Editing the Dharma Dictionary
Creating New Pages & Text
- In the new pages you create, please try to enclose the names of important people, scriptures, key terminoligy, and places within double square brackets.
- When including the Tibetan spelling of name or place, please do so in Wylie. By doing so within parentheses, as well as square brackets, you automatically create a hyperlink to the "Wylie-based" dictionary, which presently has around 180,000 entries.
- Whenever you are sure, please include a "category" at the bottom of the new page. This will help greatly in special searches. For more about already created categories, see Special:Categories
