Here are the 6 most frequently used types of wiki markup. If you need more help see Wikitext examples. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples

  1. Practice editing

    Before start editing a MediaWiki page, you'd better experiment editing in the sandbox http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Sandbox

  2. Unordered lists

    • ''Unordered lists'' are easy to do: * Start every line with a star. ** More stars indicate a deeper level. *** More stars indicate a deeper level. *** More stars indicate a deeper level. **** More stars indicate a deeper level. ***** More stars indicate a deeper level. ***** More stars indicate a deeper level. ****** More stars indicate a deeper level. ******* More stars indicate a deeper level. *: Previous item continues. ** A new line

    • in a list marks the end of the list.

    • Of course you can start again.

  3. Numbered lists

    ''Numbered lists'' are: Very organized Easy to follow More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. # More ponds indicate a deeper level. # More ponds indicate a deeper level. ## More ponds indicate a deeper level. A new line marks the end of the list. New numbering starts with 1.
