Text Formatting - Markup Syntax

Your article's text can be formatting using Mediawiki's markup. This is a syntax consisting of special characters, like asterisks, apostrophes and equals signs to do special things. For example, you can place a word in italics by placing a pair of apostrophies on both sides of the word, like ''this''.

Sections

Section headers are useful to break up sections of information in your article. Sections and subsections are called out by pairs of equals signs on both sides of the sections name.
