Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Help desk/Archive 4 (section)

== Should I create a new article or add a section? ==

I'm a new user (signed up yesterday) and I'm writing either a new article or a fairly large addition to an already existing article.  I am currently attempting to code my own [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] utilizing [[Reverse Polish notation]] as the final structure of the compiled code.  My [[Tokenize|tokenizer]] converts [[Infix notation|Infix expressions]] to Reverse Polish expressions for its math evaluation, and eventually for everything else.  I'd like to add my knowledge of this process to the Wikipedia, however don't know the best way to do so.  Either I could make it a section in [[Infix notation]]/[[Reverse Polish notation]] or I could create a new article and provide links between them. What do you think?  Also, since its rather a complex topic (took me a couple days to figure out all the details and how '''exactly''' it will work), for comprehension it seems better to present in a tutorial form rather than a reference data type of form.  Are things like tutorials okay (like how to.. guides etc)?

BTW, what about a tutorial wiki? hmmm :D


:I won't pretend to understand your first paragraph, but you might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Tutorial]]. Best, [[User:Meelar|[[User:Meelar|Meelar]] [[User talk:Meelar|(talk)]]]] 13:05, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:See [[Wikipedia:How-to]]. Also there is [[Wikibooks]].--[[User:Patrick|Patrick]] 15:57, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:Do not worry too much about whether it should be separate or not, merging or splitting can always be done later.--[[User:Patrick|Patrick]] 16:07, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Okay, I'm just going to add it to the rpn article.  Thanks for the links. [[User:66.248.102.68|66.248.102.68]] 20:13, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
