Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <br>.

HTML tags

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code></code>, <div></div>, and <span></span>. These apply anywhere you insert them.

Syntax Highlighting

For example:

def quick_sort(arr):
	less = []
	pivot_list = []
	more = []
	if len(arr) <= 1:
		return arr
	else:
		pass

is the result of the following wikitext markup:

<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line>
def quick_sort(arr):
	less = []
	pivot_list = []
	more = []
	if len(arr) <= 1:
		return arr
	else:
		pass
</syntaxhighlight>

NWScript highlighting is generally best under C++, but a full list of supported languages is available on the extension page.

Inserting symbols

Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. [<tvar name=url>http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/</tvar> Many operating systems and browsers allow to insert special characters] through a menu option or operating system panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Special characters</tvar>|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen. </translate>

As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML character references.

For example:

  • the rightwards arrow symbol () can be displayed using the &rarr; sequence.
  • an em dash () can be displayed using &mdash;.

<templatestyles src="Note/styles.css" />

<translate> Hover over any symbol to reveal the entity that produces it. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.</translate>

<translate> See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; which are both considered equivalent to &rlm; which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

Nowiki for HTML

</translate> Template:Tag <translate> can prohibit (HTML) tags:</translate>

  • <<nowiki/>pre>  → <pre>

<translate> But not & symbol escapes:</translate>

  • &<nowiki/>amp;  → &

<translate> To print & symbol escapes as text, use "<tvar name=1>&amp;</tvar>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<tvar name=2>&amp;nbsp;</tvar>", which results in "<tvar name=3>&nbsp;</tvar>").

Spoilers

Spoiler tags allow text that can be considered Spoilers, or knowledge someone shouldn't easily have in character.

{{#spoiler:hide=hide_message|spoiler_text}}
{{#spoiler:show=show_message|spoiler_text}}
{{#spoiler:show=show_message|hide=hide_message|spoiler_text}}
{{#spoiler:spoiler_text}}

Changing the Title, Description, and Keywords

When you enter the following in a wiki page:

<seo title="word1,word2" metakeywords="word3,word4" metadescription="word5,word6" google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

...or the shorter...

<seo title="word1,word2" metak="word3,word4" metad="word5,word6" google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

...these words are added to the HTML title and meta headers. This makes SEO (search engine optimization) with MediaWiki easier.

For example, the above would become:

<title>word1,word2 - Wiki Name</title>         (the string "word1,word2" replaces page title)
<meta name="keywords" content="word3,word4" />
<meta name="description" content="word5,word6" />
<meta google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />
