Here is a cheatsheet for wiki markup
Creating a Page
To create you own page that is in your User namespace
- Make sure that you are logged into the wiki by looking at the top right hand corner of the page.
- In the URL type "https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/User:<username>/<subpage>
- In the <username> field type YOUR user name
- In the <subpage> field type the title of the page.
- Then in the Top Right hand corner of the page click on the [PAGE TOOLS] button and select CREATE
- To create a page you must have something on the page to Save it.
- Some writers have found that typing "Hi" or "== Introduction =="is good enough to get things moving.
WYSIWYG Interface
This is the editing User Interface for Wiki editing and is a great place for beginners.
After you get a hang of the markup used then you'll likely stop using it because it is quicker and more efficient to type it out rather than having to reach for the mouse.

Dos, Don'ts and Good Habits
This is a collection of small tips for a wiki writer.
Dos
- X
Don'ts
- Do not use H1 because it is reserved for the title of the page.
- X
Good Habits
- It best to leave the main "https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/User:<username>" page as a directory service.
- Where you can collect any and all pages and info that you want to remember.
- This is because sometimes user created pages are hard to track because the URL has to be exactly the same otherwise you'll end up on a blank page because you typed "Example1" rather than "Example_1".
Formatting
Formatting for wiki can be a mix of HTML, CSS, and MediaWiki.
Magic Words
Color
If you want to make a line of text have a specific color then you can use tag.
Here is an example of a worded color.
<span style="color:red;">Here is an example of a worded color.</span>
Here is an example of a color in hexadecimal.
<span style="color:#a9FFBB;">Here is an example of a color in hexadecimal.</span>
