Basics

All the basic formatting, like bold, italics, and linking.

Bold: Wrap text in triple apostrophes, like this: '''Example'''

Example

Italic: Wrap text in double apostrophes (NOT quotation marks), like this: ''Example''

Example

Link to page: Wrap the title in double brackets, like this: [[Example]]

Example

More about linking is covered in the Linking section.

External link: Wrap the URL in brackets, like this: [http://editthis.info/insurgency/ Link Title]

Link Title

Include template: Wrap the template title (without the "Template:") in double curly brackets, like this: {{Example}}

Just an example template

Section header: Wrap the section title with two equal signs on each side, like this: ==Example==
For subsections, place three equal signs instead of two.
Articles will gain a table of contents when it has four or more sections.

List: To make a list, place a star (or a number sign for numbered lists) at the beginning of each list item. You can create sub-lists by place two stars/number signs before each item, and so on.
Bulleted list example:

Signing your posts

To sign your posts on a talk page, simply add ~~~~ at the end of your post. It is possible to create a custom signature; see Help:Preferences#User profile.

Pictures

You can place images right in the middle of the text using [[Image:Example.JPG]].

But use [[Image:Example.JPG|thumb|right|(caption)]] where (caption) is some text to be placed under it, so it doesn't mess up the page.
