Help:Editing

This article explains how to format articles on Tokusatsu Wiki. When you edit a page, you can use WikiMarkup or HTML to format.

To understand how to edit articles and for more information on editing, please read Help:How To.

Headings
Headings are big dividers on pages, and they show up in the table of contents at the top if the page is large enough.

== heading == === heading ===
 * A heading, like "Headings" (above)
 * A heading, like "Third Level" (below)

Third Level
==== heading ====
 * A heading, like "Fourth Level" (below)

Fourth Level
Please do not use =Heading=, because that creates a first-level heading that should only be used on page titles, which are implemented automatically.

Lists

 * One asterisk (*) makes the first item in a bulleted list, like this one
 * Two asterisks (**) make the next line in
 * Three
 * Four
 * Three
 * one
 * two
 * Three


 * 1) One hash (#) makes the first item in a numbered list
 * 2) Two hashes (##) make the next item
 * 3) And so on
 * 4) And so on
 * 5) The same as the bulleted list

Page Formatting
This is plain text.
 * A single colon indents this text once


 * You can repeat this for a new line too


 * Two colons indents twice
 * Three indents three times.
 * etc.


 * 1) REDIRECT User:Tokusatsu Wiki
 * This will redirect the current page to the page you mention. This should be used for other words that mean the same thing. For example, the page Gojira redirects to Godzilla, because they are just two different words for the same thing. There's a button for this in source mode.

Putting anywhere in an article prevents the little "Edit" buttons showing up at every heading. See Help:Magic Words.

New lines
To create a new paragraph, the "enter" key must be pressed twice after the end of a paragraph. For example:

One two

Will render as:

One two

As you see, the "two" is combined with the "One" because there is only 1 new line in between them. To successfully create a new paragraph, there have to be 2 lines (one empty line in between the two), as follows:

One

two

Which will result in:

One

two

Single-space separation should only ever be used with non-text templates (such as infoboxes) or with headings and galleries.

Table of Contents
To place a table of contents over to the right hand side of the page, simply put  where you want it to show. You can also use anywhere in an article to stop a table of contents showing up. See Help:Magic Words.

Categories
This will add the page to the list of Working Documents, and automatically place a link at the bottom of the page. This page IS in the Working Documents category, and so at the bottom of this page you can see the link to it.

If you just want to link to a category page, put a colon at the start of the link such as   There's a button for this in source mode.

Templates
This will show the code for whatever is in page Template:Monsters.

Comments
All wikitext formatting applies to comments and forums as well.
