Here you'll learn the basics of article formatting.

How to make a link

Change how your article looks through the use of formatting.
  • To make a link to another article, simply surround the target word with square brackets [[like this]].
    • If that page exists on the wiki you are editing on, the link will be blue. If it's not been created yet the link will be red.
  • Here you can find more advanced informations about making links.

Italic and bold text

Single quotes, such as ', are used to create both italic and bold text.

  • To italicize a word, or words, simply use two single quotes like ' 'this' ', which produces this.
  • To bold a word, or words, simply use three single quotes like ' ' 'this' ' ', which produces this.
  • Likewise, through formatting text can be made both italic and bold by using five single quotes like ' ' ' ' 'this' ' ' ' ', which produces this.

How to create headings

Headings are made with equals signs, and are generally used in articles to separate different sections.

  • A top level heading is made like this:

==two equals signs==

  • Subheadings are made by using:

===three or more equals signs===

  • Simply put, the more equals signs you use, the smaller your headings are going to be.
