<!--It is intended to be brief, or as an overview. Otherwise why we separate the materials into different pages? Thus it's best NOT to add new materials or expand here. Add more examples or expand in other areas like Wikitext examples. Thanks!--><br />
Here are the most frequently used types of wiki markup. If you need more help see [[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing]].<br />

You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2<br />
apostrophes on each side.<br />
<br />
3 apostrophes will embolden '''the text'''.<br />
<br />
5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize<br />
'''''the text'''''.<br />
<br />
(4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just ''''one left over''''.)<br />

You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:<br />
* Three tildes give your user name: [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])<br /><br />
* Four tildes give your user name plus date/time: [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
* Five tildes give the date/time alone: 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
''Headings'' organize your writing into sections.<br />
The Wiki software can automatically generate<br />
a [[Help:Section|table of contents]] from them.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Subsection</div><br />
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">A smaller subsection</div><br />
<br />
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.<br />
<br />
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.<br />

* ''Unordered [[Help:List|list]]s'' are easy to do:<br />
** Start every line with a star.<br />
*** More stars indicate a deeper level.<br />
* Previous item continues.<br />
** A new line<br />
* in a list<br />
marks the end of the list.<br />
*Of course you can start again.<br />

: A colon (:) indents a line or paragraph.<br />
A newline starts a new paragraph. <br><br />
Often used for discussion on [[talk pages]].<br />
: We use 1 colon to indent once.<br />
:: We use 2 colons to indent twice.<br />
::: 3 colons to indent 3 times, and so on.<br />

You can link to a page section by placing a "#" before its title:<br />
<br />
* [[Help:Contents#For editors]].<br />
<br />
If multiple sections have the same title, add<br />
a number. [[#Example section 3]] goes to the<br />
third section named "Example section".<br />
