__NOTOC__== <strong>A <strike>short </strike> guide to formatting text for this wiki</strong> ==(Formatting help specific to this network and this wiki.) It may seem a bit odd to launch straight into the specifics first, but this part is possibly going to be referred to by most once familiar with the basics. Scroll for the [[#Basic_formatting|Basic formatting section.]] If you absolutely '''must''' create a page to test something major, please create it using <code>@yourusername/Sandbox</code> and add <code><nowiki>[[Category:Sandbox]]</nowiki></code> to automatically add it to the [[:Category:Sandbox]] Page. === Your Wiki user page ===If you [[:Category:User|want to be listed as a Wiki editor/creator]] please create your Wiki page with <code>@yourusername</code> as the title and copy the text from [[Template:User]]. If you don't wish to follow that template please at least add <code><nowiki>[[Category:User]]</nowiki></code> at the bottom of the markup. === Username at pnut.io ===<code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/{@username} @username]</nowiki></code> - for example, <code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/@pnut @pnut]</nowiki></code> - gives [https://pnut.io/@pnut @pnut] === Hashtag at pnut.io ===<code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/tags/{tag} tag]</nowiki></code> - for example, <code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/tags/ThemeMonday #ThemeMonday]</nowiki></code> - gives [https://pnut.io/tags/ThemeMonday #ThemeMonday] === Hashtag RSS feed at pnut.io ===<code><nowiki>https://pnut.io/feed/rss/posts/tags/{tag}</nowiki></code> - for example, <code><nowiki>https://pnut.io/feed/rss/posts/tags/ThemeMonday</nowiki></code> - gives https://pnut.io/feed/rss/posts/tags/ThemeMonday === Add a Calendar ===For calendar usage, see the [https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleCalendar SimpleCalendar MediaWiki Extension.] (Please use infrequently, it creates badly-named pages by default. The intention is to supersede it with something even better.) === Banners ===To draw the reader’s attention to facts about a page add a:{{Template:Banner|‽|Banner!}}(This is not a default Mediawiki item.)<pre>{{Template:Banner|'''‽'''|Banner!}}</pre> <hr> == <strong>Basic formatting</strong> ==(Yet another [https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting guide to Mediawiki markup.]) It’s not necessary to learn a complex markup language to create good-looking wiki pages. MediaWiki markup is different to DokuWiki markup and both are, of course, different to Markdown. Plain text will work just as well to create useful, informative content; content beats form every time. The toolbar at the top of the editing area is very useful and transforms a previously arcane art into something akin to using a simple text editor to create, er… complex things. What follows is a guide for those who wish to delve deeper and for those who wish to apply consistent styling across this wiki. === Things to remember ===# When you're editing use the Preview button. Use it often. The preview button is your friend.# If all else fails look at someone else’s page for clues.# Don’t be frightened to break something, changes can be reverted if necessary.# Try not to break anything (see the first edict above.) <hr> === Section headings ===Note: Heading 1 is used by the Mediawiki software as the page title. == Heading 2 ==To separate text from other sections.<pre>==Heading 2 ==</pre> === Heading 3 ===Subsections…<pre>=== Heading 3 ===</pre> ==== Heading 4 ====<pre>==== Heading 4 ====</pre> '''Note that the presence of 3 or more section headings in a page automatically generates a table of contents.'''It can be disabled by addition of the <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> Magic Word (preferred location: top of page.) <hr>
=== Basic styles ===
<pre>Monospaced text:</pre>
<<nowiki />pre>Monospaced text<<nowiki />/pre> for code, explanations. (Or start a line with a space.)
(Some html tags can also be used.)
=== Links ===
(Red links are links to pages that don’t exist yet.)
Wiki pages, e.g. [[Events]]: <pre>[[Events]]</pre>
Wiki pages with friendlier names, e.g. [[HistoryPnutHistory|The past is past]], with a pipe between URL and text: <pre>[[HistoryPnutHistory|The past is past]]</pre>
External pages, just type the URL, e.g. https://pnut.io: <pre>https://pnut.io</pre>
External Pages with friendlier names e.g. [https://pnut.io is a nice site], with a space between URL and text: <pre>[https://pnut.io is a nice site]</pre> === Lists ===Numbered list:# One# Two# More # One # Two # More Bulleted list:* Foo* Bar* Baz * Foo * Bar * Baz
Hopefully useful.=== Other ===A number of html formatting tags can also be used, such as hr, pre, strike, strong
