There are many key tags that you will have to learn when formatting an article. Here is a breakdown on them. YTMND wiki is powered by MediaWiki, and therefore can be edited the same way as many other sites, like Wikipedia.

Text Formatting

  • Two apostrophes makes text italicized.
  • Three apostrophes makes text bolded.
  • A colon (":") will make an indent in the text.
  • To type text as it is without formatting, use the <nowiki> tag.
    For example; To make "[[You're]] ''the'' '''man''' {{now}} [dog !]", you'd first type <nowiki>, what you'll write, and end it with </nowiki>.
  • To make comments only visible when editing, you'd type <!-- Comment -->. Press "edit" for a proof.

Link Formatting

  • To make a link to a page on the wiki, surround the page's name with double square brackets.
    For example. to make a link to Fads, you'd write [[Fads]].
  • If you want to link a page on the wiki using different text, separate the article name and the text by a pipe ("|").
    For example; To make a link to Fads, you'd write [[Fads|link to Fads]].
  • To make a link to a site outside of the wiki, you can either type it's url and it will automatically make the link (remember to include the http:// part)
    For Example: http://www.ytmnd.com/
  • To make a link to a site outside the wiki appear as a number in brackets, surround the URL in brackets. Note that links to some major wiki sites have special formatting to link to their articles, those can be found at Help:Interwiki links.
    [http://www.ytmnd.com] makes [1]
  • To make a link to a site outside the wiki using different text, separate the URL and the text with a space.
    [http://www.ytmnd.com YTMND] makes YTMND
  • To make a link to a user's page in the wiki:
    [[User:max|Max Goldberg]] makes Max Goldberg.
  • To make a link to a user's profile in YTMND:
    {{ytmnduser|max}} makes max.
  • To make a link to a YTMND:
    {{ytmnd|isurvivedunicorns|I Survived the Night of the Unicorns}} links to isurvivedunicorns.ytmnd.com (formatted as I Survived the Night of the Unicorns).

List Formatting

  1. The number sign (shift + 3) will make a numbered list. Use the number sign (a.k.a. hash) each time you want a different number to come up.
  2. When in a numbered list, a hash and a colon will make an indent.
    Such as this.
  3. An asterik (shift + 8) will make a bullet.
    • Such as this.

Article Formatting

  1. Two equals signs makes a main topic.
    See Formatting An Article.
  2. Three equals signs makes a sub-topic.
    See Text Formatting.
  3. Four equals signs makes a sub-sub-topic.
