Just a thought to avoid duplicates...I noticed that you added an article for "Rehat Maryada". There was already another article with a slightly different spelling. As much as possible it would be good to do a search to see if you find an existing article so that we can avoid multiple articles with different spellings. I know this will be an ongoing issue because many people spell words differently.

The past day or so I saw people changing words back and forth, Like: Baisakhi, Vasakhi, vaisakhi, etc... and same thing with things like Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru...etc...

Normally what I would do to fix the duplicates...is decide which one to keep...and then use the "move" option which is listed on the top of the article to point it to the article we want to keep. This might also help since there would be both spellings in the system which I think would show up in the search results.

File Uploads

I have enabled PDF files to be allowed for upload. If there are other file formats that you wish to upload that are not being allowed let me know.

These are the formats that are current allowed: 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg', 'pdf', 'mp3', 'doc'

Subcategories

To create a subcategory..just create a category called "Bhagats"...and then put the category tag listing the parent category. This will make it a sub category.

Then..in the documents...just add the category tag: for Bhagats...and it will show up under that category.

Sikh Stories

The Sikh Stories category is now a sub category of "Historical Events".

Book Sources

I actually tried...and don't know how to add them. I searched around but couldn't figure out how to add a book source.

Permission Templates

You can view them here. The text is still based on Wikipedia. I updated some to reflect SikhiWiki...but you can change it as you need.

Tip: When you want to find something. Try the search. I just typed "permission" and it was the first article :)

Duplication of Pages - Guru Nanak, etc

Many thanks for your comments & for bringing this to my attantion. Hopefully, as we get time, we should merge these into a single page. All the other variations on the name should then be redirected to this main page. Thanks again. User:Hari singh
