Summary

This reference is to help users better understand MediaWiki markup. Wiki markup is an alternative to (X)HTML markup. When a page is accessed, it's Wiki markup is used to generate valid XHTML around the content. For example, "[[Main Page]]" will generate an HTML anchor tag ("<a>"), creating a direct link to the page titled "Main Page" (e.g. Main Page). MediaWiki documents also support valid XHTML and inline CSS styling.

Sections

While you cannot edit these sections, the markup used to create them can always be looked at by clicking the "View Source" tab at the top of each page. This may help in visualizing what pages look like as raw markup.

  • Formatting: markup for italics, bold, etc.
  • Headings: instructions on use of proper document structure.
  • Links: internal and external page linking.
  • Lists: number, bulleted and other lists.
  • HTML: simple HTML markup for advanced users limited by Wiki markup.
