Wiki mark-up is a tad different than HTML, BBC, or other methods. As such, it is important to have a short guide on its basics.

'''Note:''' This is primarily meant to be used as a primer and a reference document. If you want to learn more, see the section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki].

==Commonly Used Markup==

To italicize text, put ''two'' apostrophes
before and after the text.

To make text appear bold, put '''three'''
apostrophes''' before and after the text.

To apply both effects, use '''''five''''',
count 'em '''''five'''', apostrophes.

==Section Headings==
Section headings are very useful, allowing
you to split up and organize pages.

===Subsections===
You can even make subheadings and delve
into more detail on one topic. Just use
an additional equal sign on both sides
of the topic title.

====Sub-subsections====
...and so on and so forth.

Be sure not to use a single equal sign;
those aren't meant to be used in
articles.

If you want to create a link, but want the
link text to be different than the article
that it links to, you would do something
like [[MegaZeux|this]]! Just put the name
of the article, a pipe, and what you want
it to say on the page in double-square brackets.
