Introduction

Thank you for the interest in helping us present the Billy Meier and FIGU information in English.

This Wiki uses technology that allows anyone to add or edit content, we work together, and you don't need to be a computer programmer to learn how it is done. The technology is called MediaWiki.

Please keep it light, breezy, friendly and refreshingly welcoming for everyone, thank you.

Setting up an account

In order to make a contribution to this Wiki you must first create an account and then login with that account. Click on Log in / create account in the top right-hand corner of the page then enter the requested information.
Then send an e-mail to [contact details on main page] requesting you be made an "editor". Please state your Wiki username, full name and home address and describe the changes or additions you intend to make to the Wiki once you are given access. This extra step is required to further reduce spam and vandalism.
You can now create and edit pages (unprotected ones only).
(Optional) Add your personal details to your user page (click on your username at the top of the page).
(Recommended) I recommend you refer to the MediaWiki Handbook to learn how to edit a page.
(Recommended) Contributors should sign in and contribute to the .co.uk domain not the .info domain. The .info domain is a mirror / copy, and the .co.uk is the master, the .co.uk overwrites / syncs to the .info domain every night. However the .info is on a faster server, so as editor it's recommended to promote the use of it on social media if you do that.

Wiki Rules

When submitting new articles you must try your best to ensure that:

you include one of the following tags at the top of the article to include the relevant notice template:
- {{Officialauthorised}}
- {{Unofficialauthorised}}
- {{Unofficialunauthorised}}
- These get displayed as the following notices when the article is saved:

IMPORTANT NOTE
This is an official and authorised translation of a FIGU publication.

N.B. This translation contains errors due to the insurmountable language differences between German and English.
Before reading onward, please read this necessary prerequisite to understanding this document.

IMPORTANT NOTE
This is an unofficial but authorised translation of a FIGU publication.

N.B. This translation contains errors due to the insurmountable language differences between German and English.
Before reading onward, please read this necessary prerequisite to understanding this document.

IMPORTANT NOTE
This is an unofficial and unauthorised translation of a FIGU publication.

N.B. This translation contains errors due to the insurmountable language differences between German and English.
Before reading onward, please read this necessary prerequisite to understanding this document.

if appropriate, also include the following tag
- {{Nonfigupublication}}
- This displays the following notice:

IMPORTANT NOTE
This article is not an official FIGU publication.

if appropriate, also include the following tag
- {{Necessaryprerequisitetoundestandingthisdocument}}
- This displays the following notice:
  N.B. This translation contains errors due to the insurmountable language differences between German and English.
  Before reading onward, please read this necessary prerequisite to understanding this document.
the translation includes the original German text, if available, which must be exact to the character.
the line numbering should also be included in the article if it existed in the original text and if available.
you include the translator's name, if available, at the top of each page
you include references at the bottom of the page using the <ref>...</ref%gt; tag within the body of the text and <references /> tag at the bottom.
you include the source (URL or book title and ISBN) of the article

Once an article is submitted, a Wiki admin will check and verify and improve the article for presentation quality purposes only, not translation quality.

Vandalism will not be tolerated. IP addresses of offending users will be blocked permanently. It is also pointless since any changes petty or otherwise can easily be rolled back.

Editing Tips

The easiest way to create a page is to create a link to a new page then click on that link^[1].
You can now use the new gaiaguys-article-to-Wiki-table convertor - it is not perfect but helps save some editing time. It is useful for creating a MediaWiki table from a combined German-English translation whereby the lines are alternatively in English, German, English, German.
There is now also another tool for merging separate German and English articles into the same Contact Report.
The easiest way to edit a page is by using ‘regular expressions’ locally in word processor on unformatted page code. In the ‘Find & Replace’ dialogue, special characters can be inserted allowing for complicated finding and replacing automatically. Take care with this editing method if the German and English are together. Libreoffice regular exprssions

Contact Report Layout Template

In 2019 a tool was kindly created to help with this process: https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/convertben2.php
Below is the manual advice (possibly outdated) - please refer to Contact Report 001 which we use as our benchmark.

There is also something on A Note to Editors page.

Quick introduction guide:

At the top of a contact report page is some information. Copy and paste it into a new page.

First line sets the category for the page. It makes it listed on a category page like this one Category:Prophecies and Predictions or this one Category:Spirit Teaching and well of course in this case it will place it here Category:Contact Reports. Every page has to have a category assigned to it, please.

Second line (Change this line) shows what translation type it is, see above section about translation label types.

Third line is simply a presentation spacer

Fourth line displays the table of contents at that position.

Fifth line another line space.

[[Category:Contact Reports]]
{{Officialauthorised}}
<br>
__TOC__
<br>

Then follows an introduction block with all kinds of data. Result:

==Introduction==

Example from Contact Report 001

Contact Reports Volume / Issue: 1 (Plejadisch-Plejarische Kontaktberichte Block 1)
pp. 27-30 [Contact No. 1 – 38 from 28.1.1975 to 13.11.1975] Stats | Source
Contact Reports Band / Block: 1 (Semjase-Bericht Gespräch Erlebnisse Block 1)
pp. 11-15 [Contact No. 1 – 23 from 28.1.1975 to 3.6.1975] Stats | (out of print)
Date/time of contact: Tuesday, 28^th January, 1975 – 14:34 (Erster Kontakt)
Translator(s): Benjamin Stevens
Date of original translation: 2010
Corrections and improvements made: Stefan Zutt, Joseph Darmanin,

</small>

Then comes the synopsis. You can write your own synopsis.

=== Synopsis ===

Followed by a space and then a short what it is.

This is an excerpt of the contact.

The variations are 'full' (if the German side is complete or English side or both sides), 'preliminary' (if its an amateur translation which has not been thoroughly checked yet), 'extract' (for a very short section), 'excerpt' if its a longer but not complete, or 'partial'. They can also be combined if its preliminary and an excerpt.

Some may also include a reiteration of the information at the top of the page. This is not necessary because of the information at the top of the page, like this.

This is a partial and preliminary translation of the contact. It is an unauthorised and unofficial translation and may contain errors.

Then the contact report begins

==Further reading==

Add links to pages which are relevant to what was talked about in the contact here, so that readers can just click away and move onto a new page without having to type anything or do anything.

Whatever the next contact report is in the sequence
Planets
Semjase
Atlantis
MIB

etc.,

Then theres the source and references section,

==Source==
<br>
==References==
<references />
<br>

Which you add the source where it was found, or if it was sent to you by email from a translator, or another website such as au.figu.org or ca.figu.org etc., and the URL

<ref>I am a reference to this German word at dict.figu.org full URL</ref>

Reference Templates

Instead of explaining on every page that German words are in the English translation because there are not suitable English synonyms for that word, you can use a template.

ausartungTemplate:Ref:ausartung gemütTemplate:Ref:gemüt gewalt^[2] wesen^[3]

It creates a reference at the bottom of the page. The code looks like this, it can be just entered as is into the body of the text.

ausartung{{Ref:ausartung}}
gemüt{{Ref:gemüt}}
gewalt{{Ref:gewalt}}
wesen{{Ref:wesen}}

Newspaper Clippings

Template:PPKBnewsclip - Includes a centered label explaining it's from a newspaper and included in the book.

Template:PPKBnewsclipb - No center label - for chaining multiple articles, as seen in book.

Template:PPKBnewsclipc - An image of the newspaper clipping itself instead, if want to upload.

{{PPKBnewsclip|1=English language newspaper article title|2=Date it was published in English|3=German language newspaper article title|4=Date it was published in German}}

1= will display text in the title area on the english side

2= will display text in the date area on the english side

3= will display text in the title area on the german side

4= will display text in the date area on the german side

5= (For Template:PPKBnewsclipc only) will display the image put in there.

{{PPKBnewsclip|2=Date it was published in English|3=German language newspaper article title|1=English language newspaper article title|4=Date it was published in German}}


“English language newspaper article title” Date it was published in English	Newspaper clipping from book. Image available in printed book.	«German language newspaper article title» Date it was published in German

But it's probably best to do it 1 2 3 4 5 so as not to confuse everyone.

1: About Template:PPKBnewsclip

Newsclip is with the centre text explaining it's from a newspaper clipping in the printed book.

{{PPKBnewsclip|1=English language newspaper article title|2=Date it was published in English|3=German language newspaper article title|4=Date it was published in German}}

Result:

2: About Template:PPKBnewsclipb

Newsclipb is without the centre text for chaining newspaper clippings.

{{PPKBnewsclipb|1=English language newspaper article title|2=Date it was published in English|3=German language newspaper article title|4=Date it was published in German}}

Result:

3: About Template:PPKBnewsclipc

Newsclipc is with centre image for newspaper clippings instead. The first line of the image description displays the name of the page itself - which should be Contact Report number.

Letters / Special box

Occasionally a letter i.e. a written, typed, or printed communication, sent in an envelope by post or messenger, by someone else - is included in the printed book. A presentation example is in Contact Report 230, CTRL+F / Find "by Silvano Lehmann". You can use this to present such letters if you would like to include them in the translation.

Pleasant spacing

Doing the name tag for the person speaking like this:

| <br>'''Billy:'''
| <br>'''Billy:'''
|- style="vertical-align:top;"

Adds a welcomed space, example in Contact Report 002.

Linking

The link is the word after the forward slash / after Billy_Meier/

https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_008

So the link is the FIGU_Bulletin_008 part. It can have the underscores taken out like this, and put into brackets.

[[FIGU Bulletin 008]]

Result is FIGU Bulletin 008, which can now be clicked on.

You can also change what is written to that link like this

[[FIGU Bulletin 008|Bulletin by FIGU, number eight]]

Which then looks like this Bulletin by FIGU, number eight but links to that page.

Some links need to have a colon in for them to work. This is rare but incase you needed to know, it's needed for things like linking to a category instead of making the page that category, or linking to an image instead of the image being shown.

[[:File:UFO_India.jpg]]

Result:
File:UFO_India.jpg
without the colon it would do this, and show it:

Quick sequence access

All Contact Reports, Special Bulletins, Bulletins have URLs and link methods which are similar across the database. Just change the number at the end.
Internal Links Just change number at end.

[[Contact Report 001]]
[[Contact Report 256]]
[[Contact Report 512]]

URL Links Just change number at end.

https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_008
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_016
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_027

Etc.

Redirects

Create a new page with;

#REDIRECT [[Atlantis]]

Save it, and it should now redirect the reader to the page within the brackets. If it doesn’t work it may be an invalid link.

Quotes

A new quote template was developed in 2019 to standardise the presentation of quotes across the entire website, because currently they're all presented differently.

It looks like this [right]:

_“ ...evolution is an infinitely variable development of learning and cognition as well as of the acquisition of true love, knowledge and wisdom. And this process is granted to all coarse-matter life-forms, as well as to all the domains of the spirit-forms in their pure spirit-energy levels.

”
^{^{Billy, Contact Report 228, May 1989}}

The way to use the template has been made reasonably simple.

{{Quote2|1=right|2=quote|3=source|4=35}}

1 = left / center / right

2 = The quote text itself, can be 1 line or a paragraph.

3 = [[Contact Report 228|''Billy, Contact Report 228, May 1989'']]

4 = width of box, recommended is 35% aligned right. Sometimes to space and proportion it well on the page a different width is necessary, e.g 47%, 42% etc., about this general proportionality looks best.

To edit the template, remember any change is site wide, it's here:
Template:Quote2

For examples and recommended usage see:
Spirit Teaching - top of page
Contact Reports - top of page

Recommended use is side by side with TOC at the top of the page, make sure there is a nice gap in between them.

Please use good quotes, reference and test any submission at a variety of different screen sizes (use Ctrl++ / +-) and internet browser types e.g. chrome, firefox, edge, iexplorer, safari etc.

Dictionary definition box

+* the translation includes the original German text, if available, which must be exact to the character.
+* the line numbering should also be included in the article if it existed in the original text and if available.
+* you include the translator's name, if available, at the top of each page
+* you include references at the bottom of the page using the &lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref%gt; tag within the body of the text and &lt;references /&gt; tag at the bottom.

