How to use and contribute

From Atomix

Creating and editing wiki pages

  • You can create new pages and edit existing ones provided you have a user account. At the moment, only ATOMIX working group members have access as we begin organizing the information.
  • At the moment, only Category:Concept and Category:Fundamentals pages can be edited by ATOMIX working group members. These two categories use the same template/forms.

Peer-review and commenting

  • Please take a look at discussion page for help on threaded comments.
  • Eventually, we'll be accepting comments from the community when the processing steps will be delineated on the wiki. We're in the process of establishing the how and where, but "when" is in 2022.

Tips and tricks

Beyond using the editor, there are a few tips for adding internal links, which are described on MediaWiki help.

  • The most important trick is the piped internal links. For example writing [[Turbulence spectrum| turbulence page]] which link the words turbulence page to an internal page called Turbulence spectrum.

Inserting special symbols and math

Wrap your Tex code with <math>\varepsilon</math> to render [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon }[/math]

Citing and references

  • The <references/> tag inserts the text of all the citations which have defined using <ref></ref>tags up to that point in the page. A good practice is to place these references at the bottom of the pages under a subsection ==Notes==.
  • To streamline formatting of published papers, please use the Cite journal template within the <ref></ref> tags. For example doing
<ref name="Sreenivasan">{{Cite journal
|authors= K. R. Sreenivasan
|journal_or_publisher= Phys. Fluids
|paper_or_booktitle=  On the universality of the Kolmogorov constant
|year= 1995
|doi= 10.1063/1.868656
}}</ref>

will create a citation [1]. You can continue referring to it using <ref name="Sreenivasan"> that will link to the correct reference [1]

Creating tables

Tables can be converted from a spreadsheet (or latex code) into a MediaWiki by copy and pasting it into this handy online tool using their file menu. You can also paste Mediawiki, markdown or HTML code into the tool. You can then manipulate the table's or cell's format and generate code in different languages (csv, standard excel tables, MediaWiki and TeX tables, and more).

Examples of collapsible items

Below are examples of formatting used in this page for future reference.
