Help:Introduction to WikiText

In Wikis, proper markup of text plays an important role; It is not merely cosmetic. Headings are used to generate Tables of Contents, and links within the wiki, and links to external sites are diffent.

Organisation

An article in MediaWiki is analogous to a webpage. Articles may belong in one more categories. Categories, in turn, maybe subcategories themselves. Within an article, sections are distinguished be headings:

= Heading One =
== Heading Two ==
=== Heading Three ===
until
====== Heading Six ===

For example, the article about Carburettors has the following sections:

• Stock Carbys
• Aftermarket
  • Fitting aftermarket carburettors
• See Also

This would be marked up as:

= Stock =
= Aftermarket =
== Fitting aftermarket caburettors ==
= See Also
