Use the following Wikitext markup to tailor the appearance of your page:

'''<translate><!--T:9--> Drafting sections and subsections</translate>'''
<translate><!--T:10--> Begin a section with a header line</translate>
 
{{Note|1=<translate><!--T:11--> The top-level heading like the page title is indicated by a single equal (<tvar name=1><code>{{=}}</code></tvar>) sign.</translate>}}
 
<blockquote>
<!-- This code prevents confusion in the section editing feature -->
<div class="mw-heading2"><translate><!--T:12--> A section</translate></div>
<div class="mw-heading3"><translate><!--T:13--> A sub-section</translate></div>
<div class="mw-heading4"><translate><!--T:14--> Another sub-subsection</translate></div>
</blockquote>
 
* <translate><!--T:15--> Avoid using first-level headings (<tvar name=1><code>=</code></tvar>); rather, begin with a second-level heading (<tvar name=2><code><nowiki>==</nowiki></code></tvar>).</translate>
* <translate><!--T:16--> Avoid jumping levels; for example, don't go from second to fourth level.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:17--> If an article has four or more parts, a {{<tvar name=1>ll|Help:Table of contents#Table of contents (TOC)</tvar>|table of contents}} will be generated automatically.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:18--> Sort the subsections in an appropriate order.</translate> <translate><!--T:19--> When listing countries, for instance, sort them alphabetically as opposed to, say, according to their respective populations inside the [[w:OECD|OECD]] or in any other [[wikt:haphazard|haphazardous]] order.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:20--> Use HTML heading tags and close headings without slashes, if you wish to keep them out of the TOC.</translate> <translate><!--T:21--> For example:</translate> <syntaxhighlight lang="html"><h4><translate nowrap><!--T:22--> Subsection with heading too low level to be in the TOC</translate><h4></syntaxhighlight>

<blockquote>

<translate><!--T:29--> This is still part of the same paragraph.</translate>

* <translate><!--T:30--> An empty line starts a new paragraph or ends a list or indented part.</translate> <translate><!--T:31--> The <tvar name=1>{{tag|p|open}}</tvar> tag can disable a paragraph until <tvar name="2">{{tag|p|close}}</tvar> or the end of the section.</translate>

Editing pages[edit | edit source]

It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki:

Click the "Edit" page tab at the top of the page. Make changes to the text. Click the "Save page" button. Simple as that!

For more information on how to edit or format a page, see the official MediaWiki documentation

Starting a new page[edit | edit source]

If you search for a page that doesn't exist, then you will be provided with a link to create the new page.
