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 [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki], and therefore can be edited the same way as many other sites, like [[w:Main Page|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 <code>&lt;nowiki&gt;</code> tag.
*: For example; To make "<nowiki>[[You're]] ''the'' '''man''' {{now}} [dog !]</nowiki>", you'd first type &lt;nowiki&gt;, what you'll write, and end it with &lt;/nowiki&gt;. 
*To make comments only visible when editing, you'd type <nowiki><!-- Comment --></nowiki>. Press "edit" for a proof. <!-- this is the 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 <nowiki>[[Fads]]</nowiki>.
* 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 [[Fads|link to ''Fads'']], you'd write <nowiki>[[Fads|link to Fads]].</nowiki>
* 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]].
*: <nowiki>[http://www.ytmnd.com]</nowiki> makes [http://www.ytmnd.com]
* To make a link to a site outside the wiki using different text, separate the URL and the text with a space.
*: <nowiki>[http://www.ytmnd.com YTMND]</nowiki> makes [http://www.ytmnd.com YTMND]
* To make a link to a user's page in the wiki:
*: <nowiki>[[User:max|Max Goldberg]]</nowiki> makes [[User:max|Max Goldberg]].
* To make a link to a user's profile in YTMND:  
*: <nowiki>{{ytmnduser|max}}</nowiki> makes {{ytmnduser|max}}.

==List Formatting==
#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.
# When in a numbered list, a hash and a colon will make an indent.
#: Such as this.
# An asterik (shift + 8) will make a bullet.
#* Such as this.

==Article Formatting==
# Two equals signs makes a main topic.
#: See Formatting An Article.
# Three equals signs makes a sub-topic.
#: See Text Formatting.
# Four equals signs makes a sub-sub-topic.

==Special Characters==
