=== How do I delete a page/file? === | === How do I delete a page/file? === | ||
You can mark a page or file for deletion by adding [[Template:Delete]] to it. Add <code><nowiki>{{Delete|Reason}}</nowiki></code> (replace "Reason" with why you think the page or file should be deleted) and save or use Visual Editor's template search. An administrator will delete the page/file later if they agree with your reasoning. | You can mark a page or file for deletion by adding [[Template:Delete]] to it.

=== Why is my text in code font? === | |||
Demonstration of code font | |||
MediaWiki program formats lines that begin with spaces differently from the rest of the text. If you edit a page and found after saving that a portion of the text appears as in the demonstration above, see if there are one or more spaces before it. | |||
If you meant to indent a paragraph, use colons : instead, as they will be rendered as indentation at the beginning of a line. For other objects, consider using CSS tags if needed. | |||

=== Why can't I edit some pages with Visual Editor? === | |||
Visual Editor is designed to be used on article pages. Editing certain other pages such as [[Help:Templates|templates]] may be impossible or cumbersome with it or is still under development. As such, only the source editor is enabled by default on these pages. If you still wish to edit such page with Visual Editor, you may typically do so by including <code><nowiki>&veaction=edit</nowiki></code> at the end of the page URL. | |||
