Hi Steve, Valerie and all SignWriting List members, Thank you very much for the clarification Steve. Just one more question, could I also use the “literature” section to link the SignWriting texts to the Libras Wikipedia in the Wikimedia Incubator? I still have a lot of questions about the best way to publish articles on the Wikimedia Incubator. Valerie posted the link that directs to a page on Wikipedia in Libras of an article about the life of Hellen Keller, which I and two other colleagues wrote in the course with Adam Frost here in Brazil in 2018. But after that I never worked with him again. the production of articles on the Wikimedia Incubator, unfortunately. At that time, we produced the text in SignPuddle, and I don't remember if we used the “Encyclopedia” or “Literature” section, then we transferred the article to the Wikipedia site using FSW or SWU code. In fact, I have a project that aims to teach SignWriting course students to publish articles produced during the courses on the Wikimedia Incubator, similar to what Adam taught us on that occasion. But, I confess that I will need help, because it's been more than 4 years since Adam taught us and I don't remember the process of linking SignPuddle texts to Wikimedia Incubator. Would you have a help manual, or video tutorial teaching this procedure?
