Wikitext is the main markup language used to format content on Fandom. It can be used to add photos, tables, bold styles, links, and many other visual changes.
It's not necessary to know wikitext in order to edit a page: you can use the VisualEditor, or visual mode in the classic editor, to avoid it. However, users who learn it may appreciate the additional control they have over page content.
Wikitext can be used via 'source mode' in either editor. To access an article's wikitext:
- Classic editor: click the 'Source' tab at the top right of the edit area.
- VisualEditor: click the menu button towards the right side of the toolbar, and choose 'Source Editor'.
Below is an outline of basic wikitext that you can use while editing. Many of the options listed below have shortcut buttons in the editor toolbars.
