Style general

Use empty lines to separate paragraphs.

When writing multiple paragraphs, separate them by using a blank line between each paragraph. Otherwise, the paragraphs might not appear separate when you preview or save the page.

A paragraph contains one or more sentences. A new paragraph starts here. You can also use '''bold''' and ''italic'' in paragraphs.	A paragraph contains one or more sentences. A new paragraph starts here. You can also use bold and italic in paragraphs.

Avoid accidental links.

Do not do this!
Putting square [[bracket]]s around any [[word]] that [[you]] want is a bad idea. If this [[wiki]] was an [[encyclopedia]] or [[dictionary]], then you would make [[accidental link]]s, but at this wiki, you would only make links to pages that most likely should not be created.

You can link arbitrary links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or some other wiki, by using the [[wiki:name of page|]] syntax. Look at our interwiki map, or use the shortcuts "w:" and "wikt:" for Wikipedia or Wiktionary.

You can put [[wikt:bracket|]]s around any [[wikt:word|]] that [[wikt:you|]] want if you link to Wiktionary.

If you write [[w:wiki]], the "w:" shows. Use a pipe, like [[w:wiki|]] or [[w:wiki|wiki]].

There is advanced wiki markup for lists and indentations.

If you start a line with an asterisk *, it makes a bulleted list. The pound sign # makes a numbered list, while the colon : simply indents.
