WikiTeroka Challenge 2.0/FAQ
Question: I'm having trouble logging in (log in) on Wikipedia. What do I have to do?
Answer: Make sure you have followed the procedure in the video tutorial which you can access at [tutorial link]. Also, make sure the username you are going to create is not already on Wikipedia.
Ask: When registering an account on Wikipedia, I can't do it, because access is blocked. How to?
Answer: It is possible that the IP address you are using is blocked by one of the administrators of Wikipedia or Meta (which maintains the Wikimedia website globally) because it is being used by irresponsible users. The solution, when you want to register an account, you can use another internet connection first. Once registered, you can log in (log in) and edit using your original internet connection.
Question: Which references can be used as a reference?
Answer: References used on Wikipedia must be from trusted sources. The site used must have an editorial board, not a fake site, personal blog, or user generated content site. Other language Wikipedias cannot be used as references. Journals are also attempted, as much as possible, which are open access (open access) so that other users can also check the validity of the reference. Predator journals are not allowed to be used.
Question: Am I required to provide a referral?
Answer: You are required to provide a referral for each content you add. Content added without reference cannot be verified and may be removed by administrators or other Wikipedia users.
Question: What is meant by “bit”?
Answer: A byte in Wikipedia is a unit of the number of characters in a Wikipedia article. This unit can also be used to see how complete or comprehensive the article is. For example, there is an article with a size of 20,000 bytes, then the article has 20,000 characters. You can see the “byte” size on the Previous Versions page of your article.
Question: I'm confused to display the formula on Wikipedia. Is there a help page?
