Viral post using wiki page. Wiki markup on VKontakte

We touched upon the issue of attracting subscribers to the public through viral posts designed using wiki - markup, the so-called wiki - pages.

Wiki- This special language, which supports hyperlinks, allows you to create and link sites using only a web browser. For example, the Wikipedia website was created on the basis of this technology. The important thing is what to implement redirection With the help of this technology, anyone can, even those who do not know this language.

We are interested in two possibilities:

• Redirection within a site from one page to another using viral posts designed to motivate people to subscribe to your public page
• Redirection from a third-party site to your page (in case of advertising on promoted public pages)

Let's figure out how to create such a wiki page.

To work with wiki markup, we need a group, since such a page can only be created in a group, and after its creation can be transferred to a public page. The process of creating a group is similar to . To do this, go to the “My Groups” tab and click “Create a community”.

In the window that opens, select “Group”. You can use any name, mostly these groups are called “Draft...”. Confirm by clicking on the “Create Community” button.

In the next window you need to connect the “Materials” section. All other sections will not interest us, so they don’t need to be included. Finally, click “Save”. After this we go to the main page of the newly created group. In the future we will work with the “Latest News” section. When you hover your cursor over the name of this section, the “Edit” button appears, and click on it.

After clicking, we go to a kind of editor, where we will create a wiki page. First of all, you need to switch the editor to wiki markup mode, for which we click on the icon in the upper right corner. If the editor is in the mode we need, then when you hover the cursor over the icon, a hint “Visual editing mode” appears. If this does not happen, then the editor is not yet in wiki markup mode.

Essentially, wiki markup is a kind of code with which you can create interactive elements in groups and public pages. Our goal is to create a viral post ending page to attract followers. From a viral post, we highlight an excerpt at the beginning and cut it off at an intriguing place. It will be visible part, and we will hide all the material with a wiki page. To create it in the editor, open the rectangular brackets twice and close them, you should get the following: . Inside the brackets, we enter the text that will encourage our visitors to gain access to all the material by subscribing and click “Save page.”

If everything is done correctly, then by clicking on “View” or “Return to page” we go to the created wiki - a page where the entered text should take the form of a link. After clicking on the text link, we go to the page itself, where we will fill it with the main material and transfer it to the public.

To transfer a page to public in address bar you need to replace the identifier of this page (the numbers before the & sign highlighted in the figure) with the public identifier.

To get the public ID (if you gave it short name) click on any of the pictures published on it and in the address bar we can copy it (numbers between photo- and _).

We copy the numbers from the public and paste them instead of the numbers on the wiki page and immediately press the “Enter” key. After this, the name of the public should appear at the top of the page instead of the name “Draft...”. This means that everything has been done correctly and our wiki page has been moved to public.

Now click on “Fill with content”, the familiar editor opens, into which we insert the entire article. Here you can also add photos and multimedia files. After that, go to “Page Access” and in the access section mark “All users”, and in the editing section – “Only group managers” and click “Save changes”.

After saving the page, click “Return to Page” and copy the link to it in the address bar. This link must be saved in any text file(notepad, Word).

Now let's move on to publishing our viral post. we have already discussed in previous articles. The only difference is in this case The idea is that we first publish the announcement, and after adding the photo we write that the continuation or answer (depending on the type of post) is under the photo, and insert the previously saved link. We wait for the page to load and remove the link. Now click “Send” and pin the post to the top of our public page. We looked at how a post is secured in one of the previous articles.

Now you can organize advertising campaign by publishing an announcement for a post in “promoted” public pages. We looked at creating wiki - pages. Thus, you can create a huge number of pages and attract more and more subscribers, intriguing them with interesting material.

Want a place to post work samples, blog, and advertise your services? Usually a website is created for these purposes. But there is another, simpler way out - a VKontakte group with wiki markup. In this article I will explain how to create one.

Practice and more practice! I will describe the process using an example real group- Futuristic copywriting.

I'm working with a new VKontakte design. The old one will soon outlive its usefulness - so I won’t consider it. In any case, the process is not much different.

The first thing you should do is create a new group:

• Open the "Groups" section.
• Click on the “Create Community” button.

