Note to self from Henny about doing patrolling lesson:


 * For Day-1 training: There's a lot of stuff to go through. Take your time. You may need to use the whole two hours. That's not a problem. Day-2 will be used for hands-on and LAB. All chapters covered on the first day only contains a quiz section; none contains a practice exercise section, so you need not ask them about it.


 * Focus on teaching from the documentation and don't go to the patrolling page "except" to show them how to get there.


 * In Chapter 10, you might want to spend a minute or two covering each “Why is this important?” section where found.


 * It is most important that we go "slowly and in detail" through Chapter 13: Patrolling Guidelines. We want them to know what they should and should not do BEFORE they do any patrolling.


 * Don't be afraid to tell them "we'll show you tomorrow when we have the LAB". That's what Brian does when he's teaching wikitext and one or more trainees have a question that would be addressed later.


 * Don't waste time addressing a question that you can demonstrate later. Note down the question.


 * '''Make sure you address the question "later" so they don't think you forgot about

them. '''

Below are 10 examples of pages with coding issues. Please put the pages in your sandbox and then see if you can find the problem. This is the actual page that was used for these problems. P.S.You might see some formatting or grammar or spelling problems on this page. That is not what we are to be looking for - just Wikitext coding problems.

Wiki Text Coding ....Look for Errors while patrolling:
This is text placed between opening and closing div tags with padding and light green color attributes. ....

style="background-color:lightgreen; padding:5px;">This is text placed between opening and closing div tags with padding and light green color attributes without the opening tag. ....

This is text placed between opening and closing div tags with padding and light blue color attributes.....

This is text placed between opening and closing div tags with padding and light blue color attributeswithout the closing tag. .....

The text above should be placed between both opening and closing div tags in order for the text below it to be without a background color.

(Frequently the closing div tag is left out or mis-typed. All kinds of crazy things can happen; but the one problem you often see is the sidebars disappear. You will find them at the very bottom of the page. Obviously you need to find where this missing div tag needs to go.)

Importance of Table tags:
Example with proper Table tags:

Examples without proper Table tags:

breadcrumb }}
 * link1=United States
 * link2=Missouri
 * link3=
 * link4=
 * link5=Adair County

and

{{breadcrumb
 * link1=United States
 * link2=Missouri
 * link3=
 * link4=
 * link5=Adair County

Example of too large of image:


Example of how to reduce Image:



Bold and italic tags
This is bold text placed between opening and closing 

This is italicized text placed between opening and closing 

Problem:

Text inside a light gray border box
like this

A space has been placed between the first word of a text and the left side of the page.

Solution: Remove the extra space between left side of page and first word:
