
or:
Corrected company headquarters
Basic formatting
WikiPartner uses MediaWiki wikitext.
Headings
Use:
== Main section == === Subsection ===
Do not manually create a heading for the article title. WikiPartner displays the page title automatically.
Bold and italic text
Bold:
'''Bold text'''
Italic:
''Italic text''
Use bold and italic formatting only when it improves readability.
Internal links
Link to another WikiPartner article using double square brackets:
[[Example Article]]
To display different text:
[[Example Article|display text]]
For example:
[[Digital marketing|digital marketing industry]]
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:
[https://example.com Example website]
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:
The company was founded in 2020.<ref>Source information or source URL</ref>
At the bottom of the article, include:
== References == <references />
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 Source guidelines.
Using infoboxes
Some WikiPartner articles use an infobox near the top of the page. An infobox provides a short summary of important facts about the subject.
Only include information that is supported by reliable sources. Leave a field empty or remove it when reliable information is not available. Do not guess information simply to complete an infobox.
Person
Use Infobox person for an individual person.
{{Infobox person
| name =
| image =
| caption =
| birth_name =
| born =
| nationality =
| occupation =
| years_active =
| known_for =
| organization =
| title =
| website =
}}
Common fields include the person's name, image, birth information, nationality, occupation, notable work, organizational role, and official website.
Company
Use Infobox company for a commercial company or business.
{{Infobox company
| name =
| logo =
| type =
| industry =
| founded =
| founder =
| headquarters =
| area_served =
| key_people =
| products =
| services =
| website =
}}
Use factual descriptions for fields such as industry, headquarters, products, and services. Avoid promotional descriptions or unsupported claims.
Organization
Use Infobox organization for organizations, foundations, associations, institutions, projects, and other organized entities that are not best described as commercial companies.
{{Infobox organization
| name =
| logo =
| logo_alt =
| caption =
| type =
| founded =
| founder =
| headquarters =
| area_served =
| key_people =
| purpose =
| products =
| services =
| language =
| parent_organization =
| subsidiaries =
| website =
}}
The type field should briefly describe the organization, such as an online encyclopedia, nonprofit organization, professional association, research organization, or other appropriate type.
The purpose field should describe the main purpose of the organization in neutral language.
The headquarters field should contain the location associated with the organization's main headquarters when reliably known.
The area_served field may be used for a geographic area such as Worldwide, Pakistan, Europe, or another supported region.
The website field should contain the full official website URL, including https://.
Do not add founders, key people, parent organizations, subsidiaries, or other relationships unless reliable sources support them.
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:
[[Example Technologies]]
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 Inclusion guidelines before creating a new article.
Images and files
Files can be uploaded through 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:
[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Example caption]]
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 Report an issue.
