Creating Pages

The easiest way to create a page is to create a link, then follow it. Links without pages show up as red. You can click them and fill in a new page. (Links with pages on the other end are blue.)

[[Link Name]]

This link would create a page called Link Name, just like it appeared in the link.

Basic Formatting

In a wiki, both wiki mark up and some html are allowed. Sadly, no BBC like at Absit Omen. But it's pretty easy to get the hang of it.

''italic''

'''bold'''

'''''bold italic'''''

# one
# two
# three
## three point one
## three point two
  1. one
  2. two
  3. three
    1. three point one
    2. three point two
* one
* two
* three
** three point one
** three point two
  • one
  • two
  • three
    • three point one
    • three point two
: Single indent
:: Double indent
Single indent
Double indent
<center> Text </center>
This centers the text.
<blockquote> Quote </blockquote>
This sets off a quote.

Links

  1. Internal Links to other pages in the wiki
  2. External Links to other websites

Please notice that Internal Links use double brackets [[, and External Links use single brackets [.

Internal Links

Table of Contents

When a page has more than three headings, a table of contents will be automatically generated.

__TOC__
Place at the top of the page to force the Table of Contents to appear there. You also have to put a bunch of blank lines before the first heading so it will fit.
