Headings

Further information: wikipedia:Help:Wikitext § Section headings, and wikipedia:Help:Section

Headings are surrounded with equal signs (=). 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.

Markup Renders as 
= Heading 1 =
== Heading 2 ==
=== Heading 3 ===
==== Heading 4 ====
===== Heading 5 =====
====== 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 Renders as 
This is a

new line

This is a

new line 

This is not a
new line

This is not a new line

Invisible text (comments)

Further information: wikipedia:Help:Wikitext § Invisible text (comments), and 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 <!-- and -->. For example: <!-- this text will be hidden except in 'edit' mode -->

Comments can also cover multiple lines. For example: 

<!-- This comment covers
multiple lines -->

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

Links

Further information: wikipedia:Help:Wikitext § Links and URLs, and wikipedia:Help:Link

Wikilinks

To link to another article, surround the name of the article in two square brackets. For example, [[the South Pacific]] produces the South Pacific. You can also change the text displayed. For example, [[the South Pacific|TSP]] produces 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 {{Pacifica}}, which can be abbreviated as {{Pa}}. (You can click on the name of the template to view its documentation page, which explains how to use it.)

You can link to a section of a page with [[page name#section name]].

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 Renders as 
[https://tspforums.xyz TSP Forums]

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

Wikipedia links

To link to a Wikipedia page, you can add the prefix Wikipedia: before the link:

Markup Renders as 
[[wikipedia:NationStates]]

[[wikipedia:NationStates|NationStates]]
