This Editing Overview is meant as a quick reference, with some "getting started" help. It has a lot of wikitext examples. Each of the topics covered here is covered somewhere else in more detail. Please look in the box on the right for the topic you are interested in. You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference while you edit.

Editing Basics

Start editing: To start editing a page, click on the "Edit this page" (or just "edit") link at one of its edges. This will bring you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext: the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the FAIRwiki:Sandbox, not here.

Summarize your changes: You should write a short Edit Summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the legend.

Preview before saving: When you have finished, press preview to see how your changes will look -- before you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click "Save" and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.

Wikitext markup -- making your page look the way you want it

If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the Sandbox.

Organizing your writing: Sections, paragraphs, lists and lines

What it looks like	What you type
Sections and subsections Start sections with header lines Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them. New section Subsection Sub-subsection	== New section == === Subsection === ==== Sub-subsection ====
A single newline has no effect on the layout. But an empty line starts a new paragraph, or ends a list or indented part. (<p> disables this paragraphing until </p> or the end of the section) (in Cologne Blue two newlines and a div tag give just one newline; in the order newline, div tag, newline, the result is two newlines) You can make the wikitext more readable by putting in newlines. You might find this causes future problems -- see w:Wikipedia:Don't use line breaks for details.	A single newline has no effect on the layout. But an empty line starts a new paragraph.
You can break lines without starting a new paragraph. (The HTML tag <br> is sufficient. The system produces the XHTML code <br />.)	You can break lines<br> without starting a new paragraph.
Unordered Lists are easy to do: start every line with a star more stars means deeper levels A newline in a list marks the end of the list. Of course you can start again.	* Unordered Lists are easy to do: start every line with a star * more stars means deeper levels A newline in a list marks the end of the list. Of course you can *start again.
Numbered lists are also good very organized easy to follow A newline in a list marks the end of the list. New numbering starts with 1.	# Numbered lists are also good ## very organized ## easy to follow #A newline #in a list marks the end of the list. #New numbering starts #with 1.
You can even do mixed lists and nest them or break lines in lists	* You can even do mixed lists # and nest them #* or break lines<br>in lists
Definition list word definition of the word longer phrase phrase defined	; word : definition of the word ; longer phrase : phrase defined
indenting A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph. This is often used for discussion on Talk pages.	: A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph.
preformatted text IF a line of plain text starts with a space it will be formatted exactly as typed in a fixed-width font lines won't wrap ENDIF this is useful for: * pasting preformatted text; * algorithm descriptions; * program source code * ASCII art; * chemical structures; WARNING If you make it wide, you and hence less readable. Never start ordinary lines with spaces. (see also below)	IF a line of plain text starts with a space it will be formatted exactly as typed in a fixed-width font lines won't wrap ENDIF this is useful for: * pasting preformatted text; * algorithm descriptions; * program source code * ASCII art; * chemical structures;
Centered text.	<center>Centered text.</center>
A: above and below. If you don't use a section header, you don't get a TOC entry.	A horizontal dividing line: above ---- and below.

General notes:

Enclose the target name in double square brackets -- "[[" and "]]"
First letter of target name is automatically capitalized
Spaces are represented as underscores (but don't do underscores yourself)
Links to nonexistant pages are shown in red -- [[MediaWiki User's Guide: Starting a new page|]] tells about creating the page.
When the mouse cursor "hovers" over the link, you see a "hover box" containing...

