- Click 'Edit' (at top right) and copy the content and syntax.
- Return to this database page, click 'Edit', then locate or type the term you wish to define into the table.
- Highlight the term and press the CTRL (control) key + K, or click the Link button on the toolbar (at top middle).
- Add the prefix 'Glossary:' to the given page name, then click 'Done', thereby creating a new page with that name.
- Example: "Glossary: Afterlife"
- Save your change to the database by clicking 'Save changes..." at the top right of the page.
- Click on the newly created link and open your new page. Click create if necessary to begin editing.

Create a new definition for your question:
- Search through the JoS materials (main sites, forums, or Wiki) for source(s) for your definition.
- Once found, synthesize a concise definition, based upon the content of the article(s).
- Edit the page and fill in the information as instructed by the template, retaining the formatting of the text as structured by the template.
- If the format needs to be fixed, highlight the text and go the drop-down box at the top left of the toolbar, then select between 'paragraph', 'sub-heading 1', and so on, referencing the Glossary Template.
- Copy and paste the relevant content that supports your definition. Use [...] if you must break up parts of the article.
