There are a lot of articles with non-English words in them, that could be hard to pronounce for one who is not familiar enough with Farsi or Arabic. Those name are transliterated only in the first line of the article, according to the [http://www.islamic-college.ac.uk/pdf/Transliteration-Guide.pdf transliteration method] of Encyclopaedia of Islam, published by Brill. | There are a lot of articles with non-English words in them, that could be hard to pronounce for one who is not familiar enough with Farsi or Arabic.

== Translation of Specialized Terms == | |||
{{Main|Wikishia:Glossary}} | |||
Using non-English sources to improve the articles in WikiShia, you might come to a specialized Islamic or Shi'a term. There is a [[Wikishia:Glossary|glossary]] in WikiShia you can use in this case. This glossary is written by other editors of WikiShia, so feel free to improve it by adding new terms and translations. | |||

Links between the articles are one of the most important of WikiShia, that make it a "wiki". Whenever you see a word or phrase in an article that a reader might need more information about, you can simply link that word or phrase to any other page in WikiShia. By using double brackets (i.e <nowiki>[[*]]</nowiki> ) around a word or phrase it would be linked to a page in [[WikiShia]] with a same title. | Links between the articles are one of the most important of WikiShia, that make it a "wiki".

There might be times when we need to link a word or phrase to a page with a different title. This could be done with pipelines within the code of the link. The first part within the brackets would be the link target, and the part after the pipeline would be the linked word or phrase in the text. | There might be times when we need to link a word or phrase to a page with a different title.