What it looks like	What you type
Basic Sue is reading the official position (or Official positions).	Sue is reading the [[official position]]s (or [[Official position]]).
Interwiki linking A link to the page on another wiki (e.g. the same subject in another language) For more info see m:Help:Interwiki linking. fr:Wikipédia:Aide.	For more info see [[m:Help:Interwiki linking]]. [[:fr:Wikipédia:Aide]].
Section of page List of cities by country#Morocco. List of cities by country#Sealand. If the section doesn't exist, the link goes to the top of the page	[[List of cities by country#Morocco]]. [[List of cities by country#Sealand]].
piped link Use a pipe "\|" to create a link label: About Links Cities in Morocco	[[Help:Links\|About Links]] [[List of cities by country#Morocco\| Cities in Morocco]]
"blank" pipes hide stuff: In parentheses: kingdom. Namespace: Village pump. After you save, the server automatically fills in the link label.	In parentheses: [[kingdom (biology)\|]]. Namespace: [[Wikipedia:Village pump\|]].
Links to nonexistant pages The weather in London is a page that doesn't exist yet. You can create it by clicking on the link. Have a look at how to start a page guide and the naming conventions page for your project.	[[The weather in London]] is a page that doesn't exist yet.
Link to yourself You should "sign" your comments on talk pages: Your user name: Karl Wick Or your user name plus date/time: Karl Wick 08:10 Oct 5, 2002 (UTC) The server will fill in the link after you save.	You should "sign" your comments on talk pages: : Your user name: ~~~ : Or your user name plus date/time: ~~~~
Redirect one article title to another with this special link.	#REDIRECT [[United States]]
"Magic" links links to books: ISBN 0123456789X (See Help:ISBN links RFC links to Requests for Comments: RFC 123 (See mediawiki:Rfcurl)	ISBN 0123456789X RFC 123
Media Links To include links to non-image uploads such as sounds, use a "media" link. Sound	[[media:Sg_mrob.ogg\|Sound]]
Dates Use links for dates, so everyone can set their own display order. Use Special:Preferences to change your own date display setting.	[[July 20]], [[1969]] , [[20 July]] [[1969]] and [[1969]]-[[07-20]] will all appear as 20 July-1969 if you set your date display preference to 1 January 2001.
Special pages "What links here" and "Related changes" can be linked as: Special:Whatlinkshere/Wikipedia:How to edit a page and Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:How to edit a page	[[Special:Whatlinkshere/ Wikipedia:How to edit a page]] and [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/ Wikipedia:How to edit a page]]

External Links

Nupedia, [1]	[http://www.nupedia.com Nupedia], [http://www.nupedia.com]
Or just give the URL: http://www.nupedia.com. In the all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 ._\/~%- &#?!=()@ \x80-\xFF. If a URL contains a different character it should be converted; for example, ^ has to be written ^ (to be looked up in). A blank space can also be converted into an underscore.

Images, Video, and Sounds

What it looks like

What you type

In-line picture: Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia

For many projects, only images that have been uploaded to the same project or the Commons can be used. To upload images, use the upload page. You can find the uploaded image on the image list

A picture: [[Image:Wiki.png]]

or, with alternative text (strongly encouraged)

[[Image:Wiki.png|
Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia]]

s render alternative text when not displaying an image -- for example, when the image isn't loaded, or in a text-only browser, or when spoken aloud. See for help on choosing alternative text. See for more options.

There is more information on resizing and other formatting tricks.

Other ways of linking to pictures

The Image page: Image:Wiki.png
A link to just the picture: Wikipedia

[[:Image:Wiki.png]]
[[media:Wiki.png|Wikipedia]]

Other Media Links -- Video and Sounds

Use a "media" link: Sound
There is More information on other media types.

[[media:Sg_mrob.ogg|Sound]]

Character formatting

<tr> <td> Use leading space on each line to keep newlines and multiple spaces, and get typewriter font: arrow → italicslink </pre> </td> <td valign="bottom">

 arrow      &rarr;

 ''italics''
 [[link]]

</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Use typewriter font:

arrow →

italics link

</td> <td valign="bottom">

<tt>arrow      &rarr;</tt>

Spacing things out

To space things out, use non-breaking spaces -- " " (they also prevent line breaks in the middle of text -- useful in formulas).

To align rows and columns, use table syntax. You can control the width of a cell (as in template Modèle:Tim), or insert space using empty cells (as in templates Modèle:Tim and Modèle:Tim).

