Help:Reading
From Wikisource
Navigating a wiki or finding a text may be a daunting process for someone new to wikis. There are several basic methods to do so:
- Search: If you know the title or author you're looking for, type it into the search bar at left and click 'Search'. If the page tells you that there is no page with that title, scroll down to see Wikisource's close matches. For advanced search help, see Help:Search on the Meta-Wiki.
- Link: You can find a work by clicking a link to it. Such links should be present on the author's page or other works in the same series.
- Categories: Find an author or work by finding the appropriate category (see Category:Categories).
- Random: Go to a random page by clicking on random page in the navigation menu.
Tracking changes or texts is simple on Wikisource. The following tools are available to do so:
- Recent changes to all articles can be listed on the Recent changes page (in the navigation menu). For advanced help on the recent changes list, see Help:Recent changes on the Meta-Wiki.
- Watchlist pages by clicking the watch tab above most pages. This feature requires a registered account.
