== Text formatting markup ==

'''This table lists the various formatting options available using Wikitext:''' 

== Basic text formatting ==

You can format the page using Wikitext special characters.

{| border="1" style="width: 728px; height: 856px;"
|-
! width="640px" | What it looks like on the wiki page
! width="360px" | What you type

You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2 apostrophes on '''each''' side.

3 apostrophes will '''embolden the text'''.

5 apostrophes will '''embolden''' and ''italicize'' '''''the text'''''.

(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special -- the last pair are just ''''left over ones'''' that are included as part of the text.)

A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the ''diff'' function (used internally to compare different versions of a page).

But an empty line starts a new paragraph.

When used in a list, a newline ''does'' affect the layout .

You can break lines without a new paragraph. Please use this sparingly.

Please do not start a link or ''italics'' or '''bold''' text on one line and end on the next.

Marcus:

'''Editing rules, editing conventions, and formatting''' The number one rule of wiki editing, is to ''be bold''. Dive in and make changes. Other people can correct mistakes later, so have confidence, and give it a try! There can be all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophy governing the editing of wiki pages, but the ''"be bold"'' rule overrides these! Remember you should always aim to improve the overall contents of the wiki with your edits. In general try to write clearly and concisely and make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the wiki contents. An edit might be to contribute whole paragraphs or pages full of information, or it could be as simple as fixing a typo or spelling mistake. When you need to use some type of formatting e.g. new headings or bold text, you do this using the various formatting buttons at the top of the page, just like any word processing program.

It is also possible to add links and formatting using wiki syntax. See [[Help:Formatting]] for some of the common types of formatting using wiki syntax . 

Some sections of the wiki article can be edited by clicking the edit link to the right of a section heading.

Alternatively the Edit tab at the top of the page will enable editing of all the page. This method of editing is required for adding details to the map, or inserting images or videos.

 '''Edit Summary''' Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the Summary: box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it, but try to give a little description of what you just changed e.g. "fixed typo" or "added more information about sunflowers". The summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to track changes in the wiki more effectively. '''Preview''' It's a good idea to use the “Preview” button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to tracking changes because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving several minor corrections afterwards. '''Discussion''' Every article has its own "talk page" where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections.
