[edit] Basic editing

This website is a wiki, and thus uses wiki markup. This section is only a guide to the basic wiki markup used on this site, for more information see Wikipedia's help page on editing. Remember that you can edit a page by pressing the "edit" button at the very top of the page or by pressing the "[edit]" button by the side of a header. An additional option is to give a brief note of what you contributed to the page on it's "discussion", or talk, page associated with any particular page.

Note that there are many other types of editing format, such as _{writing subscript}, ^{writing superscript}, and changing the background colors of text that this page does not show you how to do (unless you view the source by clicking the button to edit the page), but these are not essential and can be found on some of the more detailed pages on Wikipedia, MetaWiki and Wikia.

[edit] Linking

To link to a page add two square brackets like [[special:random|so]],
or to link to a specific section use a "#" sign like [[the Force#Light Side|so]].

If a link is <font color="red">red</font>,
it means that no article has been written about it yet,
and by clicking on the link you can create the page.

For an external link use [http://example.com this form]
or [http://example.com] ← that form
or http://example.com ← that form.
