Tips

[edit]
  • If you want to create an external link: [https://Cleanmemes.com A site for clean memes]. It will look like this at the end: A site for clean memes


  • If you are writing and want to create a link to a similar article: [[Elephants]]. It will look like this: Elephants


  • To create Italic text, simply put two ' (not ") on each side of the term you want in italic: ''The Hunger Games''. It will look like this: The Hunger Games


  • To create an italic hyperlink, put the ' outside the whole term, including the brackets: ''[[The Hunger Games]]''. It will look like this: The Hunger Games


  • If you want to create a link to an article, but it doesn't match with the proper grammar in the sentence: [[List of Star Wars films|''Star Wars'' movies]]. The first term in front of the | is the article you want to redirect to, and the second term behind the | is what you want to look at. It will appear like this: Star Wars movies


  • If you want to create a bullet point for a list: *. Then, put the information behind the asterisk: *Elephants are endangered It will look like this:
  • Elephants are endangered


  • If you want to get a certain user's attention without going to their talk page, ping them by adding their username to the place where "Dswitz10734" is: {{ping|Dswitz10734}} or {{u|Dswitz10734}} . Either of these will look like this at the end: @Dswitz10734: After typing this, write your message where this text is and the user will get a notification.
