| In case you've not used a wiki before, I thought I'd tell you a few of the basic codes... | | In case you've not used a wiki before [[New Wiki User/Now, an introduction to editing...|this]] might be useful for you ;) - [[User:Salak|<font color="FF8C00">Lt.JG Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-independence.jpg|USS Independence|35px]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 12:03, 30 November 2006 (CST) |

| <nowiki>==Heading==</nowiki> will give you a heading, adding more equals signs to each gives different levels of heading (so <nowiki>===Sub-heading===</nowiki> is a level below, if that makes sense.)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>[[USS Independence]]</nowiki> makes a link to a page on this wiki (in this case, [[USS Independence]]), whilst <nowiki>[http://independence.starbase118.net Independence Website]</nowiki> creates a link to an external web page. The text after the gap is the text that appears on the page (so the text above gives [http://independence.starbase118.net Independence Website]).

| Like the external link above, you can also put a link to a page on this wiki behind different text, like [[USS Independence|here]]. To do that, type <nowiki>[[USS Independence|visible text here]]</nowiki> such that the text before | is the page you want to link to. If you wish to link to Wikipedia, you can add wp: before the page name, or ma: if you want to link to Memory Alpha (like [[wp:Main Page]] or [[ma:Main Page]]).

| To put text in bold, like '''this''', then you need to surround the bolded text with 3 apostrophes on each side, like <nowiki>'''this is surrounded'''</nowiki>. To make text ''italic'', it's 2 apostophe's instead of 3. They can be '''''combined'''''.

| I think that's the basics, if there's anything you need, feel free to ask. Hope that's of help. You might also like to look at the [[wp:Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|Cheetsheet on Wikipedia]] as that summarises most of what I've said here. If you want to practice using the code, there's always the [[118wiki:Sand Box|sandbox]] by the way :) - [[User:Salak|<font color="FF8C00">Lt.JG Salak</font>]][[Image:Nav-independence.jpg|USS Independence|35px]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 12:03, 30 November 2006 (CST)
