NODES AND WRITEUPS E2 users called ''noders'' create entries called ''nodes'' and add information in multiple ''writeups.'' Only logged-in users can create writeups, and only the author of a writeup or an editor appointed by the site administrators can edit a writeup. E2 categorizes writeups into four types: ''person'', ''place'', ''idea'', and ''thing''. Writeups are written in a simplified HTML dialect and do not contain images. As of 25 July , 2005 , 1,025,556 nodes and 444,183 writeups exist. There are other types of nodes that do not contain writeups; for instance, the administrators can create "superdoc" nodes (similar to ) such as Everything New Nodes and Page of Cool that allow interaction, and each user has a "homenode" where he or she can add a short autobiography or other text (or a picture, if he or she is level six or above -- see Rewards , below). Links ''Hard links'' in E2 are simply words or phrases surrounded by brackets . Any words inside square brackets in a writeup will become a link to the E2 node of that title. If a node with that title does not yet exist, following the link will bring up the option to create it. Recently, partial support for external URLs has been implemented. A hardlinked URL will provide, in addition to the option to create a new node, a link to the URL. Heavy use of external URLs is discouraged, however, as E2 is supposed to stand on its own and contain a largely self-supportive infrastructure. | ||
| Noders Can Link To A Specific Writeup Within A Node By Appending ''(person)'', ''(place)'', ''(idea)'' Or ''(thing)'' To A Pipe Link For Example, The Pipe Link | "Wiki" class="copylinks" target="_blank">(thing)Wiki links directly to the writeup of the type ''thing'' within the ''Wiki'' node If the node contains more than one writeup of the specified type, the pipe link returns a "Duplicates Found" page linking to every writeup of the specified type within the node |