Tips and Tricks

Transclusion

You can include the complete contents of another page into the current page. This is called transclusion. To transclude the page "another page" use

{{:another page}}

Templates

Some part of a page may correspond in the edit box to just a reference to another page, in the form {{name}}, referring to the page "Template:name" (or if the name starts with a namespace prefix, it refers to the page with that name; if it starts with a colon it refers to the page in the main namespace with that name without the colon). This is called a template. For changing that part of the page, edit that other page. Sometimes a separate edit link is provided for this purpose. A convenient way to put such a link in a template is with a template like m:Template:ed. Note that the change also affects other pages which use the same template.

Hover box

A hover box without a link is possible: <span title="2.54 cm" style="border-bottom:1px dotted">inch</span> gives inch. With Modèle:Tcw one can use {{title|2.54 cm|inch}}.

Combined with a link, with an independent hover box text: inch *

Since it depends on the browser whether the hover box appears, it should only be used for non-essential information, for example information one can also find by following the link.

Some browsers show the hover box only a number of seconds. Even though it reappears when the cursor is moved away and back, this makes the hover box unsuitable for long or complicated text. Modèle:Title

Details of what the browser shows may vary, e.g. "Title:" in front, indentation, code like "</p><p>" being shown, with or without newline, etc.

Page protection

In a few cases the link labeled "Modifier cette page" is replaced by the text "Voir le texte source" (or equivalents in the language of the project). In that case the page cannot be edited. Protection of an image page is automatically also protection of the image itself.

Separating edits

When moving or copying a piece of text within a page or from another page, and also making other edits, it is useful to separate these edits. This way the diff function can be usefully applied for checking these other edits.

Error message

If, due to server problems, a save command results in an error message, either the saving has failed, or just the confirmation. Check e.g. My Contributions to find out.

Edit in your favorite Editor

You may find it more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite, edit and spell check it there, and then paste it back into your to preview. This way, you can also keep a local backup copy of the pages you have edited. It also allows you to make changes offline, but before you submit your changes, please make sure nobody else has edited the page since you saved your local copy (by checking the page history), otherwise you may accidently revert someone else's edits. If someone has edited it since you copied the page, you'll have to merge their edits into your new version (you can find their specific edits by using the "diff" feature of the page history). These issues are handled automatically by the MediaWiki software if you edit the page in your web browser.

Differences

For a redirect page the preview and the rendered page may show the contents differently: the latter shows the canonical form of the target, while the preview renders the link in the usual way, compare [2] with the preview of [3].

Composition of the edit page

edit toolbar (optional)
edit box
edit summary box
save/preview/cancel links
list of templates used
preview (optionally either on every edit page or just after pressing "Show preview"; optionally the first item)

Position-independent wikitext

Wikitext for which the result does not depend on the position in the wikitext page:

interlanguage links (see also above) - the mutual order is preserved, but otherwise the positions within the page are immaterial
category specification - ditto

Special characters in HTML

Modèle:H:f

What it looks like	What you type
Emphasize, strongly, very strongly. These are double and triple apostrophes, not double quotes.	''Emphasize'', '''strongly''', '''''very strongly'''''.
You can also write italic and bold if the desired effect is a specific font style rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulas: F = ma However, the difference between these two methods is not very important for graphical browsers, and many people choose to ignore it.	You can also write <i>italic</i> and <b>bold</b> if the desired effect is a specific font style rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulas: :<b>F</b> = <i>m</i><b>a</b>
A typewriter font for `technical terms`.	A typewriter font for <tt>technical terms</tt>.
You can use small text for captions.	You can use <small>small text</small> for captions.
You can ~~strike out deleted material~~ and underline new material.	You can <strike>strike out deleted material</strike> and <u>underline new material</u>.

Subscript: x₂ Superscript: x² or x² The latter method of superscript can't be used in the most general context, but is preferred when possible (as with units of measurement) because most browsers have an easier time formatting lines with it. ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C² / J m. 1 hectare = 1 E4 m²	Subscript: x<sub>2</sub> Superscript: x<sup>2</sup> or x² or in projects with the templates sub and sup: Subscript: x{{sub\|2}} Superscript: x{{sup\|2}} ε<sub>0</sub> = 8.85 × 10<sup>−12</sup> C² / J m. 1 [[hectare]] = [[1 E4 m²]]
