'''<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>}}

<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>

Editing pages

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, see the official MediaWiki documentation

Starting a new page

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