    Hi Profo Rubens Almeida,<br>
    <br>
    You can use the literature or the encyclopedia sections for the
    Libras Wikipedia on Incubator.  Either is fine.<br>
    <br>
    You would copy the Formal SignWriting in ASCII (FSW) from SignPuddle
    and paste it into the Wikipedia.  At the bottom of the entry in
    SignPuddle, click the FSW link in the line that says "SignText data:
    FSW or SWU".<br>
    <br>
    Regards,<br>
    -Steve<br>

            <div>Hi Profo Rubens Almeida, and Steve -</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Thank you for this question about how to use the
              Encyclopedia section in SignPuddle…</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>One of the reasons there is little explanation on how
              to use the encyclopedia section in SignPuddle is because
              all of us were learning what was needed. The Wikipedias in
              written sign languages was a “grand experiment” and it
              lead us in several different directions…</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>For example, take a look at this beautiful article
              written in LIBRAS (see link below). Did you write this,
              Rubens? Whoever did write it, it is wonderful and thank
              you! But how was it composed? Did the writer use
              SignPuddle and then transfer the article into the
              Wikipedia site? Or did the author use the Rand Keyboard? I
              am curious to know myself… So I believe the encyclopedia
              section is a collection of signs people needed for writing
              articles, without too much consistency…but nonetheless
              articles are written and that is what matters…</div>

                    The dictionary is for single sign entries.  They may
                    have a sign text definition.<br>
                    <br>
                    The encyclopedia is for extended texts.  The sign
                    entry, if there is one, would be the entry title. 
                    In theory, the encyclopedia is a place to prepare
                    texts for the sign language wikipedias on
                    the Wikimedia Incubator.<br>

                        I'm curious to understand what I can create in
                        SignPuddle Brasil's encyclopedia directory. I
                        have always used dictionary directories and the

                        signs and texts written in Libras. So I would
                        like to know what is the difference between the
                        dictionary and the encyclopedia. Even on page
                        13 of the Help Manuals, each directory except
                        the encyclopedia is explained. I accessed the
                        encyclopedia and realized that there are few

                        the United States as well, and with
