You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:

Three tildes gives your user name: WikiSTC

Four tildes give your user name plus date/time: WikiSTC 22:21, 3 March 2006 (CST)

Five tildes gives the date/time alone: 22:21, 3 March 2006 (CST)

: Three tildes gives your user name: ~~~

You can use HTML tags, too, if you want. Some useful ways to use HTML:

Put text in a typewriter font. The same font is generally used for computer code.

Strike out or underline text, or write it in small caps.

Superscripts and subscripts: x², x₂

Invisible comments that only appear while editing the page. Comments should usually go on the talk page, though.

You can use <b>HTML tags</b>, too, if you
want. Some useful ways to use HTML:

Put text in a <tt>typewriter font</tt>.
The same font is generally used for
<code>computer code</code>.

<strike>Strike out</strike> or
<u>underline</u> text, or write it
<span style="font-variant:small-caps">
in small caps</span>.

Superscripts and subscripts:
x<sup>2</sup>, x<sub>2</sub>

Invisible comments that only appear while editing the page.
<!-- Note to editors: blah blah blah. -->

Section headings

Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them.

Subsection

Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

A smaller subsection

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs. Start with two equals signs; don't use single equals signs.

• Unordered lists are easy to do:
  • Start every line with a star.
    • More stars indicate a deeper level.
• A newline
• in a list

marks the end of the list.

• Of course you can start again.

1. Numbered lists are also good:
   1. Very organized
   2. Easy to follow

A newline marks the end of the list.

1. New numbering starts with 1.

Another kind of list is a definition list:

word 

definition of the word

here is a longer phrase that needs a definition

phrase defined

a word 

with a definition

that requires

multiple paragraphs

Another kind of list is a ''definition list'':
; word : definition of the word
; here is a longer phrase that needs a definition
: phrase defined
; a word : with a definition
: that requires
: multiple paragraphs

• You can even do mixed lists
  1. and nest them
  2. inside each other
     • or break lines
       in lists.

     definition lists

     can be

     nested too

A colon indents a line or paragraph.

A newline after that starts a new paragraph.

This is often used for discussion on Talk pages.

You can make horizontal dividing lines to separate text.

But you should usually use sections instead, so that they go in the table of contents.

Here's a link to a page named sandbox. You can even say sandboxs and the link will show up correctly.

You can put formatting around a link. Example: sandbox.

The first letter of articles is automatically capitalized, so sandbox goes to the same place as Sandbox. Capitalization matters after the first letter.

Here's a link to a page named [[sandbox]].
