The Basics
These are the basic styles of MediaWiki. Know these to write and link basic articles in these Lexicon games.
Headings
Use Equals signs (=) to make headers. Each = you use makes your heading a less important one. Use one = for a very important top level heading and two or three for more minor headings.
=== Sample Header Level 3 ===
Displays as
Sample Header Level 3
Lists
For reference, bulleted lists are known as unordered lists, and numbered lists are known as ordinal lists.
Bulleted Lists
Preceed each line with "* ". Mediawiki will make any unbroken series of lines starting with "* " into a bulleted list.
E.g.
* List item 1 * List item 2 * List item 3 * List item N
Translates to:
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
- List item N
Numbered Lists
Preceed each line with "# ". Mediawiki will make any unbroken series of lines start with "# " into a numbered list.
E.g.
# List item 1 # List item 2 # List item 3 # List item N
Translates to:
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
- List item N
