Signing your name in talk pages using ~~~~

You should always sign your comments in talk pages by appending four tildes (~~~~) to your comment, which adds your user name plus the date and time.

For example, this is what signing with four tildes will produce:

YOUR_USER_NICK 13:44, 22 March 2014 (GMT)

Adding three tildes will add just your user name.

YOUR_USER_NICK

Adding five tildes gives only the date and time.

13:44, 22 March 2014 (GMT)

If you don't know how, or cannot easily, type a tilde character on your keyboard, you can copy (then paste) the tildes from here, to use in talk pages:

~~~ (just your user name)

~~~~ (your user name plus date/time)

~~~~~ (just the date/time)

Do not sign in an article. Sign only on talk pages.

You may be able to use the number pad to type the tilde.

Press and hold down the left ALT key, then type 126 on the number pad, then release the ALT key. The tilde should appear where the cursor is.

ALSO: **** DOES NOT WORK ****

Character references that are based on the referenced character's UCS or Unicode code point are called numeric character references. In HTML 4 and in all versions of XHTML and XML, the code point can be expressed either as a decimal (base 10) number or as a hexadecimal (base 16) number. The syntax is as follows:

Character U+0026 (ampersand), followed by character U+0023 (number sign), followed by one of the following choices:

• one or more decimal digits zero (U+0030) through nine (U+0039); or
• character U+0078 ("x") followed by one or more hexadecimal digits, which are zero (U+0030) through nine (U+0039), Latin capital letter A (U+0041) through F (U+0046), and Latin small letter a (U+0061) through f (U+0066);

all followed by character U+003B (semicolon). Older versions of HTML disallowed the hexadecimal syntax.

Some cautions on using bold and italics

Italic and bold formatting only works correctly within a single line. If you start bold or italics on one line, then press "Enter" for a new line, you must again put the bold or italics markup for the text on the second line (the correct number of apostrophes).

Markup such as bold or italics will be terminated at a line break (You must put the bold/italic markup again on the text of a new line).

The following is incorrect markup:

'''''This will be in bold 
and italics.'''''

And will give this result:

This will be in bold and italics.

The following is incorrect markup:

'''''This will be in bold

MUST CODE THE FOLLOWING SO DISPLAYS IN HELP FILE

To produce text as small caps, there is a template. ???

DO WE HAVE A TEMPLATE???

Use small text only as needed.

It is better to not use big text, unless it's within small text.

A span tag can set text font-size as being 87% of prior size, to match an image caption.

Separating lines of text - one "Enter" vs. two "Enters"

Line breaks or newlines are used to add white-space between lines, such as separating paragraphs.

A line break that is visible in the content is inserted by pressing the "Enter" key twice.

Pressing "Enter" only once will place a line break (and put the text on a new line) in the markup, but it will not show in the display in the wiki (there will not be a line break in the actual wiki text), except when using list markup (making lists using ????.

Markup such as bold or italics will be terminated at a line break (You must put the bold/italic markup again on the text of a new line).

Template:Break adds multiple line breaks ???.

Template:Crlf2 adds a true carriage return and line feed.

adds a break with styling to clear floating elements. WTF???

The MediaWiki software suppresses single newlines and converts lines starting with a space to preformatted text in a dashed box. HTML suppresses multiple spaces. It is often desirable to retain these elements for poems, lyrics, mottoes, oaths and the like. The Poem extension adds HTML-like Template:Tag tags to maintain newlines and spaces. These tags may be used inside other tags such as Template:Tag. CSS styles may be applied to this tag, e.g.: <poem style="margin-left: 2em;">.

</poem>

Making text appear like "source code" or "monospace text" using <code>

use <code> and </code> to produce text with no formatting, similar to what is seen in computer coding. It is also called "monospace text".

function <code>int m2()</code> is very useful sometimes.

... will display:

function int m2() is very useful sometimes.

The "int m2()" above is in monospace font, as is also the text in the example box above.

The <pre> markup tag also produces monospace text in the display.

Create a section sub-heading using == and ===

