Formatting An Article
There are many key tags that you will have to learn when formatting an article. Here is a breakdown on them.
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>.
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 YTMND Fads, you'd write [[YTMND 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 YTMND Fads, you'd write [[YTMND Fads|link to YTMND 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 *: 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. *: <nowiki>[http://www.ytmnd.com] makes [1]
