If you do any searching for how to format text or other editing stuff, please include it here! We're all learning as we go.

Check out [Help:Editing Toolbar] for the basic functions of the toolbar buttons at the top of the edit screen, and [Wikimedia:How To Edit a Page].

Quick reference (hit "edit" at the top of this page to see described punctuation):

  • Two brackets on either side of a word or phrase will link to the WinsomeWiki page with that title (it must be exact; "AP Lang" will not direct to AP English Language, but to a page that I have redirected to AP English Language.
    • To redirect a page, include "#redirect [[pagename]]" at the top of the page you wish to redirect.
  • To link/refer to a website, use single brackets, e.g., [http://google.com] becomes [1].
    • To name the link, use the single brackets around the hyperlink and the words you want to link. [http://google.com Google] becomes Google.
    • To show the link, just type the web address: http://google.com. This is considered bad form, though.