One or more equal signs at the beginning of a line ( = ) are used to create headings.

Section headings may be used to automatically create a Table of Contents (TOC) for an article.

NOTE: A Table of Contents will automatically be created when four headings are added to an article. Use the __NOTOC__ tag to avoid a TOC from being automatically created. See: MUST PUT LINK HERE

A single "=" is used only for the main article heading and should not be used within an article.

The line above which says "Create a section heading using = " is an example of a section heading.

The heading above was created with this markup:

==Create a section sub-heading using == and === ==

You may create sub-headings by using multiple "=" signs as follows:

==Create a level two section heading==

===Create a level three section heading===

====Create a level four section heading====

====Create a level five section heading====

Align text to right side of the page

Text normally begins on the left side of the page. You may want to align the text so it is on the right side of the page instead.

Here is the tag which will do that:

Make a list

CHECK IF THIS IS CORRECT Warning: when you use # inside headers, the first level won't be numbered. The source mentions this 'looks stupid'.

A normal/unordered lists using *

A simple list can be created by putting one or more asterisks (*) at the beginning of each item.

This is equivalent to using the "<li>" tag in HTML markup.

eg

* bullet list item
* bullet list item
* bullet list item

... will give you:

• bullet list item
• bullet list item
• bullet list item

List items may be indented by using more than one asterisks as follows:

* bullet list item
** indented bullet list two
** indented bullet list three

... will give you:

• bullet list item
  • indented bullet list two
  • indented bullet list three

* bullet list item
** indented bullet list two
*** indented bullet list three
** indented bullet list three

... will give you:

• bullet list item
  • indented bullet list two
    • indented bullet list three
  • indented bullet list three

A numbered/ordered list using #

A simple numbered list can be created by putting one or more "hash marks" (#) at the beginning of each item.

# numbered list
# numbered list
## indented list
## indented list
### depth 3 indented list
### more
## and more
# and more

... will give you:

1. numbered list
2. numbered list
   1. indented list
   2. indented list
      1. depth 3 indented list
      2. more
   3. and more
3. and more

Normally, it is not possible to continue the numbering sequence after an included bulleted list. You can force numbered lists to continue the numbering sequence after an included bulleted list this way:

Example - You want this:

 1. Blah
 2. Blah blah
    * snark
    * snack
 3. Blorp

... BUT you get this:

1. Blah
2. Blah blah

• snark
• snack

1. Blorp

You can "fake" it by using the following:

#Blah
#Blah blah<br>* snark<br>* snack
#Blorp

... and you get this:

1. Blah
2. Blah blah
   * snark
   * snack
3. Blorp

Here is a more complex example of the above.

You want this:

1. item one
2. item two
   1. indented item
   2. indented item two
      * bulleted entry
      * bulleted entry
3. item three
4. item four
5. item five

... BUT you get this:

1. item one
2. item two
   1. indented item
   2. indented item

• bulleted non-numbered item
• bulleted non-numbered item

1. more
2. and more
3. and more

You can "fake" it by using <br>, as in the following:

# item one
# item one
# item two
## indented item
## indented item<br>* bulleted non-numbered item<br>* bulleted non-numbered item
# more
# and more
# and more

... and you get this:

1. item one
2. item two
   1. indented item
   2. indented item
      * bulleted non-numbered item
      * bulleted non-numbered item
3. more
4. and more
5. and more

NOTE: You can also insert one of the following into a list the same way: a), b) or i), ii), etc.

# item one
# item two
## indented item
## indented item<br>a) item<br>b) another item<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) stuff<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii) more 
# more
# and more
# and more

... and get this:

1. item one

      a) item
      b) another item
           i) stuff

To list terms and definitions using ; then :

To list terms and definitions, start a new line with a semicolon (;) followed by the term. Then, type a colon (:) followed by a definition.

Definition lists consist of group names corresponding to values. Group names (terms) are in bold. Values (definitions) are indented. Each group must include one or more definitions. For a single or first value, the : can be placed on the same line after ; – but subsequent values must be placed on separate lines.

