This page serves as a guide on how to create Wikipedia pages. (A Wikipedian is a human who helps improve Wikipedia.)

Note: Wikipedia does not use Markdown. Instead, a pre-made formatting syntax is used, so when editing this Guide, no talking about Markdown. The reason is still unknown.

Practicing editing

Practice in your personal sandbox. It is a great way to practice editing without breaking all of Wikipedia and blowing up the world!

Start an article

To start an article:

• Open the Article Wizard.
• Click a red link in Wikipedia.
• Open a invalid link that looks like a normal Wikipedia article URL.

Format text (WIP)

Use astrophes to make text bold, italic or bolditalic. An example can be found in TylerMagee's sandbox. Use asterisks to make bullet lists.
