In the chart below find coding related to headers and sections; inserting links; fonts and stylistic formatting; and structural formatting. You can also affect some of these commands by using the Tool Bar above each editing field.

  • Check out the Wikipedia Sandbox if you want to practice your editing skills in a "safe" space.


How do I do…? Use the following code:
Headings & Sections
Title
=Title=
Subtitle
==Subtitle==
(and so on...)
Sub-subtitle
===Sub-subtitle===
(Note: A table of contents will automatically generate if there are a number of different headings and subheadings on a page.)
Inserting Links
To an internal (GoodWiki) website
[[exact name of internal page]]
or
[http://internal.link Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link]
Once saved, this will appear as Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link.
To external (non-GoodWiki) website
http://external.link
This will appear as a linked website. Alternately, to "name" the link you’re creating, use:
[http://external.link Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link]
Once saved, this will appear as Word(s) you want to use to refer to the link.
Fonts & Stylistic Tools
Bold
'''words to be bolded'''
Italic
''words to be italicized''
Bold and italic
'''''words to be in bold & italics'''''
Underline
<u>words to be underlined</u>

Subscript
<sub>words to be in subscript</sub>
Small

Structural Formatting

:word to be tabbed/indented
(Note: More colons indent the line even further to the right.)