Creating a new community

• Enter a title. Specify any - it can be changed at any time as many times as you like.
• Now select the type of community: group or public page. The difference is described above.

Group or public page?

• Click "Create a Community".
• Here you can change the specified name and select the page type (this can also be changed at any time).
• Don't forget to accept the Site Terms of Use.

Selecting the page type

• Click "Create Page".

Hurray, the community has been created!

Editing community information

Immediately after creation new group You will be taken to the “Edit Information” page. What's here:

• Name. I think there is no need to explain. The only required field.
• Community Description. Write a few words about yourself and your group. There is no point in writing a lot - no one will read it.

All fields except the title can be left blank

More settings

When you are finished with the settings, click “Save”.

Group created

Now you can upload the main image. Click on "Upload Photo" on the right.

Let's load an image for the page

Specify the path to the image. Put your logo, photo or draw (order) something special there. Using a frame, select the area that will become the main picture of the community.

Select the desired area using a frame

Now select a small circular area that will become your group's thumbnail.

The size of the circle can also be changed

This is what we got. The page has become 35% more attractive!

Beauty!

Don't forget about status. You can also write something interesting there. For example, your slogan or contact information. Or an announcement that today is your day off.

This is where the preparatory work ends and the most difficult part begins - wiki markup.

How to find out group ID

A menu, a blog entry, a list with examples of work - we will create all this using wiki pages. VKontakte is a disgusting service that does not have tools for creating a new page. Instead, you will have to use scripts. Don't be alarmed, it's simple, although inconvenient.

For the script you will need to know your group ID. If you have not changed its address, then these are the numbers in the address bar that come after the word “club”. I have already changed it, so such a simple way to get the ID is not available to me.

Click on any post on the wall to open it. If there is nothing, write something. Anything.

Create any post and click on it

New data will appear in the address bar. What is in the middle between “wall-” and “_” (underscore) is your page ID. Save it somewhere.

My ID is 124301131

Creating a wiki page

Now you can use the script to create new pages with wiki markup.

http://vk.com/pages?oid=-124301131&p=Name

Copy this and paste it into your browser's address bar. Instead of my ID, enter yours. And instead of the word “Name” write the name page being created. You can use Russian, spaces, numbers. And then press Enter to follow the link and run the script.

Be careful! The name of the wiki page cannot be changed. If there are typos, you will have to create a new one.

Let's first make the main page. I called it "Menu".

Copy the script into the address bar

Click "Fill with content."

Open the page editor

This is where the page editor is located. But for now we don’t need him, but a link. Look at the address bar. You need everything before the words “?act=edit§ion=edit”.

Be sure to save the page ID and link to it

This is very important point. New page It is not yet attached anywhere and there are no links to it. If you close it, you will lose it.

I recommend creating a separate file that will store your group structure. Form it in the form “Title - link - Page ID”. The ID is "page-124301131_50771728". You will still need it.

Here, for example, is the structure of my “Overheard” group. Menu and 2 more pages. I also added a script here to create new pages. To make it easy to find.

Save all links and IDs in separate file so as not to lose

What to do if you only saved the page ID, but forgot about the links? Enter the address “https://vk.com/page-124301131_50771728” in the address bar. Naturally, substitute your page ID.

Pin a wiki page to a group

You have already created the main page itself. Now it needs to be secured at the very top of the community. To do this, copy the link to the page and paste it into a post on the wall. VKontakte will automatically create a link-button and attach it under the post.

Just copy the link to the page in the post

The button will remain even if you remove the text link

Upload an image. The maximum width of the image is 510 px. The maximum height is also 510 px. Within these values, you can do whatever you want. A 510x510 square is the largest banner you can make. This is true for any posts, not just pinned ones.

I made something like this

Click send. Now click on the three dots icon on the right top corner post. And click "Pin".

Now pin the post with a link

In the same way, you can make announcements of articles on your wiki blog. Just don't need to fasten them.

Refresh the page. Information about the group has disappeared. Instead, a post you created with a link and a picture appeared.

Click on the image to open the attached wiki page

If you click on the picture or the “View” button, the wiki page will open.

It's empty for now

We won't touch the main one for now. We don't have the rest of the pages yet. There is nothing to provide links to. Let's do other things first.

