Features
The full wiki information is visible on the Special:Version page, but in breif summary
- A visual editor (that may occasionally be buggy)
- Citations
- Many parsing extension
- Syntax highlighting
Formating help
This section includes guides on how to efficiently use the visual editor, and how to understand simple wiki syntax easily
While the wiki posesses a visual editor (horray); knowing some of the basics of wiki-script is exceptionally usefull, especially for stuff like sub-templates
Linking
Far and away the most usefull wiki syntax is the different kinds of linking syntax
In the visual editor you can eithe link by highlighting a piece of text an pressing the Chain icon, or by typing [[
Internal/Interwiki linking
To link to another page on the wiki, you write [[Target Page | Link Text]]. If no link text is given the name itself is shown
You can link to external wikipedia pages using the interwiki functionality; to use this you apply a prefix; these prefixes are listed on the Interwiki list
Examples:
[[Laser Cutter]]-> Laser Cutter[[Laser Cutter | Laser]]-> Laser[[wiktionary:Moron | Moron]]-> Moron
External linking
External linking is similar to internal linking, but also different (because of course it is)
An external link is specified as [http://example.com/test Link Text]. Here the link text is seperated by a space from the url. As above, if no link text is present, it will just show the link, which here just looks bad
The mediawiki will also automatically link any url written; so if you write http://example.comit will auto-create a link
Examples:
[https://bbc.co.uk The BBC]-> The BBC
Syntax highlighting
The wiki supports syntax highlighting; the extension used to do this utilises Pygments. In the visual editor, this can be done easily by going through insert, then selecting Code block
In wiki script, one writes <syntaxhighlight lang="Your language here" line> to enable it, where your language is something sensible you also need to close that block with </syntaxhighlight>
To disable the line numbers, ommit the line from the command;
Example:
def hello():
print("Hello World!)
if __name__ == "__main__":
hello()
