Community Central:Guide:Wikitext

When editing, leaving comments or posting on wikis you'll need to know the basics of wikitext. It's true we have our awesome editor that helps with editing, but there are times where you'll need to edit using wiki text. Such situations can occur when leaving comments on blogs or article pages or when a page is only editable in source mode.

Wikipedia defines wiki text or wiki markup as a lightweight markup language used to write pages in wiki websites. It is a simplified alternative/intermediate to HTML. Its ultimate purpose is to be converted by wiki software into HTML, which in turn is served to web browsers.[1]

Below you'll find a cheat sheet to help you learn wiki text. It's a brief synopsis of wiki text but it's what you'll need to get started editing.

We cover the basics in text editing, formatting and hyperlinking. Once you get going on your wiki a lot of this stuff will come naturally over time &mdash; but until then you've got this for reference.