Layout of VKontakte wiki page

I will not describe all existing layout tags. Everything was written long ago before me. Eat official VKontakte group, dedicated to wiki markup. You can find anything in it. Everything is sorted there by topic - take it and apply it.

I will show you how to apply the knowledge from this group in practice. Let's create an "About Me" page. First, create it using a script, write down the ID and go to the editing page.

There are 2 modes on the editing page: normal and markup mode. For some reason, the regular one is mercilessly buggy - it constantly breaks links. And most of the functions are not available in it. That's why I try not to work in it. To switch to wiki markup mode, click on the icon<>top right.

Go to wiki markup mode

What should be on the About Me page? A little information, a list of advantages over other copywriters, perhaps a photograph. Let's do this.

First, write the text. Personally, it’s more convenient for me to write in my favorite one and then copy it into the VKontakte editor. Don't forget to click "Save Page" after each change.

Now let's add a photo. Click on the camera icon and specify the path to the image.

Click on the camera icon on the toolbar

Here is our photo

I want the text to wrap around the image, so I'll add a "left" parameter to it. And I don't want people to be able to open full version photos, so I added the “nolink” attribute. Read more about attributes in the group to which I provided a link above.

Add the parameters “nolink” and “left”

To see the result, go to normal mode via button<>.

Not very nice

Let's make the photo smaller. Just write it down required sizes in markup mode. I indicated values ​​that were half the original ones.

Specify the required dimensions in wiki markup mode

Now let's create a list. Highlight the desired line and click on the list icon.

This button puts a * tag, which creates a list item

The symbol “*” will appear in front of it. This is the list tag. You can set it manually or use the button on the toolbar. Check off the remaining items on the list.

Already more beautiful

Now you need to select the headings. The toolbar has buttons for designing headings H1-H3.

Use buttons or add tags manually

I will make “About Me” the first level heading. And the phrase before the list is of the third level.

Almost ready

Everything is almost fine, but the second title appears a little out of the picture. You need to add an empty line. In wiki markup mode this is done using the tag
.

Add an empty line

If you need to skip only 1 line -
not needed for this. It is used if you want to get 2 or more empty lines in a row.

Perhaps we can highlight it in bold individual words. Select the desired fragment and press the “B” button or use the Ctrl+B key combination.

The combination Ctrl+B also works

This is what happened in the end.

I think it's not bad

VKontakte portfolio design

Now we will create a convenient portfolio for clients. I see 2 ways:

• Create albums with screenshots and a list page with links to each of them.
• Create separate page for each work and a list page.

For example, I will arrange 2 works in a portfolio - each in its own way.

Portfolio album

To create an album, open the "Manage Community" menu.

Go to community settings

Here, check the box next to “Photo Albums”. Now you can create them. Save your changes.

Add a block with photo albums

On the community page, click on the “Add Photos” button and specify the path to the required files.

Let's add screenshots of our works to the album

Let's say I want to add an article to my portfolio about how to take screenshots of texts that don't fit on the screen. To do this, I take a screenshot of the article and cut it into small pieces in a graphics editor.

For what? Because otherwise the text on the image will be too small and impossible to read. Such a portfolio is of little use. And so I broke it into a bunch of separate fragments normal size and add it to a separate album on VKontakte.

I got 4 pieces of text and a miniature. Hover over any image and click the Move Photo icon.

Let's move the new images to new album

Create a new album.

Click "Add to New Album"

Give the album the same name as the article. To make it easy to find. You don't need a description. Also check the boxes next to “Only editors and administrators can add photos” and “Disable album commenting.” Click “Create Album and Transfer.”

Give the album a name and prevent other users from changing it

Transfer the remaining screenshots in the same way. Only now you don’t need to create a new album - it already exists.

Select an already created album from the list

This is what we ended up with.

Album with pieces of text

For subsequent albums there will be no such transfer hemorrhoids. Click on "Photo Albums".

Open your band's album list

Now click on the “Create Album” button in the upper right corner. Give it a name and upload a new batch of screenshots there using the “Add Photos” button.

Create an album for new text in your portfolio

That's it, now we have 2 albums containing screenshots of 2 articles. Enough, perhaps.

