Basic formatting
- For more advanced formatting help see m:MediaWiki User's Guide: Editing overview.
For italics enclose in two single quotes:
''italic words'' |
italic words |
For bold enclose in three single quotes:
'''bold words''' |
bold words |
For bulleted lists, add an asterisk * at the beginning of each line:
*Bullet one *Bullet two *Bullet three |
|
For a numbered list, add a # at the beginning of each line:
#Item one #Item two #Item three |
|
To make a link within the wiki (or to certain other wikis such as Wikipedia), enclose it in double quotes. Use a pipe to link to a different page than what is displayed.
* [[Esperanto]] * [[User:Muke]] * [[User:Muke|Muke]] * [[Wikipedia:Lingua Franca Nova]] |
(Red links are to nonexistent pages, blue links are to pages on other wikis.) |
To make a link to a website, enclose it in single quotes. It will be automatically numbered. To title a link instead, add the title after a space.
* [http://www.google.com] * [http://www.google.com Google] |
Tables
Table formatting:
- {| begins a table
- |} ends it.
- Standard cells begin with |
- heading cells with !
- format options go at the beginning of the cell, separated by |
- |- starts a new row
Example table:
{| border=1
! heading cell
|align=center| centered entry
| third column
|-
! second row heading
| entry two, noncentered
| third column, second row
|}
It looks like this:
| heading cell | centered entry | third column |
|---|---|---|
| second row heading | entry two, noncentered | third column, second row |
The wiki format can also be entered with a whole row at once, allowing for example easy interlinears:
{|
! nemšé || javmb || morjé-'f
|-
| part || deep || sea-GEN
|}
displaying:
| nemšé | javmb | morjé-'f |
|---|---|---|
| part | deep | sea-GEN |
The double pipes || delimit cells or headings (whether it will be one or the other inherits from the first cell on the line; start a new line to change types).
Interwiki links
You can make links to other wikis just like you make links to pages on this wiki. To make a link to another wiki, prefix the destination with the Wiki's keyword and a colon (:).
Useful prefixes
- Link to Wikipedia with the prefix Wikipedia: (example: Wikipedia:Solresol)
- Link to Ill Bethisad Wiki with the prefix IBWiki: (example: IBWiki:Brithenig)
- Link to ConlangWiki with the prefix ConlangWiki: (example: ConlangWiki:Khangathyagon)
(To suggest a new wiki to link to, contact Muke.)
