Formatting[edit]
How do I format my contributions?[edit]
The wiki editor uses different techniques to format your contributions. Visit mediawikiwiki:Help:Formatting for an extensive list of formatting techniques and recommended approaches. When editing or creating a page, the built-in wiki editor should also display some buttons for easy access to commonly used formatting techniques.
Templates[edit]
Templates also allow for formatting elements. Generally templates are used to create infoboxes on a page, but they can also be used for centering, coloring, conditionals and many more. Additional information can be found here: mediawikiwiki:Help:Templates
