Text

• To write ellipses, you need to write a non-breaking space. The NBS keeps the ellipses from being the first characters on a line (being wrapped to the next line).
  •  …
• The nowiki tag does not prevent special characters from being translated. To get special characters to display themselves spelled out, use this:

To show me	…	not	…
I should type	…	not	…

Redirects

• There exists a page named ZZZ, and I want the text ZZZ to link to it.
  • [[ZZZ]]
• Make a link from the text XXX to the page YYY
  • [[YYY|XXX]]

• Make an anchor so you can later point to text XXX
  • <span id="TAG">XXX</span>
• Make a link from the text YYY to XXX — where XXX is on the same page
  • [[#TAG|YYY]]
• Make a link from the text YYY to XXX — where XXX is on the page ZZZ
  • [[ZZZ#TAG|YYY]]

Citations

• Unnamed reference
  • Here is my text.<ref>Here is my citation.</ref>
• Name a reference so can refer to it later
  • Here is my text.<ref name="foo">Here is my citation.</ref>

  • <ref name="foo"/>
