Compared to HTML, editing MediaWiki content rather easy. Below, one can learn the syntax of wiki markup.

Formatting

Bold and italics

Bold and italics are added by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes ('):

  • ''italics'' is rendered as italics (2 apostrophes on both sides)
  • '''bold''' is rendered as bold (3 apostrophes on both sides)
  • '''''bolded italics''''' is rendered as bolded italics (2+3=5 apostrophes on both sides)
you can also nest them:
  • ''This '''is''' italics!'' is rendered as This is italics!
and
  • '''This ''is'' bolded!''' is rendered as This is bolded!

Headings and subheadings

Headings and subheadings are an easy way to improve the organization of an discussion. If you can see two or more distinct topics being discussed, you can break up your article by inserting a heading for each section. This will cause the displayed page to provide links to individual sections for ease of editting.

Headings can be created like this:

  • ==Top level heading== (2 equals signs)
  • ===Subheading=== (3 equals signs)
  • ====Another level down==== (4 equals signs)
  • =====Lowest level===== (5 equals signs)

see Headings for a view of they look.

If the article has at least three headings, a table of contents (TOC) will automatically be generated.

Indenting

To indent text, place a colon (:) at the beginning of the line.

This line has been indented.

To indent more add another colon:

This is indented.
This is indented more.
Even more!
Now I am being silly.
Enough already!


Bullets and numbering

The syntax allows for numbered and unnumbered lists.

Bullets

Bullets are added by placing a asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line.

  • This
  • is
  • a
  • bulleted
  • list!

Numbering

Numbers are added using the number sign or hash symbol (#) at the beginning of the line.

  1. This
  2. is
  3. a
  4. numbered
  5. list!

Nesting of lists

numbered and unnumbered lists can be nested. The nested part is automatically indented.

  1. This
  2. numbered
    1. list
  3. includes
    • a
      • bulleted
    • list
  4. inside
    1. of
      1. it.

Links

Besides actual content, links are the most important part of any wiki. What a cute site you have here. I can tell that you have put a lot of time and work into it. Great job!

External linking

  • to link to an external webpage just type in the full url: http://www.google.com/ will display the url typed as a hyperlink like so http://www.google.com/
  • In order to link to an external source using an text other than the url the following method is used:
  1. Enclose the url in single square brackets [ and ]
  2. Between the end of the url and the closing bracket insert the alternate text seperated from the url by a single space.
  • Example: [http://www.yahoo.com/ Yahoo!] gives Yahoo!

Note on above: the symbol right after the links indicate that the links lead to an external site.
