'''Editing''' refers to the changing of a page by a Wikimedia user. Unless certain restrictions are in effect, such as [[protection]], all pages are editable, by everyone. This is a brief overview of that process. The editing table of contents to the right contains more information on editing functions.

Here are the most frequently used types of wiki markup. If you need more help see [[Help:Wikitext examples|Wikitext examples]].

You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.

3 apostrophes will embolden '''the text'''.

5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize
'''''the text'''''.

(4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just ''''one left over''''.)

You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:
* Three tildes give your user name: [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])<br />
* Four tildes give your user name plus date/time: [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
* Five tildes give the date/time alone: 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

<div style="font-size:150%;border-bottom:1px solid rgb(170,170,170);">Section headings</div>

''Headings'' organize your writing into sections.
The Wiki software can automatically generate
a [[Help:Section|table of contents]] from them.

<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Subsection</div>
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">A smaller subsection</div>

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

* ''Unordered [[Help:List|list]]s'' are easy to do:
** Start every line with a star.
*** 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.

You can link to a page section by placing a "#" before its title:

If multiple sections have the same title, add
a number. [[#Example section 3]] goes to the
third section named "Example section".
