Notes:
- ↑ Use of a heading created by single equal signs is discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.
- ↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
Paragraphs
MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.
HTML
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.
Links
You will often want to make clickable links to other pages.
