How to make articles

To begin creating articles, simply edit a page by clicking on "edit" at the top of the page. Add the name of the desired article, with  around it, then click save. The new version of the page will have a red link that looks like this. Click on that link, and start typing a page. (If your new article is not related to the original article, so that you wouldn't want your link left in permanently, it might be better to click the "show preview" button rather than "save page," then click on the red link in the preview to start your new page. Or you could use the sandbox, which you wouldn't have to worry about messing up.)

Formating
Wikis use several tags for formatting and so forth. As mentioned above, the most basic is the link tag,. If you wish to link to something but using a different name, use |, thus Words will look like Words, but link you to the page entitled "terminology"

HTML-style tags
*Item 1 *Item 2 **Item 3 Will look like
 * italics create italics
 * bold creates bold
 * To create bulleted lists like this, use asterisks, thus:
 * Item 1
 * Item 2
 * Item 3


 * For indented lists
 * Use colons
 * Like this:

:Item two ::Item three Looks like
 * Item one
 * Item two
 * Item three


 * 1) For numbered lists
 * 2) Use the pound sign
 * 3) That is
 * 4) This
 * 5) Will
 * 6) Look like
 * 7) this
 * 8) This
 * 9) Will
 * 10) Look like
 * 11) This

Finally, the tags   turn off formatting, which was used above in my explanations

To make section headings, use ==Name==, which will look like
