Template:Shortcut}}This page is a Helppage. It does not contain information about Kiwike, but about the wiki and how it works. {{#if:| {{{comment}}}}}

While there is no correct way to make a wiki page, it is suggested that you make an attempt at making it look clean. Other information on formatting can be found here. Also, make sure all edits to the wiki are constructive, adding to the integrity of the article. Destructive posts are not acceptable, and may lead to a ban. And, please no flaming in wiki articles, that is almost guaranteed to lead to a ban.

Proper Formatting

Headings

Headings, which are made like this- ==article title==- keep your information organized and easy to read. You can make lower-level headings by adding equal signs, like ===article title=== or ====article title====.

References

Referring to other resources can add validity to your article, along with helping people with further resources. Articles are referenced like this: <ref>Kiwike.se</ref>

Links

Linking can help bring people to other, relevant resources. Links within the wiki or to other wikis are made like this: [[Article title]], and outside links are referenced like this: [http://Kiwike.se kiwike]

Tables

Making a table on a wiki is quite difficult, and would take far too long to explain here. If you still want to make one, our friends over at Wikipedia have a great deal of resources explaining this, including:

• Wikipedia:How to make a table in Wikipedia
• Help:Tables(on Wikipedia)
• Help:Tables (On MediaWiki)
• Help:Wikitables
