The following guide serves as a guide to Wiki-text hosted on this wiki. If you'd like a general guide to editing pages, you can view the MediaWiki guide to editing pages [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing_pages here]. A wikitext cheatsheet is available [[wikipedia:Help:Cheatsheet|here]].

==Formatting text== 

These are the basics of wikitext:

===Basic styles===

{{see|wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Text formatting}}

{{markup|
<nowiki>'''Bold text'''
</nowiki>|'''Bold text'''|
<nowiki>''Italic text''
</nowiki>|''Italic text''|
<nowiki>'''''Bold and italic text'''''
</nowiki>|'''''Bold and italic text'''''|
<nowiki><s>Strikethrough</s>
</nowiki>|<s>Strikethrough</s>|
<nowiki><code>Code (monospaced)</code>
</nowiki>|<code>Code (monospaced)</code>}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

===Lists===

{{see|wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Lists|wikipedia:Help:List}}

====Numbered list====

{{markup|
<nowiki>
#Rabbitz
#Gets
#More
#Awesome
##The
###More
####This
###List
##Goes
#On
</nowiki>|
#Rabbitz
#Gets
#More
#Awesome
##The
###More
####This
###List
##Goes
#On}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

====Bulleted list====

{{markup|
<nowiki>

*Awesome
**The
***More
****This
***List
**Goes
*On
</nowiki>|
*Rabbitz
*Gets

*Awesome
**The
***More
****This
***List
**Goes
*On}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

====Term and definition list====

{{markup|
<nowiki>
; Rabbitz (Term) : Awesome (Definition)
</nowiki>|
; Rabbitz (Term) : Awesome (Definition)|
<nowiki>
; Rabbitz (Term) 
: Awesome (Definition)
: Awesomer (Definition)
: Awesomest (Definition)
</nowiki>|
; Rabbitz (Term) 
: Awesome (Definition)
: Awesomer (Definition)
: Awesomest (Definition)}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

===Font color===

====Text color====

{{markup|
<nowiki>{{font color|red|Rabbitz is very awesome}}
</nowiki>|{{font color|red|Rabbitz is very awesome}}|
<nowiki>{{font color|#e38690|Rabbitz is very awesome}}
</nowiki>|{{font color|#e38690|Rabbitz is very awesome}}}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

====Text Color + Background Color====

{{markup|
<nowiki>{{font color|red|tan|Rabbitz is very awesome}}
</nowiki>|{{font color|red|tan|Rabbitz is very awesome}}|
<nowiki>{{font color|#e38690|tan|Rabbitz is very awesome}}
</nowiki>|{{font color|#e38690|tan|Rabbitz is very awesome}}|
<nowiki>{{font color|tan|#e38690|Rabbitz is very awesome}}
</nowiki>|{{font color|tan|#e38690|Rabbitz is very awesome}}|
<nowiki>{{font color|#c6cccc|#e38690|Rabbitz is very awesome}}
</nowiki>|{{font color|#c6cccc|#e38690|Rabbitz is very awesome}}}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

===Font===

{{markup|
<nowiki>{{font|Rabbitz is very awesome|font=Georgia}}
</nowiki>|{{font|Rabbitz is very awesome|font=Georgia}}}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

===Superscript and subscript===

{{markup|
<nowiki>Rabbitz is very <sup>awesome</sup>
</nowiki>|Rabbitz is very <sup>awesome</sup>|
<nowiki>Rabbitz is <sub>awesome</sub>
</nowiki>|Rabbitz is <sub>awesome</sub>}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

=== Headings ===

{{see|wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Section headings|wikipedia:Help:Section}}

Headings are surrounded with equal signs (<code>=</code>). Heading 1, with one equals sign, is used for article titles and should not be used within articles. A table of contents will be generated automatically if there are four or more headings.

<!-- don't use subst:mra here, since it would generate real headings, not fake ones -->
{{markup
|<nowiki>= Heading 1 =
== Heading 2 ==
=== Heading 3 ===
==== Heading 4 ====
===== Heading 5 =====
====== Heading 6 ======
</nowiki>|{{fake heading|sub=1|Heading 1}}
{{fake heading|sub=2|Heading 2}}
{{fake heading|sub=3|Heading 3}}
{{fake heading|sub=4|Heading 4}}
{{fake heading|sub=5|Heading 5}}
{{fake heading|sub=6|Heading 6}}
}}

=== Newlines ===

Single newlines are ignored. To produce a new line in the article, you need to enter two newline characters in wikitext:

{{markup|
<nowiki>This is a

new line
</nowiki>|This is a

new line|
<nowiki>This is not a
new line
</nowiki>|This is not a
new line}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

== Invisible text (comments) ==

{{see|wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Invisible text (comments)|wikipedia:Help:Hidden text}}

Comments are notes that are visible in the wikitext editor, but not in the "rendered" article that is visible to readers.

This may be useful, for example, to alert other editors to common mistakes, or to hide a section of a work-in-progress article but keep your wikitext, so it won't be lost forever.

The hidden text should be surrounded with <code><nowiki><!--</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>--></nowiki></code>. For example: <code><nowiki><!-- this text will be hidden except in 'edit' mode --></nowiki></code>

Comments can also cover multiple lines. For example:

<pre><nowiki>
<!-- This comment covers
multiple lines -->
</nowiki></pre>
<!-- See? You can only see this comment in edit mode. -->

Nesting comments inside of each other can produce odd results. If you somehow find a need for that, you can also used the {{tl|Void}} template, which can be abbreviated as {{tl|^}}.

== Links ==

{{see|wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Links and URLs|wikipedia:Help:Link}}

=== Wikilinks ===

To link to another article, surround the name of the article in two square brackets. For example, <code><nowiki>[[the South Pacific]]</nowiki></code> produces [[the South Pacific]]. You can also change the text displayed. For example, <code><nowiki>[[the South Pacific|TSP]]</nowiki></code> produces [[the South Pacific|TSP]].

If you are editing roleplay pages, you may commonly use this to hide the canon from article names. For Pacifica, you may find it more convenient to use the template {{tl|Pacifica}}, which can be abbreviated as {{tl|Pa}}. (You can click on the name of the template to view its [[wikipedia:Help:Template documentation|documentation]] page, which explains how to use it.)

You can link to a section of a page with <code><nowiki>[[page name#section name]]</nowiki></code>.

[[Intentionally permanent red link|A red link]] indicates that the linked page does not exist yet.

=== External links ===

To link to a page outside of the wiki, use single square brackets. The text to be displayed is separated from the URL by a space.

{{markup|
<nowiki>[https://tspforums.xyz TSP Forums]
</nowiki>|[https://tspforums.xyz TSP Forums]}}<!-- Template:Mra -->

If you are creating an external link to NationStates, you may find it more convenient to use the templates {{tl|Nation}} for nation links or {{tl|Region}} for region links. (You can click on the name of the template to view its [[wikipedia:Help:Template documentation|documentation]] page, which explains how to use it.)

=== Wikipedia links ===

To link to a Wikipedia page, you can add the prefix <code>Wikipedia:</code> before the link:

{{markup|
<nowiki>[[wikipedia:NationStates]]
</nowiki>|[[wikipedia:NationStates]]|
<nowiki>[[wikipedia:NationStates|NationStates]]
</nowiki>|[[wikipedia:NationStates|NationStates]]}}<!-- Template:Mra -->
