Guide to Wiki Editing
Hey guys, since some of you may not know much at all about editing Wiki things, I am going to give a guide with as much as a I know.

Creating an Article
The simplest way to start an article is this:

1. First, search the name of the article you want to create in the search box on the left side of the page. 2. If the name of the article you want to create has not been made yet, a message should appear under the search box saying: Create the Page (pagename) on this Wiki! 3. Click that link and begin creation!

Formatting
When creating an article, there are several icons right above the editing box that assist you with using different fonts and styles. But, if you want to do things manually, here are some helpers:


 * Make bold text: put three apostrophes on either side of the text you want bolded
 *  Bold text 


 * Make italic text: put two apostrophes on either side of the text you want italicized
 *  Italic text 


 * Making a link: if you want to link to another wiki page, put two brackets on either side of the text you want linked.
 *  Link 

If you want it to link to another site, only put one bracket on either side.
 *  External Link 


 * Making sections: To divide your article into different sections by using a heading, enter a new line and put equals signs (=) surrounding both sides of the text you want to make a heading. There are 4 basic headings you can make:

=Page Heading; 1 equals sign=

Tiny Heading; 5 equals signs
So, I hope this helps some. If you still have any questions, telegram me on NationStates.
