Start your Wiki link as follows:

New section

Subsection

Sub-subsection

• Start with a second-level heading (

  ==
  

  ); don't use first-level headings (=).
• A #Placement_of_the_Table_of_Contents_.28TOC.29 will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections.
• If appropriate, place subsections in an appropriate order. If listing countries, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of OECD countries, or some random order.

A single newlinegenerally has no effect on the layout.These can be used to separatesentences within a paragraph.Some editors find that this aids editingand improves the function diff(used internally to comparedifferent versions of a page).

But an empty linestarts a new paragraph.

• When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (#lists).

You can break lines
without starting a new paragraph.

• Please use this sparingly.
• Close markup between lines, do not start a link or italics or bold on one line and close it on the next.

• It's easy to create a list:
• Start every line with a star (asterisk).
• More stars means deeper levels.
• A newline in a list

• An empty line starts a new list.

* It's easy to create a list:
** Start every line with a star.
*** More stars means deeper levels.
**** A newline in a list
marks the end of a list item.

Definition list : list of definitions

item : the item's definition

• Begin with a semicolon. One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing.

; Definition list : list of definitions
; item : the item's definition
; another item

A colon indents a line or paragraph.

• This is primarily for displayed material, but is also used for discussion on Wiki links.

: A colon indents a line or paragraph.
A manual newline starts a new paragraph.

When there is a need for separating a block of text

The blockquote command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does.

The '''blockquote''' command will indent 
both margins when needed instead of the 
left margin only as the colon does.  

(See formula on right):

• This is useful for:
• pasting preformatted text;
• algorithm descriptions;
• program source code;
• ASCII_art;
• chemical structures;
• WARNING: If you make it wide, you page_widening and hence less readable, especially for people who use lower resolutions. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.

 IF a line starts with a space THEN
     it will be formatted exactly
         as typed;
     in a fixed-width font;
     lines will not wrap;
 END IF

• Please note the American spelling of "center".

Centered text.

A horizontal_dividing_line:this is above it

• Mainly useful for
• disambiguation - but to be used sparsely, only when separating completely different, unrelated (groups of) meanings
• separating threads on Talk pages.

A [[horizontal dividing line]]:
this is above it
----
and this is below it.

London has public_transport.

• A link to another Wikipedia article.
• Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended).
• Thus the link above is to the URL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_transport, which is the Wikipedia article with the name "Public transport". See also Wiki link.

London has [[public transport]].

San Francisco also haspublic_transport.

• Same target, different name.
• This is a piped_link.
• The "piped" text must be placed first, the text that will be displayed, second.

San Francisco also has
[[public transport|
public transportation]].

San Francisco also haspublic_transportation.

Examples include buses, taxis,and streetcars.

• Endings are blended into the link.
• Preferred style is to use this instead of a piped link, if possible.

San Francisco also has
[[public transport]]ation.

Examples include [[bus]]es, [[taxi]]s,
and [[streetcar]]s.

See the Wiki link.

• A link to another namespace.

See the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]].

• The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page.
• Identifiers may be created by attaching an id="..."> attribute to almost any HTML element. This doesn't work with legacy browsers.

• The server fills in the part after the pipe character (|) when you save the page. The next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. When Wiki linking your edits, you will not see the expanded form until you press Save and Edit again. The same applies to links to sections within the same page (#link-to-section).

Viniculture_in_London is a pagethat does not exist yet.

• You can create it by clicking on the link (but please do not do so with this particular link).
• To create a new page:
1. Create a link to it on some other (related) page.
2. Save that page.
3. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing.
4. For more information, see Wiki link and check out Wikipedia's Wiki link.
5. Please do not create a new article without linking to it from at least one other article.

• Wiki link one article title to another by placing a directive like the one shown to the right on the first line of the article (such as at a page titled "[[USA]]").
• Note that, while it is possible to link to a section, it is not possible to redirect to a section. For example, "#REDIRECT [[United States#History]]" will redirect to the United_States page, but not to any particular section on it. This feature may be implemented in the future - see 218 (it appears as a bug).

#REDIRECT [[United States]]

• Link to a page on the same subject in another language by using a link of the form:

  [[language code:Title]]
  

  .
• It does not matter where you put these links while editing as they will always show up in the same place when you save the page, but placement at the end of the edit box is recommended.
• Please see Wiki link and the Wiki link.

• To put an article in a Wiki link, place a link like the one to the right anywhere in the article. As with interlanguage links, it does not matter where you put these links while editing as they will always show up in the same place when you save the page, but placement at the end of the edit box is recommended.

[[Category:Character sets]]

• To link to a Wiki link page without putting the article into the category, use an initial colon (:) in the link.

[[:Category:Character sets]]

Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources:

1. Bare URL: http://www.nupedia.com/ (bad style)
2. Unnamed link: [1] (only used within article body for footnotes)
3. Named link: Nupedia

See Interwiki_map for the list of shortcuts.

• Square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a space (not a pipe) to separate the URL from the link text in the "named" version.
• In the URL, all symbols must be among:
  A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ \ / ~ % - + # ? ! = ( ) @
• If a URL contains a character not in this list, it should be encoded by using a percent sign (%) followed by the hexadecimal code of the character, which can be found in the table of ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters. For example, the caret character (^) would be encoded in a URL as %5E.
• If the "named" version contains a closing square bracket "]", then you must use the HTML special character syntax, i.e. #93; otherwise the MediaWiki software will prematurely interpret this as the end of the external link.
• There is a class that can be used to remove the arrow image from the external link. It is used in Ref to stop the URL from expanding during printing. It should never be used in the main body of an article. However, there is an exception: wikilinks in Image markup. An example of the markup is as follows:
• Markup:

  
  [http://www.sysinternals.com/
  ntw2k/freeware/winobj.shtml WinObj]
  

• Display: WinObj
• See Wiki link for style issues.

• Link to books using their Wiki link. This is preferred to linking to a specific online bookstore, because it gives the reader a choice of vendors. However, if one bookstore or online service provides additional free information, such as table of contents or excerpts from the text, then a link to that source will aid the user and is recommended.
• ISBN links do not need any extra markup, provided you use one of the indicated formats.