Examples:

;Term to be defined:Definition of the term

Term to be defined

Definition of the term

;Verse:Spring has sprung,
:Fall has fell.
:Summer's here,
:and it's hotter than usual...

Verse

Spring has sprung,

Fall has fell.

Summer's here,

and it's hotter than usual...

Do not leave blank lines between items in a list unless there is a reason to do so, since this causes the MediaWiki software to interpret each item as beginning a new list.

Indenting text

Making a "blockquote" (indenting a section of text using <blockquote>)

There are several ways to indent text. You may wish to indent a block of text using the <blockquote> tag:

<blockquote> This will be indented text. This will be indented text. This will be indented text. This will be indented text. This will be indented text. </BLOCKQUOTE>

This will give you:

This will be indented text. This will be indented text. This will be indented text. This will be indented text. This will be indented text.

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Making a "blockquote" (indenting a section of text using the <poem> tag

You may also use the <poem> tag to indent text.

Note that you can include one or more spaces at the beginning of lines to further "format" the text.

<poem style="margin-left:2em;">Mary had a little lamb
  the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
  he couldn't believe his eyes!</poem>

Mary had a little lamb
  the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
  he couldn't believe his eyes!

You may adjust the amount of indent by changing the "margin-left:" in the above.

For example, by changing the "margin-left:2em" to "margin-left:6em" in the following:

<poem style="margin-left:6em;">Mary had a little lamb
  the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
  he couldn't believe his eyes!</poem>

... you get:

Mary had a little lamb
  the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
  he couldn't believe his eyes!

Making links

There are two kinds of links, an "internal link" which links to another part of the same webpage, or an "external link" which links to other pages on the same site, or to pages on other sites.

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Create a link on a page to skip to another part of the same page

A link like this is called an "internal link".

To make a link that can be clicked on to skip to another part of the same page, you need to put two tags.

The following is the first tag, which is the link to be clicked on.

There are two parts to the link. The first part (with the # in front) is the part that the second tag uses as the "target". The second part, "CLICK ON THIS" is your description of the link, which will appear in blue as a link on the page.

[[#TARGET_ONE|CLICK ON THIS]]

In the above, only the "CLICK ON THIS" will be visible in the page display.

The following tag is the target in the article/page - the point that will be skipped to:

<span id="TARGET_ONE"></span>

You must include the same target terms in the first and the second tags.

Examples of both the first and second tags:

[[#Butterflies|Section_on_butterflies]]

"#Butterflies" is the target in the below example. The phrase "Section on butterflies" will appear on the screen as the link.

This is the second tag:

<span id="Butterflies"></span>

The target will only be visible in page-edit mode. On the displayed page it will be invisible.

NOTE: Be sure to test your links. There are limitations on the characters that you can include when making the "target". Be sure that it works!

IMPORTANT: In the <span id="Butterflies"></span> the "Butterflies" is capitalized. You must always use the same case (upper- or lower-case) in the "TARGET_WORD" in </nowiki></NOWIKI>.

If the target word is "boylovers" and you put "Boylovers" in the <span id="Boylovers"></span>, then the link will NOT work!

Example of what will NOT work:

[[#Butterflies|Section_on_butterflies]]

<span id="butterflies"></span>

Create a link to another wiki page

It is very easy to create a link to another page on the same wiki.

Just put double brackets [[ and ]] on each side of the link.

Here is an example of a link to the page which describes BoyWiki:

[[BoyWiki|Boywiki]]

Boywiki

To find all internal pages on BoyWiki which can be linked to, use this link:

https://en.boywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500

Create a link to a webpage on an external site

