==Text Formattting==
Most of what can be done below can be done easier in the regular editor as opposed to Edit Source.
'''Italics'''
==Text Formatting==
This is how you format text with the source editor. You can do most of this with normal editor.
'''<big>Italics</big>'''
<nowiki>''</nowiki>Word<nowiki>''</nowiki> = ''word''
<nowiki>''</nowiki>Word<nowiki>''</nowiki> = ''word''
'''Bold'''
Two apostrophe on each side.
'''<big>Bold</big>'''
<nowiki>'''</nowiki>Word<nowiki>'''</nowiki> = '''word'''
Three apostrophe on each side.
'''<big>Bold & Italic</big>'''
'<nowiki>'''</nowiki>Word'<nowiki>'''</nowiki> = '''''word'''''
Four apostrophe on each side.
'''<big>No Wiki Markup</big>'''
<nowiki> <nowiki>''markup''</nowiki> </nowiki> = <nowiki>''markup''</nowiki>
Negates any formatting you put in.
==Section Formatting==
'''<big>Headings</big>'''
<nowiki>==Section Level 2==</nowiki>
<nowiki>===Section Level 3===</nowiki>
etc.
The headings divide the sections of the wiki, examples being the "Text Formatting" and "Section Formatting" headers for this page. It goes down to Level 6 with six (======) on each side. Having more than 3 headings on a page will auto-generate a table of contents.
'''<big>Divider Lines</big>'''
<nowiki>----</nowiki> makes the below line.
----
'''<big>Bullet Points & Lists</big>'''
You can start a bullet point or numbered list with a * or # respectivly.
* List
# List
Would be
<nowiki>*</nowiki> List
<nowiki>#</nowiki> List
Adding more * or #s would indent it further in.
<nowiki>*</nowiki> List
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Moar indent
Like this
* List
** Moar indent
If you try to do ** or more without having the first * of the list it will look like
** This
<big>You can also do Definition lists like this</big>
<nowiki>;</nowiki>item 1
<nowiki>:</nowiki> definition 1
<nowiki>;</nowiki>item 2
<nowiki>:</nowiki> definition 2-1
<nowiki>:</nowiki> definition 2-2
;item 1
: definition 1
;item 2
: definition 2-1
: definition 2-2 <br />All of these list types should work together. See [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Lists|here]] for more on lists.
'''<big>Indents</big>'''
<nowiki>: Makes an indent</nowiki>
:Indent
::Double indent with two (:: and a space after it)
More colons indent it further.
==HTML Tagging==
'''<big>Preformatted text</big>'''
Aka this block ^
Can be done by typing a space at the beginning of a line or by
<nowiki><pre> This </pre></nowiki>
<pre> This </pre>
Regular text formatting like Bold, italics, etc works inside of this.
'''<big>Underline and Strikethrough</big>'''
<nowiki><ins>Text</ins></nowiki> or <nowiki><u>Text</u></nowiki> will make this:
<u>Text </u>.
<nowiki><del>Text</del></nowiki> or <nowiki><s>Text</s></nowiki> will make this:
<s>Text</s>
<big>'''Quotes'''</big>
<nowiki><q>Quote</q></nowiki>
<q>Quote</q>
This does nothing special besides adding quotation marks to the text, so I would just use them normally instead of the extra code.
<big>'''Source Comments'''</big>
<nowiki><!-- This is a comment --> </nowiki>
Adding the <nowiki><!--</nowiki> and ending it with a > makes a comment that only page editors can see when using the "Edit Source" button.
==Symbols==
Symbols can be added with HTML formatting, using [[wikipedia:List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references|this]] Wikipedia page to get the symbol name from the "Names" Category on the table there.
&copy; would make this symbol : ©
All you need is &symbolname; (and symbol, the symbol name, and a semicolon).
==Tables==
They made a better [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Tables|tutorial]] than one I can write.
===Navboxes and Infoboxes===
Copy and edit the values from the code on these pages.
Infobox Template: [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Template:Infobox/Queen Page] (Ignore everything under the comment in Source edit.
Navbox Template: [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Template:Machina Page] (This is just to show how it is formatted, to make your own you will need to make a page called Template:Navboxname and format it like this one.)