2 albums with screenshots

Create a Portfolio page and write down its ID. We will not post the works themselves on it - only titles, thumbnails and short descriptions.

Click on the “Add Photo” icon.

Add new picture to page

Click on “Select from Community Photos.” Open the desired album and select your thumbnail.

Find your thumbnail added to the album

In a new tab, open the album or the first screenshot in it. And copy his link (entirely). You need to insert it into the photo tag between the vertical line | and closing square brackets ]].

Insert a link between the symbols | And ]]

This way you will receive a thumbnail, when you click on it, the desired album or screenshot with the beginning of the text will open (depending on what you specify the link to).

Portfolio page

Well, everything is much simpler here. Create new wiki page and don't forget to write down her ID. Click on the “Add Photo” icon and upload a screenshot of your text, pre-cut into small pieces. Ideally, 1 image - 1 paragraph.

For what? Because VKontakte compresses images quite strongly. If you upload an entire screenshot and then stretch it to fill the entire page, the quality will be terrible. Small fragments will not suffer as much.

Now turn off wiki markup mode (if it was turned on).

Return to standard mode to see the result

Not bad, but it won't be enough. Click on the first picture. In the settings that open, set the width (left cell) to 607 px. This is the maximum image size allowed on the page. The height will change automatically.

Set the width of the image - 607 px

This is what happened. Enlarge all other pieces of text in the same way.

The first fragment became noticeably larger

This way you can insert text of any length onto a wiki page. The main thing is that it can be read with a width of 607 px.

Entire screenshot of text on the wiki page

Finally, we will need the IDs of the pages you recorded. Open your Portfolio page.

Upload a thumbnail to it (from the created album or from your computer). Now insert the page ID of the text between the closing square brackets ]] and the vertical bar |.

Copy page ID with text between characters | And ]]

Actually, that's all. Now, when you click on the thumbnail, the visitor will go to a page with text.

Our 2 thumbnail links

Making a list of works

Now let's make our portfolio more presentable and convenient. I will add a title, titles of works, small descriptions and links to the site where they are published. This is what happened.

Add some information about each job

Design of the “Services and Prices” page

We already have an “About Me” page and a beautiful portfolio. Perhaps it's time to show your clients the price tag. I think we will format it in the form of a table. Simple and clear. Create a new wiki page, save the ID - and let's go.

You can read in detail about all the tags that are needed when laying out a table

Wiki page on VKontakte is great way decorate your community by creating a beautifully designed menu. At first glance, this may seem difficult, especially for those who are hearing about such a function for the first time. But in fact, there is nothing complicated here, and after doing a few simple actions, you can also create such a page in your group.

1. First, you need to open access to materials in your group. To do this, go to “community management” and select “sections” there. In it you can find the “materials” subsection. Click on it to “open”. After you enable the materials, click on the “save” tab.

1. Next, appear above the wall of your group new section"fresh news". Below it you will see an “edit” tab. Click on it.

After this, you will be presented with settings for creating a Wiki page. We will consider the most common option - placing a link in the background of an image. To do this, you need to insert a picture using the “camera” icon located at the top of the settings.

1. Next, click on the uploaded photo to paste the link below it. After clicking, a window will appear in which you can enter a link to another group, or a hashtag to one of the sections in your community. If desired, you can give a name to your created page. Once you paste the link, click on the “save” tab.

1. After that, you can go to your group and see what you got. Now, by clicking on the picture, you will follow the link that you inserted in the settings. You can also insert multiple links when creating a Wiki page.

Today, such group design is very important for promoting communities. This is especially true for groups that are used as an online store. Such a menu will give status and prestige to your business.

Of course, additional skills are required to perform complex group menu layout. In order to change colors, fonts, and insert emoticons, you need to know certain codes. Therefore, nowadays it is much easier to order such services from designers. Today there are many specialists who perform paid design of group menus.

Wiki is a markup, in the global sense, that is tags that are used to format text on websites and allow easier access to the capabilities of the HTML language.

Wiki - markup and SMM

Very important role The design of posts plays a role in managing groups, we have already talked about this in this article.