There are several ways to put links to pages on external sites. The easiest is to simply copy and paste the URL of the site. Here is a link to the (English) Wikipedia main page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/

http://en.wikipedia.org/

You may also choose to "name" or "describe" the link (which hides the URL). For example:

[http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]

... will give you this:

Wikipedia

Note that for external links, only one set of brackets - [ and ] - are used.

You may wish to make the link more obviously a hypertext-format link by placing < and > around the description:

[http://en.wikipedia.org <Wikipedia>]

<Wikipedia>

For example:

If you'd like to read a fairly good encyclopedia (but one that discriminates against "pedophiles" and does not allow self-proclaimed "boylovers" to edit pages, see [http://en.wikipedia.org < Wikipedia >]and search for the archived "talk" pages for the pages related to pedophilia.

If you'd like to read a fairly good encyclopedia (but one that discriminates against "pedophiles" and does not allow self-proclaimed "boylovers" to edit pages, see <Wikipedia>and search for the archived "talk" pages for the pages related to pedophilia.

Creating a reference and link to an external source (see:Category:Citation templates)

You can create a numbered reference to a target external page this way:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/Pedophilia]

[1]

... which will link to the Wikipedia page, but which only gives a number (the reference) to click on.

The following is just to give you an idea how references work:

<pre> blah blah <ref>{{cite web|url=PUT_URL_HERE |title=PUT_NAME_OF_LINK_HERE |publisher=PUT_PUBLISHER_HERE |date=PUT_DATE_HERE |accessdate=PUT_ACCESS_DATE_HERE}}</ref></pre>

For quick reference, here are all the possible tags used in references:

{{cite book |last1= |first1= |authorlink1= |last2= |first2= |editor1-first= |editor1-last= |editor1-link= |others= |title= |url= |format= |accessdate= |edition= |series= |volume= |date= |year= |month= |origyear= |publisher= |location= |language= |isbn= |oclc= |doi= |id= |page= |pages= |chapter= |chapterurl= |quote= |ref= |bibcode= |laysummary= |laydate= |separator= |postscript= |lastauthoramp=}}

But in wiki markup, the horizontal rule represents a paragraph-level thematic break. So do not use a horizontal line in article content.

Making a TOC (table of contents) using __TOC__

Use __TOC__ to automatically create a table of contents.

NOTE: A Table of Contents will automatically be created when four headings are added to an article.

It is not necessary to use the tag - not all articles need a table of contents. A table of contents is useful for a longer article which has many sections. A user may wish to "jump" directly to a sectopm by clicking the TOC heading.

If you would like to specify that no TOC is created use this tag:

__NOTOC__

... and no TOC will be created.

The number of levels shown in a TOC depends on the number of headings created using == , === , ==== , ===== , etc. The TOC may be limited to only a certain number of entries by using this tag:

"<pre>" stands for "preformatted text".

Using the <pre> tag can "turn off" the wiki markup, and put the text in a dotted box.

Warning: The text, if longer than a normal line, will extend beyond the right margin, and will not be "wrapped" at the normal page margin. This will cause the margin of the page to be very wide.

What is a "non-breaking space" and when to use it - &nbsp;

You can include a non-breaking space (sometimes called non-printing character) if you want two words to always appear together on the same line, such as "Mr. Smith" or "400 km/h", using   instead of a regular space between the two words which need to be always kept together, and never be separated on different lines.

Using the following:

Mr. Smith

... the two words "Mr." and "Smith" will never have the "Mr." at the end of one line, and the "Smith" on the start of the next line. They will always stay together.

Why wiki markup is preferred to HTML markup in wikis

• Consistency - all editors use the same style of mark-up.
• The raw source for editing looks "cleaner".
• It forces people who have spent years learning and practicing HTML markup to spend even more time learning a new mark-up language, which slows them down considerably.
• An easy-to-use - and also free - on-line converter is unnecessary to use to convert HTML to wiki markup.
• A very few HTML commands could be used as "exploits" (but this is easily protected against, and any good sysadmin will have done this already of necessity).
• Some sysadmin are just jerks. ;- )
