==General==
To edit a MediaWiki page, click on the "'''Edit'''" tab above or on a section "'''edit'''" link on the right. This will bring you to the '''edit page''': a page with a text box containing the editable text. Depending on the preferences that have been set, a version of the edit page called '''preview page''' appears: in this case the rendered page is also shown; if not you get it by pressing "Show preview" (see below).


After adding to or changing the wikitext it is useful to press "Show preview", which produces the corresponding webpage in your browser but does not make it publicly available yet (not until you press "Save page"). Errors in formatting, links, tables, etc., are often much easier to discover from the rendered page than from the raw wikitext.

font-family { Georgia, Times New Roman; }
<br />


==Composition of the edit page==
table.wikitable {
*Edit Toolbar (optional)
  width: 150px;
*Edit Box
  font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman;
*Edit Summary box
  margin: 1em 1em 1em 0;
*Save/Preview/Cancel links
  background: #f9f9f9;
*List of templates used
  border: 2px #aaaaaa solid;
*Preview (optionally either on every edit page or just after pressing "Show preview"; optionally the first item)
  border-collapse: collapse;
}


<br />
table.wikitable th, table.wikitable td {
<br />
  border: 1px #aaaaaa solid;
  padding-left: 0.7em;
  padding-right: 0.7em;
  padding-top: 0.2em;
  padding-bottom: 0.3em;
}


== Minor edits ==
table.wikitable th {
When editing a page, a user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". This feature is important, because users can choose to ''hide'' minor edits in their view of the Recent Changes page to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.
  background: #f2f2f2;
  text-align: center;
}


When to use this is somewhat a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that consists of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit".  A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth revisiting for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely. So any "real" change, even if it is a single word, should be flagged as a "major edit".  
table.wikitable caption {
  margin-left: inherit;
  margin-right: inherit;
  font-weight: bold;
}


/* navtable class for skinning template navigation tables | Added by GB -- Copied from previous Wiki */


== Basic text formatting ==
table.navtable {
  float: right;
  margin: 0 0 1em 1em;
  font-size: 85%;
  border: 1px solid #aaa;
  /*border: 1px solid #e0e0c0;*/
  width: 200px;
  clear: both;
}


{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
table.navtable tr {
!width="50%"|What it looks like
  /*background: #f2f2f2;*/
!width="50%"|What you type
  background-color: #ffffe0;
|-
  text-align: left;
|
}
You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.


3 apostrophes will bold '''the text'''.
table.navtable th {
  text-align: center;
  /*border-bottom: 2px solid #ccf;
  border: 1px solid #aaa;*/
  border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
  font-weight: bold;
}


5 apostrophes will bold and italicize
table.navtable td {
'''''the text'''''.
  /*border-bottom: 2px solid #ccf;
  border: 1px solid #aaa;
  border: 1px solid #e0e0c0;*/
  border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
}


(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special -- <br> there are just '''' left over ones'''' that are included as part of the text.)

A single newline
generally has no effect on the layout.
These can be used to separate
sentences within a paragraph.
Some editors find that this aids editing
and improves the ''diff'' function
(used internally to compare
different versions of a page).
 
But an empty line
starts a new paragraph.
 
When used in a list, a newline ''does'' affect the layout ([[#lists|see below]]).

== HTML tags ==
You can use some '''HTML tags''' too.  For a list of HTML tags that are allowed, see [[Help:HTML in wikitext|HTML in wikitext]]. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.
 
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

Don't skip levels,

; Word : Definition of the word

; A word : Which has a definition
: Also a second one

Begin with a semicolon. One item per line;
a newline can appear before the colon, but
