Digital Sinology:使用指南
概述
Digital Sinology维基网站是个对古代东亚的文学、历史和文化研究的相关数位研究资讯进行介绍的开放平台。这个维基网站的目标是创建一个可持续发展的数位资源（资料库、工具、平台等）目录，为这些领域的学者提供有用的参考。利用维基的版面和网上常见的MediaWiki程式（这也是维基百科和许多网站使用的），我们希望学者、学生和其他各界有兴趣人士能参与提供信息，并善用这个平台进行有效的合作，并逐步构建一个探讨这些课题的社群。
开始作业
这个维基网站目前有三种语言的版本：英文, 中文和日文。这三个系统是互通的，所有英文的页面都属于英文版本的维基网站，中文的页面属于中文版本的维基网站，如此类推。页面如果有多种语言版本，在网页左侧会列出其他语言的链接。当您创建一个新的页面，请务必选择合适语言来开始作业。
进行编辑
登录
只要您是对东亚人文研究中的数位方法有过任何经验的专家、学生和独立学者，这个维基网站对您是开放的。网站上的内容是公开的，而要参与提供或修改其中内容，必须先创建一个账号，并登录。这个网站使用中国哲学书电子化计划 (ctext.org)的账号。如果您已经有“中国哲学书电子化计划”的账号，请登录并直接开始参与这个网站内容的编写。如还没有，可以在此创建一个账号。您将需要确认您的电子邮箱。
创建并确认之后，您可以在这个网站的任何一个页面右上角登录。如果您在“中国哲学书电子化计划”网站上已经登录您的账号，您会被带回这个Digital Sinology网站。如果还没，“中国哲学书电子化计划”网站将请您输入您的登录名称和密码。
编辑现有页面
You can edit most pages of the site by navigating to the page, then clicking the "Edit" link at the top-right of the page. This will display the text of the page in a special markup format called "Wikicode". Wikicode uses special conventions to indicate document structure, internal and external links, and other information - a detailed overview is available in the MediaWiki help page. Generally speaking, if unsure about the formatting marks, leave them as they are and type in your text normally with return characters between paragraphs.
上传图片
Images are often helpful in illustrating digital resources, tools, and platforms. To upload an image, start by clicking the "Upload file" link on the left hand side of a page. Click the "Browse" button and select the image file to upload. Choose a suitable filename for the image, add a short description, and make sure to select an appropriate license, then click "Upload file".
To insert the image into a page of the wiki, use wikicode of the form:
[[File:filename_goes_here.png]]
There are many options for displaying images - often it is useful to specify a size in pixels so that the image is displayed as a smaller preview of the full-size picture, together with a description - for example the image shown to the right of this paragraph is displayed using the code:
[[File:Liezi-page.png|200px|thumb|right|A page of ctext.org in page-by-page view]]
创建新页面
To create a new page, first enter the proposed title of your page in the search box at the top-right of the page. When you search for a page which does not yet exist, you will see a link of the form 'Create the page "____" on this wiki' - follow this link to create a new page with that title, then proceed as described in "Editing an existing page" above.
和维基百科的联系
This wiki is built on the MediaWiki software, which is the same software used by Wikipedia. Additionally, and again like Wikipedia, content on this wiki is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license. This means that generally speaking, content from this Wiki can be reposted to Wikipedia, and content from Wikipedia to this wiki - when doing this, please credit the source using the edit log or other appropriate mechanism.
The key differences between this wiki and Wikipedia are in scope of appropriate content. Wikipedia aims to create and curate encyclopedia entries for topics which meet appropriate criteria for notability and inclusion in a general-purpose encyclopedia; this wiki aims to create and curate information of notability and interest to a scholarly audience in the field of East Asian studies interested in digital resources and methods.
