Quick guide to wiki editing

Basic formatting

<nowiki>= Heading 1 = == Heading 2 == I am ''italic'' and I'm '''bold''' text. What about * some * fine ** lists? Or some even finer # numberd ## wiki # lists? Maybe a link to the [http://gp2x.72dpiarmy.com outside world] or one to the [[Main Page]] in the wiki? Why not use a custom [[Main Page|wiki link name]]? Did you know that you can use <div style="background-color: red">HTML</div>? Source code starts with a blank so do empty lines in code Alternative: <pre> </nowiki></pre>

Use Categories

To structure the Wiki and make users aware of other interesting pages try to categorize your content. See Special:Categories for a list of existing categories.

To add a new category just add

[[Category:Category name]]

to the bottom of the pages (multiple such Category tags if required). If the category page doesn't exist yet just edit it and add a brief description of the category. For more help see the mediawiki category help page.
