Editing an article
An editable article page has a [Edit] tab on top of the page which can be used to enter editing mode for the whole article.
Creating sections in an article
The section heading syntax is the double equal (==) tag.
To create a section, simply add its title within a pair of double equals ( == Title of The Section == ) with nothing else on the line.
Inserting a new section
Inserting a section can be done by editing either the section before or after it. A new section is created anywhere a line starts and ends with a section tag (equal signs).
Subsections
Each additional "=" corresponds to a subsection.
- == for section
- === for subsection
- ==== for sub-subsection
- === for subsection
Editing a section
Any section of an article is editable by clicking on the [edit] link that is at the end of the line the section title is on. To make changes to the section, click the [Edit] link.
Subsections are included in the part of the section that is edited.
"__NOEDITSECTION__" anywhere on the page will remove the edit links.
Deleting or merging a section
A section is removed by deleting a heading or a heading's tags, without affecting the content of the section. Removing a section's heading appends its contents to the previous section. The contents of the two are merged.
To delete a section and remove all its contents, delete all the content along with the heading.
Writing comments that won't show
The text between '''here''' <!-- comment here --> '''and here''' won't be displayed
When placed on a page, the above will produce:
The text between here and here won't be displayed

Wiki syntax
In linguistics, syntax (from Ancient Greek σύνταξις "arrangement" from σύν syn, "together", and τάξις táxis, "an ordering") is the study of the principles and rules for constructing sentences in natural languages.
In addition to referring to the discipline, the term syntax is also used to refer directly to the rules and principles that govern the sentence structure of any individual language, as in "the syntax of Modern Irish", and "the syntax of MediaWiki".
...The term syntax is also sometimes used to refer to the rules governing the behavior of mathematical systems, such as logic, artificial formal languages, and computer programming languages[1].
In every section of this guide, you will find the syntax necessary to accomplish the task at hand.