But among other things, your texts should be readable, this is especially true for companies with blogs or, for example, for my group on VK.

Wiki - markup helps to design: group menu, internal pages, internal links (to video, audio, group albums) and external links from a group (to other groups, a site, an article or a person) tables, design topics, lists, headings, subheadings, text formatting, a tag to ignore part of the markup code.

In other words, the VKontakte Wiki page is an alternative to web pages based on the rules of wiki markup. At help wiki-VKontakte pages you can create large articles with different text formatting ( bold type, underlining, headings, etc.), add illustrations and videos to them, create full-fledged landing pages (landing pages), navigation menus for communities and much more.

How to create a wiki page on VKontakte?

In order to create a wiki page for your community, you will need to bring the link template into the proper form:

vk.com/pages?oid=-XXX&p=Page-name
where: XXX is the community ID, and Page-Title is the title of the future wiki page.

How to find out the community ID?

• While on home page communities, click on the link with the date and time of publication of any entry to go to the mode of viewing an individual publication;
• A link like vk.com/community_address?w=wall-XXX_YYY will appear in the browser's address bar, where XXX is the ID of the desired community.

Paste the created link into the search engine, as shown in the screenshot.

When you click on the link, the interface for creating and filling a new wiki page will open.

After creating a wiki page, do not forget to configure access rights using the “Page Access” item in the lower right corner of the interface.

Wiki pages can be viewed and edited:

• for everyone;
• only to community members (in the case of private groups);
• only to editors and community administrators;

Access settings for a wiki page are set by community managers during the process of creating or editing it.

How to attach a Wiki page to a post?

To attach a wiki page to a post, copy the link to it and paste it into the entry form when creating a post - the page will be automatically attached and will be available after it is published. In addition, if you add an illustration to a post, it will become clickable: when you click on it, the user will open a wiki page, rather than a larger version of the image.

Wiki pages

Usually quite short posts are published on VK. A little text, photos, a couple of videos. And this format works because it corresponds to the way the majority of users consume.

The answer is wiki posts. Not many administrators know about this format. And, as my practice shows, if the material is really high-quality, the format with a wiki page allows you to get a very good response.

Here is one of the latest examples.

A typical post on my blog gets 100-200 likes and 30-40 shares. And here...

How to create wiki pages

http://vk.com/pages?oid=-XXX&p=Page_Name

where XXX is the ID of your public, and “Page_name” is any word or sentence that will be used to name your wiki page. Please note that it will be impossible to edit the page title later! Therefore, think over the name in advance so that you don’t have to create a new one later.

To find out the ID of your public, go to “Page Statistics”. An address like this will open in your address bar:

http://vk.com/stats?gid=68730272 - the last digits in the address “68730272” are the public ID.

What is a Wiki page

Wiki page is a page created or designed using wiki markup. This term was first proclaimed by Ward Cunningham in 1995. At that time, Internet users learned about Wikipedia. "Wiki" is translated from Hawaiian as "quick".

Wiki page- This is an excellent alternative to regular VKontakte posts. If when creating advertising post you need to enter links to various information, which is distributed across blocks in discussions, then on the wiki page it looks different. A Wiki page differs from a post in that a fairly large amount of material can be combined in one page, but it will be organized, which will make its research more convenient and faster. Usually quite small posts are created on VK. Some text content, photographs, 1-2 videos. Despite the fact that this format works well because it meets the conditions and method of consumption of the majority of users, the presentation of information is being actively improved and makes it easier for users to understand.

What is Wiki - markup

Wiki markupVKontakte is a specialized language that was created for the design of entertaining, educational, informational, and selling Web pages of the VK social network. Wiki is a very powerful and valuable markup language that allows you to connect VKontakte functionality with additional features and use it to uniqueize and promote groups, pages and publics.

Wiki markup makes it possible to quickly create and embed the code of any page of a group, community or public, individually designed elements, including:

• menu - buttons;
• links in the form of pictures;
• spoilers;
• various anchors;
• games in mini versions.

A wiki markup spoiler is the text hidden behind a button with a colored inscription. After pressing the button, the text becomes open.

Wiki markup on VKontakte is comparable to HTML. But its difference lies in its lightweight text markup language. The wiki can be mastered within a week due to its graphical interface.

