How to: Wikilink the Executives
You may wonder how you can make your page a little more dynamic, which would include placing the directors of the company in their appropriate category.
Your Director/Executive section may look like this
Oh, you're right - I thought it was on every quote page, but I'm not seeing now either. I'll see what I can do about that.
I was using the site message to introduce people to the new platform. I don't know if it would be intuitive for people at this point to provide the link to the ADVFN wiki. Hmmmm...
Thanks!
Thanks Shelly
I see it on the board page (per your link) but if you put in a symbol in "GET QUOTE" there is no link there..
Also the links at the top of most of the board pages take you to this thread instead of to ADVFN Wiki
That may be OK for not to get people familiar with it but you my as well have a direct link at the top of the threads.

See the quote box here?
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=4338
Bottom right in the box you should see a link to WIKI.
Thanks for adding that piece!
If you scroll to the very bottom of the page, see where it says categories? Medical/Drug is in red which means a page doesn't exist for that yet.
By clicking on it, wiki automatically creates a page for you. Not with formatting though and I'll attempt that part now. ;)
Edit - oh, that was simple! You just create the page and type in "This category is for companies who are involved with...." and it auto adds the company for you to that page. Wiki's are great. :)
Another Edit - I guess now that I've fixed it, that part is no longer red. But, that's what red means whenever you see it on a wiki page - "a board is not yet created for this, click here to create one".
Thank you very much!! I've already had one CEO reach out and thank me. He even offered a correction.
Before anyone gets too excited though, the ceo didn't hunt me down. I have sent an Email to each of the IR departments of the company's which I added information for and requested them to review the wiki.
Congrats smalltime on the Asst Mod and spectacular job with the Wikis
Great concept guys this is going to be a great resource.
Dont mind him. He just likes to whine about everything. Maybe he should have read that post?????
I think I added it correctly.
http://wiki.advfn.com/en/OTCBB:ELTP
Though did have a problem with
industry = [[Medical/Drugs]]
Even though I added that, it didn't add it to Sectors, so not certain how someone would locate it by browsing through Sectors.
ELTP ready for their infobox badge :)

Thanks, I should be OK now, I just didn't know how to get started.
Don't be hard on yourself :) Let me know if you need more help. I can continue to add generic information if you're uncomfortable. I'm sure you will want to enhance some of the paragraphs which are there now. I tried to put in some special formatting on some of what I put on there, such as ref tags. I even left off a board member if you wanted to click on the "Executive" Edit button and adding Robert Dahl.
by starting with
===Board Member===
:'''Robert Dahl'''
::About Robert
and maybe changing
===Board Member===
for Paul to
===Investor Relations Director===
Thanks a bunch, I was clueless.
I have applied the template. Someone will add the info box to the right. I haven't figured out how to apply the infobox template.
I did also start filling in some of the data from the otcmarkey documents.
http://wiki.advfn.com/en/Ideal_Financial_Solutions
I would strongly suggest just using the "Edit" buttons to the right. The Edit button makes global changes.
Keep in mind these simple formatting commands
'''text''' makes something bold
;Starts a block
:Indent 1
::Indent 2
===text=== has a huge impact to things, but for example I added examples for CEO, but I'm sure there is other executive and board members which need to be added.
I have never done a wiki page before and would be grateful if you would apply your template to the IFSL wiki page, thank you so much.
Thank you Shelly!!
Hello all Wiki readers and soon to be Wiki editors.
I have volunteered to offer assistance to anyone who wishes to work their wiki pages. I too have basically began down the road of wiki editing. I welcome the challenge of tripping down the path with you.
I just need to know, how you would like me to help you? I'm willing to help solve your problems, offer feedback and constructive criticism. I welcome constructive criticism on my current projects.
These are examples of the projects I have been working on
http://wiki.advfn.com/en/USOTC:GRDO
http://wiki.advfn.com/en/USOTC:EGOC
If you do not know how to start, I will gladly apply a template to your wiki site so you can start from a framework.
Also, I'm a huge fan of the wiki philosophy. I understand the desire to "pump" the company's position, I would urge hesitation. Wiki is meant to be unbiased. Like the old motto "State the Facts and Only the Facts". Once you start adding forward looking information, it can diminish the value of your page.
The work you do will offer a huge impact to the companies. It will allow enhanced Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It will also give credit to being a member if advfn by drawing more attention as a stock research and collaborative group.