+== Editing Tips ==
+# The easiest way to create a page is to create a link to a new page then click on that link<ref>Make sure that the link does not contain quotation marks, because otherwise you will run into problems.</ref>.
+# You can now use [https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/convertgaiaguys.php the new gaiaguys-article-to-Wiki-table convertor] - it is not perfect but helps save some editing time. It is useful for creating a MediaWiki table from a combined German-English translation whereby the lines are alternatively in English, German, English, German.
+# There is now also [https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/convertben2.php another tool for merging separate German and English articles into the same Contact Report].
+# The easiest way to edit a page is by using ‘regular expressions’ locally in word processor on unformatted page code. In the ‘Find & Replace’ dialogue, special characters can be inserted allowing for complicated finding and replacing automatically. Take care with this editing method if the German and English are together. [https://help.libreoffice.org/3.5/Common/List_of_Regular_Expressions Libreoffice regular exprssions]
+== Contact Report Layout Template ==
+In 2019 a tool was kindly created to help with this process: https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/convertben2.php<br>
+Below is the manual advice (possibly outdated) - please refer to [[Contact Report 001]] which we use as our benchmark.
+There is also something on [[A Note to Editors]] page.
+'''Quick introduction guide:'''
+At the top of a contact report page is some information. Copy and paste it into a new page.
+:First line sets the category for the page. It makes it listed on a category page like this one [[:Category:Prophecies and Predictions]] or this one [[:Category:Spirit Teaching]] and well of course in this case it will place it here [[:Category:Contact Reports]]. Every page has to have a category assigned to it, please.
+:Second line ('''Change this line''') shows what translation type it is, see above section about translation label types.
+:Third line is simply a presentation spacer
+:Fourth line displays the table of contents at that position.
+:Fifth line another line space.
+<pre>[[Category:Contact Reports]]
+{{Officialauthorised}}

+__TOC__

+Then follows an introduction block with all kinds of data.

+Followed by a space and then a short what it is.
+'''This is an excerpt of the contact.'''
+:The variations are 'full' (if the German side is complete or English side or both sides), 'preliminary' (if its an amateur translation which has not been thoroughly checked yet), 'extract' (for a very short section), 'excerpt' if its a longer but not complete, or 'partial'. They can also be combined if its preliminary and an excerpt.
+:Some may also include a reiteration of the information at the top of the page. This is not necessary because of the information at the top of the page, like this.

+==Further reading==
+</pre>
+Add links to pages which are relevant to what was talked about in the contact here, so that readers can just click away and move onto a new page without having to type anything or do anything.
+* Whatever the next contact report is in the sequence
+* [[Planets]]
+* [[Semjase]]
+* [[Atlantis]]
+* [[MIB]]
+etc.,
+Then theres the source and references section,
+<pre>
+==Source==
+<br>
+==References==
+<references />
+<br>
+</pre>
+Which you add the source where it was found, or if it was sent to you by email from a translator, or another website such as au.figu.org or ca.figu.org etc., and the URL
+<pre>
+<ref>I am a reference to this German word at dict.figu.org full URL</ref>
+</pre>
+=== Reference Templates ===
+Instead of explaining on every page that German words are in the English translation because there are not suitable English synonyms for that word, you can use a template.
+ausartung{{Ref:ausartung}}
+gemüt{{Ref:gemüt}}
+gewalt{{Ref:gewalt}}
+wesen{{Ref:wesen}}
+It creates a reference at the bottom of the page. The code looks like this, it can be just entered as is into the body of the text.
+<pre>
+ausartung{{Ref:ausartung}}
+gemüt{{Ref:gemüt}}
+gewalt{{Ref:gewalt}}
+wesen{{Ref:wesen}}
+</pre>
+=== Newspaper Clippings ===
+:[[:Template:PPKBnewsclip]] - Includes a centered label explaining it's from a newspaper and included in the book.
+:[[:Template:PPKBnewsclipb]] - No center label - for chaining multiple articles, as seen in book.
+:[[:Template:PPKBnewsclipc]] - An image of the newspaper clipping itself instead, if want to upload.
+<pre>
+{{PPKBnewsclip|1=English language newspaper article title|2=Date it was published in English|3=German language newspaper article title|4=Date it was published in German}}</pre>

+{{PPKBnewsclip|2=Date it was published in English|3=German language newspaper article title|1=English language newspaper article title|4=Date it was published in German}}
+But it's probably best to do it 1 2 3 4 5 so as not to confuse everyone.
+----
+<big>
+: 1: About [[:Template:PPKBnewsclip]]</big>
+Newsclip is with the centre text explaining it's from a newspaper clipping in the printed book.

+Newsclipb is without the centre text for chaining newspaper clippings.

+Newsclipc is with centre image for newspaper clippings instead. The first line of the image description displays the name of the page itself - which should be Contact Report number.

