Help:Wikitext quick reference

Wikitext markup -- making your page look the way you want


 * You can see some more detailed examples at Help:Wiki markup examples.
 * If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the    :Sandbox.

Basic text formatting
For a list of HTML tags that are allowed, see HTML in wikitext. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.

Just show what I typed
A few different kinds of formatting will tell the Wiki to display things as you typed them.

Images, tables, video, and sounds
This is a very quick introduction (please do not forget to upload your files). For more information, see:
 * Images and sound files for help with media files
 * w:Help:Extended image syntax for how to arrange images on the page
 * Help:Table for how to create a table

Templates
Templates are segments of Wiki markup that are meant to be copied automatically ("transcluded") into a page. You add them by putting the template's name in.

Some templates take parameters, as well, which you separate with the pipe character.
