Great work, guys! (But why are the other tutorials listed 1, 4, 3, 2, 5 at the top?) Robin Patterson 05:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs some extra topics

I thought that this tutorial was very helpful, but I was wondering how to create a box that has all the titles in it and interlinks to those titles. The same ones that are on almost any page. Russianfriend742 19:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

That "table of contents" is automatically created by using headers in your page. --Snicker 16:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advanced editing?

There should be a link to advanced editing. I'm looking for an "escape character" so that I can use the asterisk symbol at the beginning of a line without it becoming a bullet. --Snicker 16:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

You can click on "No wiki formatting" button or use <nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>--shashank 17:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to insert code

Is there a way to insert code into the wiki page. I mean without messing with the indentations? Does it also support C language formatting (I mean showing different colors for keywords and comments)? --shashank 17:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so. As an online encyclopedia, such functionality probably wouldn't really improve the content, and has the possibility of messing up templates, hiding ads, etc. It is also another layer of depth that would probably be too difficult to program. (The point is for these pages to be 'editable' by the masses, so simpler wins out) Honorsmacked 19:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, there's <code>this, which puts it into Courier</code>.

[edit] hello

[edit] checklists

how do i make a checklist?

[edit] Templates

How about how to use a template with arguments? I can't find any help on using templates, and if there is a page, it shouldn't be hidden.
