Navigating BoyWiki

What is BoyWiki?

A place to learn and share. Develop and explore.

Basic navigation

Main Page

There's a graphic browsing bar at the bottom of the Main Page with links to the main Portals which are illustrated article summaries like the Main Page. Portals include "Featured content", is the way to the best articles, pictures, lists in the Category.

Orientation

The English BoyWiki is one of three BoyWiki projects, and has the URL https://www.boywiki.org/. Versions in other languages have other two-letter labels, such as the fr:Boywiki at https://www.boywiki.org/fr/Accueil.

Within BoyWiki (and other projects), content is separated into namespaces, which appear before the page name. For example, Help:Editing is in the Help: namespace. Regular encyclopedia articles are in a namespace with no prefix added. Namespaces come in pairs, one for content and one for talk — for example, Help talk:Editing. Another example is your user page and associated talk page, which is added to the User: and User talk: namespaces. You can switch between content and talk pages using the first two tabs at the top of each page.

Contents and index browsing

BoyWiki contains information on all sorts of subjects ranging from politics, science, history, music, religion, pop culture, sports and many other topics.

To help you find your way around this world of knowledge, BoyWiki has many pages that organize its contents. These lists and indices use links to the articles that are organized by subject or alphabetically. Our best content also finds its way to one of the featured content lists. Links to all of BoyWiki's main contents pages are presented below, and they in turn link to all the rest.

Category browsing

Template:Main Every article has a list at the bottom of all the major categories it belongs to. For example Albert Einstein is listed under:

1879 births, 1955 deaths, Cosmologists, German physicists, German-Americans, Naturalized citizens of the United States, Nobel laureates in Physics, Refugees, Vegetarians, World federalists.

Each of these categories can be browsed and is linked to related categories in an interconnected hierarchy or web.