This markup will expand the possibilities, and significantly, in the administration of the group.

Once you gain the skills to use wiki markup, you will be able to create virtual magazines, stores, and even own blogs and websites.

Also, a great advantage of wiki markup is that all changes ever made to a group page are saved on VK servers, and at any time it is possible to return to the original design options.

How to create a wiki page on VKontakte

Creating a VKontakte wiki page is a rather important moment, which requires adherence to the plan. The quality of promotion of your community depends on the correct implementation of all necessary actions. So, next we will consider the sequence of all the actions that need to be performed to create a high-quality page.

You can find out the id like this: click on the title of the posts in the feed, where the number of messages located on the wall is indicated, this will open a separate community wall, the numbers that open are the id, you can also find out the ID in the community statistics or in the browser line by pasting the copied link .
4. In the “Page_Name” space, insert the real name of your page. Please note the following points:
   1. Where the page title, spaces should be replaced with underscores_

   3. After these steps, you need to check once again whether the public id is entered correctly and whether there is an underscore _ in place of the spaces. Only after this can you press Enter.

Your Wiki page is now ready. Now go to the “Fill with content” section, or to the “Editing” section. Now you know how to create a VKontakte Wiki page - start turning your page into an exclusive masterpiece.

If you are interested not only in a beautifully designed group, but also in promoting the group itself, find out how to get subscribers to a VKontakte group. If your photos or posts are not in demand among friends or subscribers, getting likes is perhaps the best way to fix this.

How to create a wiki post on VKontakte

Wiki post is usually used in long articles, since wiki design makes reading more convenient and easy to understand. The text is located in the center, and on the sides there are semi-darkened VKontakte interface elements. The reader concentrates on the article and is not distracted by additional excesses, which is what both the group leader and the user need. To create a quality wiki style post you will need the following elements:

1. Create a wiki page as described earlier. Please note that the page title is the title of your post. It is the title that is indexed by search engines first.

Once created, you can start writing text content. When writing an article or post, you must follow standard rules. Uniqueness should be high, the text should be readable and interesting, and the absence of syntactic, lexical, stylistic and grammatical errors is also welcome. All these points are very conducive to attracting readers.

2. Create an image. The picture is the first thing your VK subscribers will pay attention to, which means that you should pay great attention to creating a high-quality image. Knowing how to correctly create a wiki post in contact, you can choose suitable option creating an image.

Let's look at the most popular image options provided for wiki posts:

1. Image. The easiest option is to attach a photo. But this is somehow too common and simple and does not attract the current subscriber enough.
2. Text combined with background. Text interspersed with the title of the article is a simple but attractive format where the emphasis rests on the title. If desired, you can attach an icon.
3. Image with text. IN this format text can be superimposed on top of an image, which will immediately influence emotions and affect figurative perception.
4. 50/50. The text takes up half the space, and the rest is taken up by the image. This type of image in a wiki post allows you to touch on imaginative thinking and concentrate on the title. Don’t forget that VKontakte wiki markup will be embedded in all pictures.

It is worth noting that a high-quality image should contain the following aspects: a title, a logo, an image or a bright background. It is also advisable to implement a community address and an “important” button or any other call to action.

You can use any editor to create an image. It is important to know that used images have little appeal to the modern reader. If your reputation is important to you, take the time to create a unique image.

Creating tables using a wiki

The table is executed using a specific set of symbols, the arrangement of which must have a certain sequence. Once created, table columns can be filled with any content.

A table that is created using Wiki markup can contain any number of rows. Attachments, columns, cells.

Name and sequence of symbols:

1. Start (|
2. Title |+
3. New line |-
4. Transparent cell |
5. Dark cell!
6. End |)

How to make a wiki menu on VKontakte

Wiki markup is a great helper for creating a menu in a VK group. How to make wiki markup was described earlier.

If the group implies a social direction, then it makes sense to create a text menu. Its advantage lies in its rather serious appearance. Entertainment and commercial groups have proven themselves well with graphic menu. The use of high-quality pictures in it will make it possible to draw the attention of visitors to what should be visible. Using this approach will also make the stay in the group quite enjoyable and relaxing.
