Coloring text, how do I do that?

Formatting pages are a mess
There are several formatting pages, links have an entire page for themselves, how to do the formatting has its own page separate from what the formatting looks like (this is silly, I think), and instructions on using the source editor/"wikitext" are strewn all over the place. Then there's the Help:Wikitext page, which includes a lot of the instructions I was searching for, and struggling to find amidst all the other formatting help pages.

I suggest that many of the formatting help pages should be merged. If you want to understand how to format something, you would be better served by a single comprehensive resource--the Wikitext help page is a good example--than several small pages that deal with some fraction of formatting.
