Wikipedia:Training/core/Text editing

Now it's time to get started editing! You can navigate to your own sandbox page in another browser window to try it out for yourself.

(Note: This and the following exercises use wikicode. You may wish to try the same exercises using the VisualEditor as well.)

The wiki code for bold text is like this:

'''bold''' = bold

Creating a wikilink to another article looks like this:

[[bold]] = bold

That link to the article bold will redirect you to Emphasis (typography). To link to an article with a different name than the text, used a piped link, like this:

[[boldness|bold]] = bold (with the link to boldness)
