[edit] Heading

What it looks like What you type
Level 1

Headings create editable sections and page table of contents links

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

Level 2

Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

Level 3

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

[edit] Link

You will often want to make clickable links to other pages.

What it looks like What you type

Here's a link to a page named Form. You can even say forms or forming and the link will show up correctly.

You can even say [[form]]s or [[form]]ing
and the link will show up correctly.

You can put formatting around a link. Example: About.

Example: ''[[About]]''.

The first letter of articles is automatically capitalized, so about goes to the same place as About. Capitalization matters after the first letter.

[[The quick brown fox]] is a page that doesn't exist
yet. You could create it by clicking on the link.

You can link to a page section by its title:

If multiple sections have the same title, add a number. #Example section 3 goes to the third section named "Example section".

You can link to a page section by its title:

*[[Somepage#Example section]].

If multiple sections have the same title, add
a number. [[#Example section 3]] goes to the
third section named "Example section".

zero or more of the following options may be declared in any order: frame | left | center | right | <width>px | thumb | border | some caption (anything not matching an option is used as alt/hover text and, with frame option, also as a caption which can contain wiki markup such as links)

[edit] Advanced

Don't use advanced wiki markup unless you need it; keep pages easy to edit.

[edit] var

  • {{PAGENAME}} page name -- gives you the page name.
  • {{NAMESPACE}} namespace -- gives you the page's namespace.

[edit] toggle

  • __NOTOC__ turns off the page's table of contents
  • __NOEDITSECTION__ removes a page's section header Edit links

[edit] template

  • {{hi|Rich}} inserts Template hi with Rich as parameter 1. The hi template can insert that parameter with {{{1}}}. Example bar.
  • {{hii|Jennifer|bicycle|new}} inserts Template hi with Jennifer as parameter 1, bicycle as parameter 2 and new as parameter 3... Example bar.

[edit] CSS

Cascading Style Sheet declarations can be added to the MediaWiki:Monobook.css page if needed. Explain your need on its talk page if you do so. Generally it is best to use the default style of the site.

See Talk:Form/Card medium#css for some style classes available for displaying and printing similar cards. If you use those say so there
