New page

==Basics==
All the basic formatting, like bold, italics, and linking.

Bold: Wrap text in triple apostrophes, like this: <nowiki>'''Example'''</nowiki>

'''Example'''

Italic: Wrap text in double apostrophes (NOT quotation marks), like this: <nowiki>''Example''</nowiki>

''Example''

Link to page: Wrap the title in double brackets, like this: <nowiki>[[Example]]</nowiki>

[[Example]]

More about linking is covered in the Linking section.

External link: Wrap the URL in brackets, like this: <nowiki>[http://xyndros.ath.cx/ Link Title]</nowiki>

[http://xyndros.ath.cx/ Link Title]

Include template: Wrap the template title (without the "Template:") in double curly brackets, like this: <nowiki>{{Example}}</nowiki>

''This would be an example of a template, but i don't know how to make them, so its just a page. For a list of the 5 templates currently on this wiki, go [[Templates|here]''

Section header: Wrap the section title with two equal signs on each side, like this: <nowiki>==Example==</nowiki>
For subsections, place three equal signs instead of two.
Articles will gain a table of contents when it has four or more sections.

''For help, see the source of this page, and you will learn (click on view: source)''

==Lists==
===Bulleted list===
To make a bulleted list, place a star before each list item. You can place two stars before each item to make a sublist.

Example:

*Example
*Example
**Example
**Example

===Numbered list===
To make a numbered list, place a number sign before each list item. As with bulleted lists, you can place two to make a sublist.

Example:

#Example
#Example
##Example
##Example

===Unmarked list===
To make an unmarked list, place a colon before each list item. Two colons, sublist, etc.

Example:

:Example
:Example
::Example
::Example

==Tables==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Read this.]

==Signing your posts==
To sign your posts on a talk page, simply add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your post. It is possible to create a custom signature; see [[Help:Preferences#User profile]].

==Pictures==
[[Image:NIG.jpg|thumb|left|Example of left-aligned picture with caption]] 
 
You can place images right in the middle of the text using <nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki>.

But use <nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|left|(caption)]]</nowiki> where (caption) is some text to be placed under it, so it doesn't mess up the page. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
==Linking==
{| style="width:25%"
| '''Before''' || '''After'''
|-
| <nowiki>[[A]]</nowiki> || [[A]]
|-
| <nowiki>[[a|b]]</nowiki> || [[a|b]] (link to a, labeled b)
|-
| <nowiki>[[a]]b</nowiki> || [[a]]b
|-
| <nowiki>[[a|b]]c</nowiki> || [[a|b]]c
|-
| <nowiki>a[[b]]</nowiki> || a[[b]]
|}

==Redirects==
Redirect pages are made when there are multiple names for a single thing, to send an acronym to the full name article, to correct common spelling errors and when an the orignaly searched for article is a sub article of a different article.

To create a redirect create the page that is incorrect and use <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[NAME OF CORRECT PAGE]]</nowiki>

after creating a page with that code on it anyone who searches for the incorrect page should be automatically redirected to the correct page.

'''Do not redirect to a redirect''', it will not work.
