Intro

Welcome to EUSWiki, a MediaWiki hosted wikipedia page. All and any help you may need can be found here, but I will try and provide the mere basics here.

Text Editing

For those of you who may know HTML5, woo-hoo! This is similar to that, but not quite. There's a whole host of different syntax, but the same logic applies.


You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two pairs of apostrophes like ''this''.

Text formatting markup

Description Youtype You get
Character (inline) formatting – applies anywhere
Italic text ''italic''

italic

Bold Text '''Bold'''

bold

Bold and italic

''' ''bold & italic'' '''

bold & italic

Strike text

<strike>strike text</strike>

strike text
Escape wiki markup <nowiki>no markup</nowiki>

no ''markup''

===Section Formatting===
Headings of different levels == Test 2 == === Test 3 === ==== Test 4 ==== ===== Test 5 ===== ====== Test 6 ======

Note: Any article with 4 or more headings will automatically create a Table of Contents

Bullet list

* Start each line * with an asterisk (*). ** More asterisks give deeper *** and deeper levels. * Line breaks <br/>don't break levels. *** But jumping levels creates empty space. Any other start ends the list.

  • Start each line
  • with an asterisk (*).
    • More asterisks give deeper
      • and deeper levels.
  • Line breaks
    don't break levels.
      • But jumping levels creates empty space.

Any other start ends the list.

Numbered list # Start each line # with a Numbersign/Hashtag (#). ## More number signs give deeper ### and deeper ### levels. # Line breaks <br />don't break levels. ### But jumping levels creates empty space. # Blank lines # end the list and start another. Any other start also ends the list.
  1. Start each line
  2. with a number sign (#).
    1. More number signs give deeper
      1. and deeper
      2. levels.
  3. Line breaks
    don't break levels.
      1. But jumping levels creates empty space.
  4. Blank lines
  1. end the list and start another.

Any other start also ends the list. </translate>

Indent text

: Single indent
Double indent

Categories

To add a category, you can insert the following tag at the very end of the article: 

           [[category:**********]]
                         Where ****** is your desired category.

In order to make nested categories, you simply need to replicate the tag. Say I want to categorize Countries with a subcategory England with a subcategory London:

[[category:Countries]] [[category:England]] [[category:London]]
