==Description==
The international research programme of the Inscriptions grecques et latines de la Syrie (IGLS) aims to publish the corpus of Greek and Latin inscriptions of ancient Syria, i.e., of the modern Near East, within the framework of the present-day territories of the Syrian Arab Republic, the Lebanese Republic and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Founded in 1905 and currently placed under the responsibility of the research unit [https://www.hisoma.mom.fr Hisoma] (Histoire et sources des mondes antiques, Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Lyon, France), it is based both on the archives kept at the [https://www.mom.fr Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée], a research federation hosted by [https://www.univ-lyon2.fr Université Lumière Lyon 2], and on field missions carried out in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, in close collaboration with the directorates of antiquities of these three countries. The IGLS volumes have been published since 1929 in Beirut by the Institut français du Proche-Orient ([https://www.ifporient.org Ifpo]) and its predecessors. The entire series is available online on the open access portal [https://www.persee.fr Persée]. Since 2017, the IGLS team has also been working on editing a corpus that complies with the standards of the Text Encoding Initiative and the EpiDoc model, thanks to the collaboration between Hisoma, the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée and the [https://www.unicaen.fr/recherche/mrsh/document_numerique/projets/metopes Métopes] project (Méthodes et outils pour l’édition structurée, Pôle Document numérique, Maison de la recherche en sciences humaines de Caen). The volume devoted to the city of Beirut in Lebanon (IGLS 8.1) will be the first published in this way.

Digiclass:Wiki editing

2022-03-04T11:05:39Z

JulienAliquot: /* How do I create a new page? */

=Editing the Digitalclassicist wiki=

The Digitalclassicist wiki runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki], which uses a Wikipedia-style markup system apply links, add tables, insert images, and so forth. MediaWiki has a good guide to the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting standard conventions for formatting] pages. An excellent way to learn how to edit is to find a page that looks interesting, click edit, and study the formatting.

==Frequently asked questions==

===How do I create a new page?===

First use the search box on the front page to search for the exact text (note capitalisation) you would like for the title of the page. When the page is not found, the Wiki will offer you a link to create a new page by this title. (This method neatly preempts any attempt to create a duplicate page.) Not that while it is possible to move or rename a page once it is created, it is much better to get the title right the first time.

===There are inconsistencies from one type of page to another. Which one do I follow?===

Because the wiki has been put together by many people across the world, over a stretch of years, inconsistency is inevitable. Much commonsense advice is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia provided by Wikipedia]. Feel free to bring some regularity to inconsistent pages, keeping in mind that the best format is the one that best serves scholars and students of classical antiquity.

A typical project page in this wiki may have a format along the lines of:

==Available==
* URL
==Author/Editor==
* NAME
==Description==
''E.G.''
Taken from the project website (Accessed 2016-01-14):
<nowiki><blockquote>copied or exerpted text</blockquote></nowiki>
''OR REVIEW IN EDITOR'S OWN WORDS''
<nowiki>[[category:projects]]</nowiki>
''ONE OR MORE OTHER CATEGORIES''

===How do I add a page to the list of projects or tools?===

At the bottom of the page please add this text: '''<nowiki>[[category:tools]]</nowiki>''' (''vel sim.'').

===How do I add links?===

MediaWiki has a [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links full explanation of link nomenclature]. This wiki tends to use mostly the following types of links (note the subtle but important differences in punctuation):
* external pages, of the form '''<nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki>''' (editing tool shortcut: click the picture of the globe)
* other wiki pages, of the form '''<nowiki>[[Link title]]</nowiki>''' (or, if necessary, but at the cost of some clarity <nowiki>[[Link title|alternate text]]</nowiki> ) (editing tool shortcut: click the Ab)
* wiki categories, of the form '''<nowiki>[[:category:example|alternate text]]</nowiki>''' (no shortcut for this one; and make sure the first colon is included; without it the page is simply assigned to that category and no link will be supplied)

===Can I add footnotes?===

Unfortunately not at the moment. The current version of the wiki software does not support the <nowiki><ref>note text</ref></nowiki> markup needed for footnotes.

===How do I include HTML or wiki markup in the text of an article?===

If you write "<code><nowiki>hello</nowiki></code>" in the source code of a wiki article, the HTML tag "<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>" will be interpreted as markup for "italics" and won't show up (instead, the word "hello" will show up, in italics.

Likewise, if you write "<code><nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki></code>", a link will be visualized (not the brackets). But what if you want the code (including brackets etc.) to be visualized?

You have to wrap the code to be visualized with tag <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code>. A fast way to do this is highlighting the code and hitting the  nowiki button in the formatting toolbar above.

Thus, the exmaples above should be encoded as follows:
* <code><nowiki><nowiki>hello</nowiki></nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki><nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki></nowiki></code>

===How do I find out which pages need my help?===

Come along to one of the wiki editing sprints, which are held in the [[DigiClass IRC Channel]] once a month, and get ideas from other volunteers. See below for details on the sprints.

==Tips==

* It is better to have information in an inconsistent style and format than no information at all.
* If you see a way to bring some consistency to entries you visit, do so.
* Avoid words and phrases that depend upon the time when you are writing, e.g., ''currently, at this time, now, so far''. Rather, if a time needs to be signaled, use precise dates, e.g., ''as of 2012, since May 2008''.
* Don't forget to add [[special:categories|categories]] to the web pages, as far as possible adopting the terms already in use.
* Try to add a main link for information or content of the project at the top of the article, with the heading '''Available'''. It is convenient to include the link as visible text (i.e. with no square brackets) at the top of the document so the (often meaningful) domain etc. is visible.
* Be selective about the links you add, focusing on those that will not be subject to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot link rot].
* Make contributing to the Digitalclassicist wiki part of your routine. Why stop at sending an email or tweet about a new project or tool? The best way to perpetually announce that new discovery is by making it part of this wiki.
* In a sprint you can let people know you're working on a page so no one else touches it in the meantime, but it's always a good idea to save often, since if there's a save conflict you can lose work. Don't worry about saving an incomplete page—so long as you plan to finish it later.

=Wiki editing sprints=

== What, when, where? ==

On the first Tuesday of every month (but on the second Tuesday of January), (usually) at 16h00 UK time, interested members of the Digital Classicist community (at large) get together for an hour or two to work on improving the content of the Digital Classicist wiki.

== How do I join? ==

If you'd like to join us, please:

* join the [[DigiClass IRC Channel]] at any time between 16h–18h UK time (GMT/BST) today (it's fine to pop in and out for less than the full two hours)

* if you don't already have one, get in touch with any of the DigiClass Wiki [[Members#Administrators|Administrators]] in advance to request an editing account on the wiki.

Please do extend this invitation to any colleagues, students or other collaborators who may be interested.

== I'm in a sprint. What do I do? ==

Most sprints have a theme, so people are invited for a particular session that is relevant to them or their project. If this month's theme doesn't interest you, though, you are welcome to come anyway and work on something else. The sprint is a time to discuss pages, ask questions, see what other people are up to, and so forth.

In addition to general editing and enhancement of project and tool pages, some of the organizing principles in a typical sprint include:

* see if '''random''' pages we find need work (click on the [[Special:Random|Random page]] on the menu on the left of any wiki page);
* look at the '''categories''' and see if we can rationalize/add to any of the categories in there (click on the [[Special:Categories|Categories]] link on the left menu);
* consult a '''suggestion list''' we keep running notes of wiki pages that need work, requests and suggestions for new pages, etc. The spreadsheet link will be shared in the IRC channel during the sprint;
* work through '''external lists''' of projects we might have lying around (such as the [http://www.eagle-network.eu/about/events/eagle2016/digital-poster-exhibition/ EAGLE 2016 Conference digital poster exhibition]) and see if the projects listed there are in the wiki and up to date;
* '''help''' on how to edit wiki pages are at the top of this page and in the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting MediaWiki Help:Formatting cheatsheet].

==Future sprints==

Usually the first (sometimes second) Tuesday of every month, and normally at 16:00–18:00 (UK time). Many sprints have a theme, but you are welcome to come and work on anything else as well in that time.

* October 5, 2021. Theme: Linked Ancient World Data (with the [[LAWD Catalogue]])
* November 2, 2021. Theme: tba
* December 7, 2021. Theme: tba

===Candidate future themes:===

* Pre-internet projects/resources
* Digital geography
* Computational linguistics/philology
* Character, language, etc. encoding
* Extra-Mediterranean classics
* Hittite and Cuneiform projects
