WikiQueer:Wikimedia

Wikimedia community logo

Family of Wikimedia projects

a collection of values shared by individuals (freedom of speech, knowledge for everyone, community sharing, etc.)
a collection of activities such as:
- Wikimedia projects, including:
- Conferences
- Workshops
- Wikiacademies
a collection of organizations (Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia chapters etc.), as well as some free electrons (individuals without chapters) and similar-minded organizations

Through relationships with individual projects, WikiProjects and editors - and thanks to their various licenses - content from their projects can be transcluded into WikiQueer articles.

While there is no official partnership between Aequalitas Project, Wikimedia Foundation and/or WikiQueer - the WikiQueer community is also proud to be significant contributors in areas of the Wikimedia movement.

[edit] Method of displaying content

[edit] Wikipedia

Main article: Template:Wikipedia transclusion

The Template:WPT allows you to display a Wikipedia article directly within your article.

To display Wikipedia content:

{{WPT|Entry Name}}

For example, to display the entry on Harvey Milk:

{{WPT|Harvey Milk}}

[edit] Wikimedia Commons

Main article: Commons:Commons:First steps/Reuse section Embedding Commons' media in MediaWiki based projects

To embed a Wikimedia Commons image or video file in WikiQueer, just include it in the same way as if it were to be stored locally.

To include an image in a page, use for example a link in the form (standard usage shown):

[[Image:file.jpg|thumb|alt=alt text|caption]]

See WQ:ALT and WQ:CAPTION for what should go into alt text and caption, respectively.

Further details can be found at Help:Visual file markup and Help:Sound file markup.
