Help:Glossary
This page explains how to add new entries to the English-language Glossary page. Glossary entries will be used to show pop-up "tooltips" in pages, which allow people to view a glossary entry from any page that uses the term being defined.
Adding a new glossary entry[edit | edit source]
1) You can add a new glossary entry in the Visual Editor by inserting the template "Glossary entry". Be sure to specify any abbreviations or synonyms, including different spellings, capitalizations, or single/plural forms. The entry will look something like this:
(BPS) - a school of thought, usually based in psychology, which claims illness and disease to be the result of the intermingling of biological, psychological and social causes.
2) Unfortunately, there is no way to add a citation to a glossary entry in the Visual Editor. If you are familiar with the Source Editor, you can add citations inside the "Definition" box when editing a glossary entry. The simplest way to do this is to add <ref>www.somewebsite.com</ref> to the end of the "Definition".
3) If there are any abbreviations or synonyms that should get their own glossary entry, you can add them by inserting the "Glossary see other entry" template. The entry will look something like this:
- BPS - See Biopsychosocial model.
