উইকিবই:উইকিমিডিয়ানদের জন্য উইকিবই: সংশোধিত সংস্করণের মধ্যে পার্থক্য

Wikibooks is one of many Wikimedia Foundation projects. Wikibooks is different from many of the other projects in that Wikibooks focuses on writing books rather than single pages. [[w:|Wikipedia]], [[q:|Wikiquote]], and [[wikt:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]] can each be thought of as hosting a single book for instance. Keeping this in mind should help you to understand many of Wikibooks' differences. This page is intended to help answer some frequently asked questions that people familiar with other Wikimedia projects ask and to help you become more familiar with Wikibooks' policies, guidelines and culture in the hopes that you might become a Wikibookian as well.

== Wikibooks is closely related to Wikipedia, but it's not part of Wikipedia ==

The most striking differences between Wikipedia and Wikibooks have to do with the nature of the projects. Encyclopedia articles and textbooks simply aren't the same things.

=== Textbooks vs. articles ===

* Wikibooks are supposed to be [[Wikibooksউইকিবই:Textbooks|Textbooks]], meaning that they are intended to facilitate teaching an area of knowledge.

* Textbooks are self-contained, meaning that the chapters link to each other internally, but not to other wikibooks.

* Textbooks have chapters, subchapters, and pages. A textbook should have navigation between its pages, a Table of Contents, and other book-like resources (glossary, appendices, etc).

* Textbooks are not supposed to be collections of individual articles, but are supposed to have a unifying theme and narrative.

* Textbooks shouldn't just include facts. A book needs to present those facts in a way that will be understandable by its target audience.

* To link to a Wikipedia article, use the form <code><nowiki>[[:w:Article title|text you want]]</nowiki></code>, where "<code>w:</code>" is the prefix for Wikipedia. (There are [[:m:Help:Interwiki linking#Project titles and shortcuts|other prefixes for other Wikimedia projects]]). Do not use the external link form (<code><nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w...</nowiki></code>). Any text after the pipe will render as linked text. The previous example renders as "[[:w:Article title|text you want]]".

** If the text you want to display is the same as the linked article title, then you can use the [[:w:Help:pipe trick|pipe trick]]. Type <code><nowiki>[[:w:Article title|]]</nowiki></code>. When there is a link to an article, but no text after the pipe, the name of the page will be displayed (without the <code>:w:</code> prefix). The previous example renders as "[[:w:Article title|Article title]]".

== Wikibookians take a different approach to many things ==

:See the [[WBউইকিবই:RR|reading room]].

:Some can be found at [[Wikibooksউইকিবই:WikiProject]]. For ones that do not exist, a place to start a discussion on creating one would be the [[WBউইকিবই:PROJECTS|projects reading room]].

:<nowiki>[[Any]] [[old]] [[word]]</nowiki> is unlikely to point to anything because Wikibooks' naming conventions differ from Wikipedia's. Also, books tend to collect most external links and resources together into a centralized bibliography. See [[Wikibooksউইকিবই:Dewikify]] for details.

:Disambiguation pages are only used in a limited way in the [[Cookbook:Table of Contents|Cookbook]]. Organizational pages (such as [[Subjectবিষয়:Books by subject|Subject pages]]) are used to list similar books.

:There are many differences, some big, some small. If you are interested in policy, see [[WBউইকিবই:PAG|The complete list of current Wikibooks policies]]. Wikibooks tends to be more minimalist than Wikipedia is, so the number of policies that we have is far smaller than Wikipedia.

:There is no single style, but we do have some [[Wikibooksউইকিবই:Manual of Style|recommendations that we suggest for new Wikibookians]]. Look them over, but remember, these are just guidelines. As an author or an editor, you are given many freedoms in designing your books. Where authors disagree, you must work towards [[WBউইকিবই:DM|consensus]]. Some of our books have individual style guides ([[Helpসাহায্য:Local manuals of style|local manuals of style]]) to try to keep things consistent within one book.

:[[WBউইকিবই:RFI|Request the article be imported]], then follow the instructions that will be added to the imported page.

:Most books, if they cite sources at all, gather all citation references in a single biographical type page, similar to what is commonly done in dead-tree books. See [[Wikibooksউইকিবই:Manual_of_Style#Footnotes_and_references]].

:Some pages have been [[Helpসাহায্য:Importing|imported]] from Wikipedia, but not yet rewritten into proper books. [[WBউইকিবই:BOLD|You can help!]]

== How you can help ==

:Wikibooks has many of the same tasks as Wikipedia does. Pages can be categorized, pages can be improved (edited, corrected, expanded), vandalism can be reverted, double-redirects can be removed... and the list goes on and on. For a listing of tasks that you can do, see [[WBউইকিবই:WM|Wikibooks Maintenance]].

:There are many ways to get involved at Wikibooks. Most discussions about policy and structure can be found in the [[WBউইকিবই:RR|Reading Room]] where people can ask and answer questions. There are always good books to look through in [[WBউইকিবই:FB|Featured Books]], where the community gets together and focuses on what books should be considered good models for other books to follow. Most of our debates about acceptable content on Wikibooks take place on the [[WBউইকিবই:RFD|requests for deletion]] page.
