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?<span></span></span></p>

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.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">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.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">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.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">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?<span></span></span></p>
