Overview[edit]

Each book has its own Wikipedia page, which contains a Contents list of the articles included in it together with formatting metadata such as Chapter headings. You can create a book as a sub-page in your own user space, or as a community book in the Book: namespace. The Book Creator tool automates much of the book design work, although experienced editors can still code up the book design by hand.

Once completed, a book can be uploaded to the independent company PediaPress, where print-on-demand copies can be ordered. Books may also be retrieved by other independent publishing tools such as MediaWiki2LaTeX. It used to be possible to build an e-book on Wikipedia for immediate download, but this service is no longer available.

For information and help on Wikipedia books in general, see Help:Books (general tips) and WikiProject Wikipedia-Books (questions and assistance).

Searching for books[edit]

You can look for books either by browsing the book categories or by searching for a title or topic.

Book categories[edit]

Wikipedia books are automatically categorised by location.

• Category:User namespace book pages lists all current user books maintained on user pages.

Search tool[edit]

The following code:

{{#tag:inputbox| type=fulltext prefix=Book: width=40 break=no searchbuttonlabel=Search }}

creates a search box which will return a list of book titles.
