Style general[edit source]
Use empty lines to separate paragraphs.[edit source]
When writing multiple paragraphs, separate them by using a blank line between each paragraph. Otherwise, the paragraphs might not appear separate when you preview or save the page.
| What you type | What appears |
A paragraph contains one or more sentences.
A new paragraph starts here. You can also use '''bold''' and ''italic'' in paragraphs.

Avoid accidental links.[edit source]
|
Do not do this!
|

|
You can link arbitrary links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or some other wiki, by using the [[wiki:name of page|]] syntax. Look at our interwiki map, or use the shortcuts "w:" and "wikt:" for Wikipedia or Wiktionary.
| What you type | What appears |
You can put [[wikt:bracket|]]s around any [[wikt:word|]] that [[wikt:you|]] want if you link to Wiktionary.
If you write [[w:wiki]], the "w:" shows. Use a pipe, like [[w:wiki|]] or [[w:wiki|wiki]].
Read more about [[Meatball:AccidentalLinking|]] or [[MetaWikipedia:Interwiki map|our interwiki map]]. Note that if you know where an existing page is, such as [[astronomy]] or [[Wikijunior South America]], then you can link to it.

There is advanced wiki markup for lists and indentations.[edit source]
If you start a line with an asterisk *, it makes a bulleted list. The pound sign # makes a numbered list, while the colon : simply indents.