+</small>
+<pre>
+{{LINKNAVS}}
+</pre>
+Result:<br>
+{{LINKNAVS}}
+----
+It's here if you need to edit it; any edit is site wide change:
+: [[:Template:LINKNAVS]]
+=== Copyright ===
+</small>
+To be used conservatively
+[[:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Copyright]]
+<pre>
+==Source==
+* ['example source URL' space 'name']
+<br>
+=== Impressum / Copyright / Disclaimer ===
+{{Copyright}}
+</pre>
+Using the template results in this:<br>
+{{Copyright}}
+=== Letters / Special box ===
+Occasionally a letter i.e. a written, typed, or printed communication, sent in an envelope by post or messenger, by someone else - is included in the printed book. A presentation example is in [[Contact Report 230]], CTRL+F / Find "by Silvano Lehmann". You can use this to present such letters if you would like to include them in the translation.
+=== Pleasant spacing ===
+Doing the name tag for the person speaking like this:
+<pre>
+| <br>'''Billy:'''
+| <br>'''Billy:'''
+|- style="vertical-align:top;"
+</pre>
+Adds a welcomed space, example in [[Contact Report 002]].
+=== Linking ===
+The link is the word after the forward slash / after Billy_Meier/
+<pre>
+https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_008
+</pre>
+So the link is the FIGU_Bulletin_008 part. It can have the underscores taken out like this, and put into brackets.
+<pre>
+[[FIGU Bulletin 008]]
+</pre>
+Result is [[FIGU Bulletin 008]], which can now be clicked on.
+You can also change what is written to that link like this
+<pre>
+[[FIGU Bulletin 008|Bulletin by FIGU, number eight]]
+</pre>
+Which then looks like this [[FIGU Bulletin 008|Bulletin by FIGU, number eight]] but links to that page.
+Some links need to have a colon in for them to work. This is rare but incase you needed to know, it's needed for things like linking to a category instead of making the page that category, or linking to an image instead of the image being shown.
+<pre>
+[[:File:UFO_India.jpg]]
+</pre>
+Result:<br>
+[[:File:UFO_India.jpg]]<br>
+without the colon it would do this, and show it:<br>
+[[File:UFO_India.jpg|100px|left]]
+<br clear="all" />
+=== Quick sequence access ===
+All Contact Reports, Special Bulletins, Bulletins have URLs and link methods which are similar across the database. Just change the number at the end.<br>
+'''Internal Links''' Just change number at end.
+<pre>
+[[Contact Report 001]]
+[[Contact Report 256]]
+[[Contact Report 512]]
+</pre>
+'''URL Links''' Just change number at end.
+<pre>
+https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_008
+https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_016
+https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU_Bulletin_027
+</pre>
+Etc.
+=== Redirects ===
+Create a new page with;
+<pre>
+#REDIRECT [[Atlantis]]
+</pre>
+Save it, and it should now redirect the reader to the page within the brackets. If it doesn’t work it may be an invalid link.
+----
+=== Quotes ===
+A new quote template was developed in 2019 to standardise the presentation of quotes across the entire website, because currently they're all presented differently.
+It looks like this [right]:
+{{Quote2|1=right|2=...evolution is an infinitely variable development of learning and  cognition as well as of the acquisition of true love, knowledge and  wisdom. And this process is granted to all coarse-matter life-forms, as well as  to all the domains of the spirit-forms in their pure spirit-energy levels.|3=[[Contact Report 228|''Billy, Contact Report 228, May 1989'']]|4=45}}
+The way to use the template has been made reasonably simple.
-'''Note: Vandalism will not be tolerated. IP addresses of offending users will be blocked permanently. It is also pointless since any changes petty or otherwise can easily be rolled back.'''
+<pre>
+{{Quote2|1=right|2=quote|3=source|4=35}}
+</pre>
-== Editing Tips ==
+= left / center / right
+= The quote text itself, can be 1 line or a paragraph.
+<pre>
+= [[Contact Report 228|''Billy, Contact Report 228, May 1989'']]
+</pre>
+= width of box, recommended is 35% aligned right. Sometimes to space and proportion it well on the page a different width is necessary, e.g 47%, 42% etc., about this general proportionality looks best.
+To edit the template, remember any change is site wide, it's here:<br>
+[[:Template:Quote2]]
+For examples and recommended usage see:<br>
+[[Spirit Teaching]] - ''top of page''<br>
+[[Contact Reports]] - ''top of page''
+Recommended use is side by side with TOC at the top of the page, make sure there is a nice gap in between them.
+Please use good quotes, reference and test any submission at a variety of different screen sizes (use Ctrl++ / +-) and internet browser types e.g. chrome, firefox, edge, iexplorer, safari etc.
