{{Template:Banner|'''?'''|Need == <strong>A <strike>short</strike> guide to add markup definition formatting text for this wiki</strong> ==(Formatting help specific to allow linking to pnut hashtags, usernames, conversations, etcthis 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] == A = Hashtag RSS feed at pnut.io ===<strikecode>short<nowiki>https://pnut.io/strikefeed/rss/posts/tags/{tag}</nowiki> guide </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 text for this Wiki </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 as something with too much effort expended. Content 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 ===
 # Use When you're editing use the Preview button. Use it often. The preview button is your friend.# Look If all else fails look at someone else’s page for clues.# Don’t be frightened to break something, it changes can be reverted if necessary.
# Try not to break anything (see the first edict above.)
==== 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>
(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 ===
* Bar
* Baz
 
=== 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>
=== Other ===
A number of html formatting tags can also be used, such as
hr, pre, strike, strong
