Tools

From Elearning

This page discusses the way tools are described within the Test Tube project and list the tool pages available. Here's a link to the discussion page.

List of Tools

An automatically generated list of existing tool pages is available by visiting Category:Tools.

• Blogs, e.g. Blogger, Livejournal, or Wordpress
• Social bookmarking, e.g. del.icio.us and citeulike
• Web feeds, e.g. RSS and Atom
• Podcasting, a type of web feed for audio or video
• Web documents, e.g. Google Docs or Writeboards
• Wikis, e.g. Wikipedia
• Photo sharing, e.g. Flickr
• Video sharing, e.g. YouTube

Tool Page Template

There is a template available for creating tool pages, which is stored at Template:ToolPage. The template can be included in a new tool page automatically, by simply adding the following wikitext and resaving the page.

{{subst:ToolPage}}

We expect that many tool pages will diverge from this structure as needed. Hopefully, these variations will eventually converge on one or two optimal forms.

For the moment, the template is offered as a guide on what information to include.

Tool Infobox

Every tool page should contain an tool infobox, as shown on the right. The infobox is added automatically as part of the tool page template.

It can also be individually added to any page by placing the following wikitext at the top of the page.

{{Infobox Tool}}
