This page is currently undergoing a major edit for a while. To prevent edit conflicts, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed.

A page can be formatted in a number of different ways, using headers, lists, infoboxes, and image galleries. For ideas on how to implement each of these in the different editors, please see the Classic editor page, the Visual Editor page, and the wikitext page for source mode.

Headings

 * It is good to break up long articles into sections to help the reader stay oriented. This can be done using headings. The format options available are:

Lists
Lists can help to visually group related content and may be numbered or have bullet points.


 * Numbers:  A numbered list will look like this:
 * First item
 * Second item
 * Third item


 * Bullets:  A bullet list will look like this:
 * First item
 * Second item
 * Third item

Infoboxes

 * Infoboxes can be used to separate out important basic information that people may want to find quickly.

Image galleries

 * A gallery of images or a slideshow can be used to present similar types of images in a more compact format on the page.
