To most quickly and easily see how codes are done, just log in and hit the enter tab.

There are six different headers codes, ranging from largest to smallest. You'll note above that these all put subcategories into the table of contents and have specific indents.

= Header 1 = (code "=" on each side of the text --> "=" Header 1 "=") == Header 2 == (code "==" on each side of the text) === Header 3 === (code "===" on each side of the text) ==== Header 4 ==== (code "====" on each side of the text) ===== Header 5 ===== (code "=====" on each side of the text) ====== Header 6 ====== (code "======" on each side of the text)

If you want a header-like aspect, or are looking to bold a line a semi-colon ";" does the trick. You can see in the TOC that it's the same size as a header 5 (standard text), but doesn't put an entry into the TOC...very handy when you want category headers without a huge TOC. The first two headers also have the auto-horizontal line, as you can see.

Header 1

Header 2

Header 3

Header 4

Header 5

Header 6

Indents are handed using colons. Simply think of a colon as a tab (only works at the beginning on a line) 0 colons

1 colon

2 colons

3 colons

4 colons

etc

Note that if you use a colon and a semi-colon in the same line, the colon has to come first

semi-colon first

colon-first

For lists, just use asterisks "*"

• A

Exterior wiki links are handled using single brackets, with a space between the address and the link text: The Amazon Basin Website

If you want to do a similar thing as a footnote, just exclude any link text: [1]

Wiki links are handled with double brackets, linking to the page itself: Main Page WoW

If you want to change the link text, you include a vertical bar "|" and the text link: Basin World of Warcraft

For creating a new page, the easiest way is to simply create the link in an existing page (it will show up as red), and then click the link to be taken directly to the edit page. You also know if it shows up as blue that the page exists.