Welcome to the new Assistant Mod! Thanks for going in - it looks like you've got the most experience so far and have made some really nice pages. :)
I copied one from another wiki page and changed the content. Also added a Category for Alternative/Green. It can have more than one category, I think. Let me know if there's another and I'll try.
I'm not certain how to properly apply the "Template:Infobox company" to http://wiki.advfn.com/en/USOTC:EGOC on the forums it's considered Oil/Gas/Natural Energy Production though in reality they are developing Green alternatives for exhaust systems. I would appreciate some assistance in developing the info box. I have a loaded logo on the page down in the "Additional Information" section.
Thank you
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll work on it Sunday through Tuesday.
No. I just see ADVFN Wiki as a forum where a lot of incorrect items could be posted about a particular stock.
But good luck with it.
Thank you Dave for fixing the the logo on the GRDO page. I started to look around more and just figured out the "view/diff" edit histories, etc.. And saw you added it from the upload.
Very Cool!
Lol :) I didn't realize that was what the blue box meant around the links.
Also, I see you mentioned a template, not certain where/how to apply that to the next company wiki I work on.
I did find it a little annoying at first to set up the categories, however, it made editing a lot easier down the line. Much easier to hit the edit on the right than the "whole" page at the top.
Very nice. I added a canned template to the top.
You might want to eliminate the leading spaces on some of the lines, since that tells the wiki to not use formatting. If you want to indent start the line with one or more colons.
Thank you very much, though the cheatsheet made the job a lot easier :)
http://wiki.advfn.com/en/Help:CheatSheet
I strongly suggest printing the sheet out, it helps a lot!!!
You did a great job on that page. Lots of good information. I like the way your contents are set up.
http://wiki.advfn.com/en/Guard_Dog
I have never written wiki before, I'm a huge fan of wiki :) I'm excited for the potential SEO this will bring, not only to the board (ihub) but to the individual companies. I did create this page, and hopefully more follow suit.
Wow - nice page! Did you create this? Did you have wiki experience prior?
Ummmm, that's a link to a different site...
Generic's point as I understand it was that there should be a pre-emptive ban to this IP address based on his actions on other sites...
That IP address did not come from ADVFN or iHub.
It appears that you want to lament your appropriately removed posts and maybe feel that this public forum will garner you empathy, sympathy or simply a very public place to rag on iHub.
That's not the purpose of this board.
Sorry but if that is the case how do you allow IP addresses to be posted here.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=67856534
You are really treading on dangerous waters imo.
On most stock boards that I frequent your credibility of being the final arbiter has already been blown.
I've had countless posts removed on the Wamu and JPM board that were deemed off topic. Some I actually bothered to dispute.
I see no purpose in a wiki site hosted by Ihub where they get the final say again.
Good luck with the site.
Lol - the full quote is:
No, I didn't "claim" anything of the sort:
Below is a link to wikimedia and supports ADVFN's comment of "The WikiMedia platform is designed to show the IP address in lieu of username for edits by anonymous users."
http://www.wikimedia.org/
However, this is the comment specifically about the ADVFN wiki:
"The ADVFN wiki does not allow anonymous editing. So, the answer is no IP addresses."
By us?
As with wikipedia, all info must be cited from a linked source (an annual report for instance), if not it will end up being removed, by us
Enough said. Good luck in the not so noble experiment. It's already sad that your stock boards suffer from arbitrary deletions. This just compounds the problem.
Thanks you answered my question.
The WikiMedia platform is designed to show the IP address in lieu of username for edits by anonymous users. The ADVFN wiki does not allow anonymous editing. So, the answer is no IP addresses.
So what is it since you are not very clear. You claim the the Ip address will be shown then you claim it won't.
Excellent! Thanks for all you guys do to make this the premier destination for active traders and investors!
A quote from ADVFN in the iBox...
Hi,
How is it administered regarding false information...etc.
thanks....
Sounds good - thanks for sharing anything you learn here. :)
no i havent worked with a wiki before, and im your perfect test subject for that statistic because of it. i will let you know as i go through it. i will likely start setting up at least MMRF and some others tonight to tomorrow.
but overall i think its brilliant and innovative and out of the box. props to the team over there.
I think so, too. :)
Have you set any boards up yet? It looks pretty simple to me but I've worked with wikis before. I'm interested to hear how the ramp up time is for people who aren't familiar with a wiki.
